Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a continuous panorama of the Brazilian coastline, featuring the famous white sand dunes of Mangue Seco, numerous river estuaries, and the lush Coconut Coast of Bahia.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Aracaju Cityscape

Detailed view of the Sergipe capital and the winding Sergipe River during the departure phase.

🛶

Rio Real Estuary

The massive river system that forms the natural border between the states of Sergipe and Bahia.

🏜️

Mangue Seco Dunes

The iconic white sand dunes and cinematic landscapes of the village made famous by Brazilian literature.

🥥

Costa dos Coqueiros

Miles of dense coconut groves and pristine beaches along the northern coast of Bahia.

🐢

Praia do Forte

A glimpse of the historical fishing village and the Tamar Project sea turtle sanctuary during the approach.

🛣️

Linha Verde Highway

The scenic ecological highway that parallels the coast, visible cutting through the tropical vegetation.

This is the premier side for this route. Sit on the right to see the diverse geography where the 'Sertão' meets the sea. For the best photography, opt for a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the dunes and beaches without creating glare on your window.

🏖️

Orla de Atalaia

Aerial view of Aracaju's famous boardwalk and urban beaches immediately after takeoff.

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue South Atlantic Ocean and distant shipping lanes.

🪸

Coastal Reef Lines

🌅

Oceanic Sunrise

On early morning flights, this side provides a spectacular view of the sun rising over the sea.

Choose this side for early morning flights to see the sunrise, or if you prefer the calming, unobstructed view of the open ocean. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best views of the Sergipe coastline before the plane banks.
