BSB → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual journey, featuring the transition from the Brazilian highlands across the Caribbean islands and along the vibrant Florida coastline before descending into Georgia.
São Francisco Basin
Aerial views of the massive river systems and hydroelectric dams in northeastern Brazil.
Caribbean Archipelagos
Breathtaking turquoise waters and coral reefs as you pass over the Bahamas or near the coast of Cuba.
Florida Coastline
The glittering skylines of Miami and Fort Lauderdale set against the Atlantic Ocean.
Piedmont Plateau
The lush green forests and red clay earth characteristic of the approach into Atlanta.
The right side is ideal for morning arrivals to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. Watch for the stark contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow turquoise banks of the Bahamas. During the final hour, look for the dense forest coverage of Georgia, which is particularly vibrant during the autumn months.
Cerrado Plateau
Expansive views of the high-altitude tropical savanna surrounding the Brazilian Federal District.
Amazonian Canopy
The edge of the world's largest rainforest, often appearing as a vast, unbroken green carpet.
Gulf of Mexico
Deep blue waters and offshore rigs as the flight approaches the panhandle of Florida.
Montgomery Skyline
A distant view of Alabama's capital city and the rolling hills of the Deep South.
Choose the left side if you prefer seeing the vast, untamed wilderness of the western Amazon and the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico on evening flights. This side is typically quieter for sleeping as it avoids the bright morning sun during northbound journeys.
