What is the flight path from Heathrow to Atlanta?

Answer 1

A flight from London to Athens will firstly fly over Kent, UK before crossing the English Channel. After the flight flies across the Channel the flight will fly over Belgium (passing over Brussels), then over southern Germany (south of Frankfurt), then over Austria and then over the coast of Croatia and much of the former countries of Yugoslavia. The plane will spend some time crossing the Mediterranean Sea before descending into Athens.

Answer 2

A flight from Atlanta Georgia to London will typically fly northeast out of Atlanta towards the northeastern US states, then the flight will fly over the Atlantic Ocean passing south of Greenland and Iceland, then the flight will fly over southern Ireland, South Wales and then start to descend into London.

Answer 3

It would go up along the eastern states of the United States, heading towards the coast and then Canada, then across the north Atlantic and in over the northwest of Ireland and on to Dublin. If you look at a globe you would see it is the most direct away, even though it looks different on a map. That is because the Earth is round, not flat.

Answer 4

A flight from Heathrow to Atlanta will (unless dictated by the weather), usually fly west out of Heathrow heading towards Bristol. The plane would then fly over south Wales, the Irish Sea and southern Ireland before crossing the Atlantic. The flight will then fly over the Atlantic passing south of Greenland and Iceland, heading towards the northeastern US states. The flight will fly over many parts of the northeast USA (such as New York) before descending into Atlanta.
