Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Madison to Atlanta. While the left side wins at takeoff with Madison's lakes, the right side captures the more dramatic arrival sequence over Atlanta's skyline and Stone Mountain. For the cruise portion heading southeast, the right side also tracks closer to Chicago's southern suburbs early in the flight and later picks up the Tennessee River valley and Appalachian foothills in Kentucky and Tennessee.

During takeoff from Dane Co Rgnl Truax Fld (MSN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Madison's runways typically favor departures to the southeast toward Atlanta, meaning a left-side seat looks back over Lake Mendota and Lake Monona as the aircraft climbs out. These two lakes flanking the Capitol isthmus are immediately recognizable and distinctive from low altitude. Notable sights include: Lake Mendota, Lake Monona, Wisconsin State Capitol on the isthmus, Lake Wingra to the southwest.

When landing at The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Atlanta's primary arrival flows from the north and northwest, with aircraft typically descending on final approach to runways 26L/26R or 27L/27R heading westward, or from the north on 10/28 complex. On a flight from Madison arriving from the north, a right-side seat gives views over downtown Atlanta's skyline during the descent before touchdown. The approach over the northern suburbs also reveals Stone Mountain clearly to the right side. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Stone Mountain (granite monadnock visible to the northeast), Lake Allatoona to the northwest, Chattahoochee River corridor.

The flight from Dane Co Rgnl Truax Fld (MSN) to The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) takes Approximately 2 hours to 2 hours 20 minutes.

The flight tracks southeast over central Illinois farmland, then crosses the Ohio River near Evansville, Indiana. Over western Kentucky and Tennessee, the Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake reservoir system are visible. The route then crosses Nashville and the Cumberland Plateau before descending into Georgia over the rolling Piedmont terrain north of Atlanta.
