Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Myrtle Beach to Atlanta. The left side wins overall because the Grand Strand coastline departure is a genuinely spectacular and rare view — a long uninterrupted Atlantic beach panorama that the right side cannot match. The landing view on the right is good but Atlanta's skyline is modest at distance. Left-side passengers also get views of the South Carolina Midlands and the transition into Georgia's Piedmont during cruise.

During takeoff from Myrtle Beach International (MYR), sit on the Left side for the best views. MYR's primary runway 18/36 means departures heading northwest toward Atlanta will typically turn left, putting the Atlantic Ocean and Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand coastline on the left side. You get a sweeping view of the barrier island chain and the long arc of beach stretching north toward North Carolina. Notable sights include: Grand Strand coastline, Myrtle Beach State Park, Waccamaw River and Lake, Myrtle Beach urban grid.

When landing at The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Flights from Myrtle Beach approach Atlanta from the east, and Hartsfield-Jackson's primary arrival runways (8L/8R or 9L/9R heading west) put the Atlanta skyline and downtown on the right side as you descend. You get a clear view of the city center and the sprawling metro grid. Notable sights include: Atlanta downtown skyline, Stone Mountain (visible to the northeast on descent), Lake Allatoona to the northwest, Hartsfield-Jackson's parallel runway complex.

The flight from Myrtle Beach International (MYR) to The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) takes Approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the South Carolina Midlands — flat pine-forested coastal plain giving way to the Sandhills region around Columbia. The Wateree and Broad Rivers are visible as dark winding channels. Crossing into Georgia, the terrain rises slightly into the Piedmont plateau, with Lake Hartwell and Lake Russell visible as large irregular reservoirs on the Georgia-South Carolina border. The landscape transitions from pine flatwoods to mixed hardwood-pine Piedmont forest as you approach Atlanta.
