Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Brussels to Atlanta. The right side wins overall because the transatlantic and overland routing keeps the left side largely over open ocean and featureless Canadian/US interior. The right side picks up the southern tip of Greenland's ice sheet at cruise altitude, the coast of Newfoundland, and the better Atlanta approach views. Left wins at takeoff but right dominates the majority of the flight.

During takeoff from Brussels Natl (BRU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Brussels Airport typically departs westward on runway 25R/25L, meaning a left-side seat faces south over central Brussels city center. You get a clear view of the urban grid, the Sonian Forest to the southeast, and the flat Brabant farmland patchwork stretching toward Charleroi. Notable sights include: Brussels city center grid, Sonian Forest (dark woodland southeast of city), Charleroi industrial corridor, flat Brabant agricultural patchwork.

When landing at The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Atlanta Hartsfield typically lands from the east on runways 26L/26R/27L/27R, with aircraft approaching from the northeast over Georgia. A right-side seat faces north and northwest, giving views over downtown Atlanta's skyline, Midtown, and the distinctive Chattahoochee River corridor as you descend through 5,000-8,000 feet. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Midtown Atlanta towers, Chattahoochee River corridor, Stone Mountain (flat-topped granite dome visible to the northeast on approach).

The flight from Brussels Natl (BRU) to The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) takes Approximately 9 hours 30 minutes to 10 hours.

The flight tracks northwest over the English Channel and southern England, then across the North Atlantic on a great circle route passing south of Iceland. Around the midpoint you cross southern Greenland where the ice sheet edge and fjords are visible from 35,000 feet on clear days. The route then crosses Labrador and Quebec, where the vast boreal forest and lake-dotted Canadian Shield are visible, before descending over New England and the Appalachian ridgelines into the US Southeast.
