Jersey Shore
Aerial views of the New Jersey coastline and the industrial ports of the Newark bay area upon ascent.
Amazon Rainforest
Hours of flying over the world's largest tropical rainforest, featuring winding brown rivers cutting through deep green canopy.
Brazilian Highlands
The unique 'Cerrado' savanna landscape of central Brazil with its distinct red earth and plateau formations.
Sao Paulo Metropolis
A stunning look at one of the world's largest cities, characterized by an endless sea of skyscrapers and high-rise buildings on descent.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the South American continent. As most EWR-GRU flights are overnight, the Amazon is best viewed during the final 3-4 hours of the flight as the sun rises. Ensure your window is clear of frost for the descent into GRU, as the urban density is best seen from this side depending on the landing pattern.

Manhattan Skyline
Breathtaking views of the New York City skyline and the Freedom Tower immediately after departure from Newark.
Leeward Islands
Glimpses of the eastern Caribbean chain, including potential views of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Atlantic Sunrise
On typical overnight flights, the left side provides a front-row seat to the sunrise over the open ocean.
Serra do Mar
Lush coastal mountain ranges of Brazil as the plane tracks toward the Sao Paulo state border.
Choose the left side for morning arrivals to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. This side is also better for spotting the lights of the US East Coast and Caribbean island chains during the first few hours of the flight. If the flight departs to the North, you will get a perfect view of Manhattan shortly after takeoff.
