CWB → XAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba) to Serafin Enoss Bertaso Airport (Chapeco)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more varied view of the southern Brazilian highlands, including the dense Araucaria forests and the rugged transition into the state of Santa Catarina.
Curitiba Urban View
A sweeping view of the Paranaense capital's dense skyline shortly after departure from CWB.
Araucaria Forests
The iconic umbrella-shaped Parana Pine trees scattered across the high altitude plateaus.
Santa Catarina Highlands
The rolling hills and green peaks of the Planalto Serrano as the flight moves south.
Iguaçu River Basin
Aerial perspectives of the winding river systems that define the geography of the border region.
Sit on the left (A/B seats) for the best views of the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. This side avoids direct glare during morning flights and provides a clearer view of the plateau terrain before the descent into Chapecó.
Industrial Corridor
Views of the industrial and logistical hubs surrounding São José dos Pinhais during takeoff.
Agricultural Patchwork
Vast fields of soybean and corn creating a colorful mosaic across the western Paraná landscape.
Reservoir Views
Occasional views of hydroelectric dams and reservoirs scattered throughout the interior of the state.
The right side (E/F seats) is excellent for observing the vast scale of Brazilian agribusiness. If flying in the morning, be prepared for some sun glare. Choose a seat away from the wing to fully capture the transition from urban Curitiba to the rural interior.
