Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Atlanta to Oranjestad. The right side wins overall because the Atlanta departure views are more dramatic and varied — city skyline, Stone Mountain, and the Piedmont landscape — compared to the landing approach where both sides offer Caribbean water. The right side also tracks the Cuban coastline and parts of the Greater Antilles chain during the cruise portion of the flight.

During takeoff from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Right side for the best views. ATL's primary departure runways (8L/8R/9L/9R heading east, or 26L/26R/27L/27R heading west) mean a southeastward climb-out toward Aruba favors the right side. You get a clear view over downtown Atlanta's skyline and the rolling Piedmont terrain as you bank south. The right side keeps the city in view longer during the turn. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline (Peachtree corridor), Stone Mountain (visible to the northeast as a granite dome), Lake Lanier (to the north), Chattahoochee River corridor.

When landing at Reina Beatrix International (AUA), sit on the Left side for the best views. AUA's runway 11 (the primary arrival heading from the northeast) puts the approach over the Caribbean from the north-northeast. The left side gives you the best view of Aruba's rugged northern coastline, the salt flats near Savaneta, and the turquoise shallow waters of the leeward coast as you descend. The right side faces mostly open ocean. Notable sights include: Aruba's rugged northern limestone coastline (Arikok National Park terrain), the shallow turquoise leeward lagoon and Palm Beach strip, Oranjestad harbor and downtown, the salt pans near Balashi.

The flight from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) to Reina Beatrix International (AUA) takes Approximately 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight tracks southeast over Georgia and Florida, crossing the Florida peninsula near Orlando or south of it, then over the Florida Straits into Cuban airspace. The northern coast of Cuba and its central mountain ranges (Sierra del Escambray) are visible below. The route then crosses the Caribbean Sea, passing east of Jamaica and over the open water of the eastern Caribbean before descending toward Aruba from the north-northeast.
