Which side of the plane to sit from Campo Grande Airport (Campo Grande) to Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Paranaíba River crossing and the iconic 'airplane' shape of Brasília's Pilot Plan during the descent and landing sequence.
Serra de Maracaju
The rugged edges of the plateau system that separates the plateau from the Pantanal lowlands to the west.
Paranaíba River
The major waterway defining the border between Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, and Goiás.
Corumbá IV Reservoir
A massive artificial lake with deep blue waters and jagged shorelines located just south of the capital.
Brasília Pilot Plan
The world-famous 'airplane' layout designed by Lúcio Costa, including the Ministries Esplanade.
Lake Paranoá
The expansive man-made lake that borders the eastern side of the city, dotted with sailboats and luxury piers.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Brasília's unique urban design. Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the monuments. During landing, look for the National Congress and the Cathedral. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Paranaíba River crossing.
Campo Grande Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the 'Cidade Morena' immediately after takeoff, showcasing its grid pattern and green spaces.
Cerrado Biodiversity
Vast stretches of the Brazilian Savannah, characterized by twisted trees and unique shrubland ecosystems.
Agricultural Patchwork
Massive soy and corn plantations in the interior of Goiás, creating a geometric quilt of green and gold.
Distrito Federal Satellite Cities
Close-up views of Taguatinga and Ceilândia as the aircraft aligns for the final approach into BSB.
Sit on the left for better views of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. This side also provides a great perspective of the dense urban development surrounding the federal capital just before touchdown. Keep an eye out for the distinct red soil (terra roxa) typical of this region.
