Which side of the plane to sit from Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia) to Campo Grande Airport (Campo Grande)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of Brasilia's architectural layout upon departure and superior views of the vast Cerrado landscape and agricultural transition during the descent into Campo Grande.
Brasília's Plano Piloto
On a western departure, you get a perfect aerial view of Lúcio Costa's airplane-shaped urban design and the Esplanada dos Ministérios.
Lake Paranoá
Full view of the artificial lake that surrounds the eastern portion of the capital, including the iconic JK Bridge.
Goiás Agribusiness Belt
Vast, geometrically perfect soybean and corn fields near Rio Verde, showcasing Brazil's agricultural powerhouse.
Pantanal Horizon
As the plane nears Campo Grande, the horizon opens up towards the Pantanal wetlands to the west.
Sit in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of Brasilia's architecture immediately after takeoff. This side is spectacular during late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the horizon, though it can get quite warm. Keep your camera ready for the first 5 minutes of flight for the city layout.
Southern Federal District
View of the satellite cities including Gama and Santa Maria during the initial climb out of BSB.
Corumbá IV Reservoir
A massive man-made lake on the border of the Federal District and Goiás, known for its deep blue waters.
Itumbiara Hydroelectric Plant
Visibility of one of the major dams on the Paranaíba River, marking the border between Goiás and Minas Gerais.
Mato Grosso do Sul Border
The crossing of the Paranaíba River into MS, where the terrain shifts towards larger cattle ranching estates.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides a better view of the large hydroelectric systems that power central Brazil. As you approach CGR, look for the 'Terra Roxa' (red soil) patterns that are characteristic of the region's fertile ground.
