Hewandorra to Atlanta is 2,014 miles (3,242 km), a flight of about 4 hours 30 minutes.

The mid-flight cruise over Cuba and the Gulf of Mexico offers some coastal views but both sides are roughly equivalent at cruising altitude.
Flight Path

It then crosses Puerto Rico or Hispaniola depending on routing, followed by Cuba's elongated landmass which is clearly visible from cruising altitude. After Cuba the route crosses the Gulf of Mexico or the Florida Straits, then crosses Florida or the Florida panhandle before tracking north over Georgia toward Atlanta.
