Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most iconic views, specifically the architectural layout of Brasilia's Plano Piloto during departure and a superior view of the Goiania skyline during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
📐

Plano Piloto Layout

A bird's-eye view of Lucio Costa's airplane-shaped city design, including the Eixo Monumental and the National Stadium.

🛶

Corumbá IV Reservoir

A massive body of water located halfway between the two cities, reflecting the sky and highlighting the region's hydroelectric geography.

🏭

Anápolis Logistics Hub

The industrial landscape of Anápolis, one of the fastest-growing cities in the Brazilian interior, visible mid-route.

🏢

Goiania Skyline

A dense cluster of skyscrapers in the Setor Bueno and Marista districts appearing as the aircraft aligns for landing.

The right side is the priority for photographers wanting to capture the 'Airplane' shape of Brasilia. During the dry season (May to September), watch for the dramatic golden sunsets over the Goias plateau, though smoke from seasonal fires can occasionally haze the horizon.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🏙️

Lago Sul and JK Bridge

View of the affluent South Lake district and the distinctive three arches of the Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge during the initial climb.

🌊

Paranoá Lake Shoreline

The expansive artificial lake that borders the capital, providing a stark blue contrast to the red soil of the plateau.

🌳

Cerrado Ecosystem

Vast stretches of the Brazilian savanna, characterized by twisted trees and a unique mosaic of agricultural fields and native vegetation.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights, as you will be facing away from the direct setting sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the southern residential 'Smarter' sectors of Brasilia shortly after takeoff.
