Which side of the plane to sit from Congonhas Airport (Sao Paulo) to Campo Grande Airport (Campo Grande)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the São Paulo city center upon departure and provides front-row seats to the massive hydroelectric complexes on the Paraná River. On afternoon flights, it also offers a spectacular view of the sunset as the plane heads west.
Avenida Paulista
Catch a glimpse of the financial heart of Brazil and the iconic skyscrapers of central São Paulo.
Tietê River Meanders
Watch the historic river snake through the interior, showing the transition from urban to rural landscapes.
Jupiá Hydroelectric Dam
A massive engineering feat visible where the flight crosses the border between São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul.
Paraná River
The majestic crossing of one of South America's longest rivers, marking the gateway to the west.
Cerrado Sunset
Uninterrupted views of the horizon turning deep orange and purple on late afternoon departures.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the massive Paraná River dams isn't obstructed. Aim for a flight between 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM to catch the sun setting over the red soil of the Cerrado plateau as you approach Campo Grande.
South Zone Skyline
Aerial view of the dense Moema and Brooklin districts immediately after takeoff from Congonhas.
Castello Branco Highway
Follow the massive arterial road that connects the capital to the agricultural interior of the state.
Jurumirim Reservoir
Vast blue waters of the Paranapanema River basin visible during the mid-flight cruise.
MS Agribusiness
Expansive cattle ranches and geometric crop fields as you enter the Mato Grosso do Sul airspace.
The left side is preferable for morning flights as it avoids the direct glare of the sun. It also provides a better view of the landing approach if the wind dictates a northern pattern into CGR, offering a view of the southern residential suburbs.
