Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from San Juan to Atlanta. The left side wins overall due to the spectacular takeoff view of Old San Juan, San Juan Bay, and El Morro — one of the most visually striking urban coastal departures in the Caribbean. The landing view on the right is good but Atlanta's approach is relatively flat and suburban. The left side also tracks the Florida coastline and Gulf Stream waters during the cruise portion.

During takeoff from Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci (SIG), sit on the Left side for the best views. SIG's runway 10/28 means departures typically head east or west over San Juan Bay. A left-side seat on eastbound departure gives you Old San Juan on the peninsula, San Juan Bay, and the Atlantic coastline. Westbound departures on runway 28 put the left side over the lagoons and the city of Santurce. Notable sights include: Old San Juan peninsula and El Morro fort, San Juan Bay, Condado Lagoon, Atlantic coastline of Puerto Rico.

When landing at The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Right side for the best views. ATL's primary arrival corridors from the southeast bring aircraft in on runways 08L/08R or 09L/09R heading roughly east to west. On this approach from Puerto Rico, the aircraft tracks northwest over Georgia, and right-side seats get the downtown Atlanta skyline off to the north as you descend through the final approach over the southern suburbs. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Stone Mountain (visible to the northeast on clear days), Hartsfield-Jackson airport complex, Chattahoochee River corridor.

The flight from Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci (SIG) to The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes to 3 hours 45 minutes.

After departing Puerto Rico, the flight crosses the open Atlantic and the Bahamas archipelago — the shallow Bahamian banks are distinctively turquoise and visible from altitude on clear days. The track then crosses Florida, typically over central Florida near Orlando, where Lake Okeechobee may be visible to the south and the chain of central Florida lakes is apparent. The flight then crosses Georgia's piedmont, a rolling forested landscape with few dramatic features until the Atlanta basin.
