Which side of the plane to sit from Hercílio Luz International Airport (Florianopolis) to Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Santa Catarina coastline, including the high-rise skyline of Balneário Camboriú and the dense, lush Atlantic Forest of the Serra do Mar during the descent.
North Island Beaches
Aerial perspectives of Jurerê Internacional and Canasvieiras as the plane turns north.
Balneário Camboriú
A stunning view of Brazil's tallest skyscraper skyline situated right against the Atlantic shore.
São Francisco do Sul Bay
The intricate waterways and historical coastal landscape near the border of Santa Catarina and Paraná.
Serra do Mar State Park
Dramatic ridges of the Atlantic Forest that the flight crosses just before entering the Curitiba plateau.
The right side is superior for coastal photography. Look out about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the Balneário Camboriú skyline. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the coastline and the green mountains of the Serra do Mar.
Hercílio Luz Bridge
Clear view of the iconic suspension bridge connecting Florianópolis island to the mainland during takeoff.
Serra do Tabuleiro
The largest protected area in Santa Catarina, featuring rugged mountain peaks and dense forest canopy.
Metropolitan Curitiba
The urban expansion of São José dos Pinhais and the southern districts of Curitiba during final approach.
Sit on the left if you want to see the departure from the bay area of Florianópolis. This side is better for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun over the ocean.
