Search flights from CNF to SSA
Serra do Espinhaço
The only mountain range in Brazil recognized as a Biosphere Reserve, visible shortly after departing CNF.
Jequitinhonha Valley
Rugged terrain and deep valleys marking the transition toward the Brazilian Northeast.
Atlantic Coastline
Beautiful views of the breaking waves and turquoise water as the plane aligns with the shore.
Salvador Urban Beaches
Clear views of popular beaches like Stella Maris and Flamengo during the low-altitude approach.
Farol da Barra
The iconic lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula can often be spotted during clear-weather coastal approaches.
The right side is the 'money side' for the arrival. Request a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Salvador skyline and the Atlantic coast. On afternoon flights, this side offers great golden hour lighting on the city.
