Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Atlanta to Newark. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. The Atlanta departure offers the city skyline and Stone Mountain, and the Newark approach on the left delivers the iconic Manhattan and Upper Bay panorama — arguably one of the best urban approach views in US aviation.

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 26L/26R heading west) mean left-side passengers get views over downtown Atlanta's skyline during the climbing turn northward. The city's dense core with its distinctive cluster of skyscrapers is clearly visible from the left as the aircraft banks northeast toward the route. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Stone Mountain (distinctive granite dome 16 miles east of downtown), Chattahoochee River corridor, Lake Allatoona to the northwest.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR's typical approach on runway 22L/22R comes in from the northeast over Staten Island and the Upper Bay, putting left-side passengers directly over the Manhattan skyline, the Hudson River, and the Statue of Liberty. This is one of the most dramatic urban approaches in the world and the left side captures the full panorama. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Statue of Liberty and Upper New York Bay, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

The flight from The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast over the Appalachian Mountains (Blue Ridge and then the Ridge and Valley province visible as parallel forested ridges in the Carolinas and Virginia), the Shenandoah Valley, then the densely urbanized Northeast Corridor through the Delaware Valley and Philadelphia before descending into the New York metro area.
