Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Atlanta to Windsor Locks. The left side wins at both ends of the flight. During the cruise portion tracking northeast over the Carolinas and mid-Atlantic states, the left side also keeps you oriented toward the Appalachian ridgelines visible in the distance over Virginia and the broader urban corridor of the Northeast. Consistent advantage throughout.

During takeoff from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Left side for the best views. ATL's primary departure runways (8L/8R heading east, or 27L/27R heading west) mean a left-side seat gives you views over downtown Atlanta's skyline and the dense urban grid of the metro area. On an eastbound departure, the left side tracks north over Midtown and Buckhead before the aircraft turns northeast toward the Carolinas. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Stone Mountain (the massive granite dome 16 miles east of downtown), Lake Lanier reservoir to the northeast, Chattahoochee River corridor.

When landing at Bradley International (BDL), sit on the Left side for the best views. BDL typically uses runways 06/24 or 33/15. On a northeast approach to runway 06, or a southerly approach to runway 33, the left side looks west and south over the Connecticut River valley, giving clear views of Hartford's compact skyline and the broad Connecticut River below. The right side faces mostly toward rural eastern Connecticut with fewer distinctive features. Notable sights include: Connecticut River (wide and clearly visible from altitude), Hartford skyline, Springfield Massachusetts urban area to the north, Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts.

The flight from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) to Bradley International (BDL) takes Approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast over the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Virginia (visible as parallel ridgelines from altitude), then over the Virginia Piedmont and the Washington DC metro area or slightly east of it, before crossing into New Jersey and southern New England. The Delaware River and Hudson River valley may be visible depending on exact routing. The Appalachian ridges of central Pennsylvania are a notable mid-flight feature on the left side.
