Which side of the plane to sit from Congonhas Airport (Sao Paulo) to Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania)?

São Paulo Skyline
Immediate views of the Avenida Paulista high-rises and the dense urban canyon of central São Paulo right after takeoff.
Ibirapuera Park
A clear overhead view of the city's most famous green space and its distinctive museums and lakes.
Rio Grande Reservoirs
Stunning views of the massive hydroelectric reservoirs marking the border between São Paulo state and Minas Gerais.
Cerrado Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the vast interior plains.
Aparecida de Goiânia
The sprawling suburban landscape and industrial hubs as the aircraft begins its final descent into GYN.
For the most dramatic experience, book an afternoon flight (around 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM). Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the São Paulo skyline isn't blocked by the engines. During the climb, look for the Pinheiros river winding through the city.

Distant but clear sightings of the urban centers of Uberaba and Uberlândia as you transit the Minas Gerais panhandle.

Excellent views of the 'Setor Bueno' and its modern skyscrapers during the right-hand turn for landing at GYN.
