FLN → BSB
Which side of the plane to sit from Hercílio Luz International Airport (Florianopolis) to Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views, the Right Side is the clear winner for the approach into Brasilia, providing iconic views of the Paranoá Lake and the city's unique architectural layout.
Search flights from FLN to BSB
Emerald Coastline
Glances of the northern beaches of Santa Catarina, including the high-rises of Balneário Camboriú in the distance.
Metropolitan Hubs
Potential views of the Curitiba and São Paulo metropolitan areas depending on the specific air corridor assigned.
Paranoá Lake
The massive man-made lake surrounding the Federal District is best viewed from this side during the descent.
Plano Piloto
As the plane turns for final approach into BSB, look for the 'airplane' shape of the city and the Esplanade of Ministries.
Juscelino Kubitschek Airport
A great view of the airport's modern infrastructure and satellite terminals just before touchdown.
This is the preferred side for the 'Brasília experience.' Aim for a window seat away from the wing to see the city's urban planning. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side without cabin glare.

Santa Catarina Island
Stunning aerial views of Florianopolis's southern beaches and the Serra do Tabuleiro mountains immediately after takeoff.
Serra do Mar
Continuous views of the lush, Atlantic Forest-covered mountain range that separates the coast from the plateau.
Sunset Horizon
On late afternoon flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the Brazilian hinterland.
Agricultural Heartland
A patchwork of vast soy and corn plantations across the interior of São Paulo and Minas Gerais states.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight early on, but prepare for the glare during sunset. It offers a better perspective of the rugged terrain of the southern highlands during the initial climb.
