Which side of the plane to sit from Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba) to Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (Salvador)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Serra do Mar mountain range and the transition from the lush Atlantic Forest to the turquoise waters of the All Saints Bay during the final approach.
Serra do Mar
Dramatic escarpments and lush Atlantic Forest peaks immediately after takeoff from Curitiba.
Ilha do Mel
The distinctive profile of the Honey Island and the Paranaguá bay system.
Baixada Santista
Distant views of the Port of Santos and the coastal cities of São Paulo state.
Serra da Mantiqueira
High-altitude mountain vistas as the flight moves northeast through the interior.
Abrolhos Bank
Vibrant blue ocean patches and potential sightings of the coral reef systems off the coast of Bahia.
Baía de Todos os Santos
A stunning panoramic entry into Salvador over the massive All Saints Bay.
Sit in front of the wing for the best view of the Serra do Mar mountains. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the landscape, as the sun will be behind you or directly overhead, highlighting the deep green of the forest and the blue of the ocean.
Paraná Plateau
Rolling hills and vast agricultural landscapes typical of the southern Brazilian interior.
Cuesta Formations
Interesting geological ridge formations in the interior of São Paulo state.
Sertão Transition
The visible shift in vegetation from humid forest to the drier caatinga landscapes as you enter Bahia.
Costa do Descobrimento
Views of the scenic coastline near Porto Seguro during the cruise phase.
Morro de São Paulo
The famous car-free island and turquoise waters just south of Salvador.
Salvador Skyline
The modern high-rises and dense urban layout of Salvador during the final landing sequence.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a great perspective on the changing geography of the Brazilian interior. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for coastal views near the destination.
