BSB → CWB
Which side of the plane to sit from Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia) to Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the iconic aerial view of Brasilia's 'Airplane' city layout upon takeoff and provides a more diverse landscape as you transition from the Cerrado plateaus toward the Serra do Mar mountains.
Brasília Plano Piloto
View the world-renowned urban design of Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa immediately after takeoff.
Triângulo Mineiro
Aerial perspective of the industrial and urban hubs in the western panhandle of Minas Gerais.
Greater Campinas
High-altitude view of one of Brazil's largest and most technologically advanced urban clusters.
Serra do Mar Distant Range
Vistas of the lush, Atlantic Forest-covered mountains as the flight nears the Southern region.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the best lighting without solar glare. On takeoff from BSB, look back quickly to see the 'Plano Piloto' shape. During the descent into CWB, this side often sees the dense city center skyline of Curitiba before touchdown.
Cerrado Plateaus
Sweeping views of the unique Central Brazilian savanna and its distinct plateau formations.
Paranapanema River
The natural blue border dividing the states of São Paulo and Paraná, often dotted with hydroelectric dams.
Agricultural Heartland
A mosaic of red-soil farms and massive crop fields typical of northern Paraná state.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid direct sunlight entering the cabin. It is generally quieter visually, focusing on the vast agricultural expansion of Brazil's interior. Keep an eye out for the large river systems that mark the state boundaries.
