Which side of the plane to sit from Erechim Airport (Erechim) to Lauro Kurtz Airport (Passo Fundo)?

Our Recommendation
6.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Passo Fundo urban area and the University campus during the final approach, along with the undulating 'Coxilha' landscapes of the Gaucho Highlands.

UPF Campus

The sprawling campus of the University of Passo Fundo, one of the region's largest landmarks, visible during descent.

πŸ™οΈ

Passo Fundo Skyline

The high-rise buildings of the 'Capital of the North' coming into view as the aircraft lines up for Runway 08/26.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. During the final approach to PFB, focus your gaze toward the horizon to spot the dense high-rise cluster of central Passo Fundo.
