Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a continuous panorama of the Brazilian coastline, featuring the dramatic Serra do Mar mountains, vast coastal lagoons, and an incredible view of the Convento da Penha upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Baía de Guanabara

Panoramic view of Rio's iconic bay, including the bridge and the mountains surrounding the city during takeoff.

⛰️

Serra dos Órgãos

Jagged mountain peaks visible in the distance, including the famous Dedo de Deus formation on clear days.

🌊

Lagoa de Araruama

One of the world's largest hypersaline lagoons, showcasing striking shades of turquoise and deep blue.

🌾

Paraíba do Sul Delta

The complex river system and agricultural plains near Campos dos Goytacazes as they meet the ocean.

⛪

Convento da Penha

A historic 16th-century convent perched on a 154-meter high cliff, visible during the final descent into Vitória.

Book an 'A' window seat for the most scenic experience. Opt for a morning flight (between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM) to have the sun behind you, illuminating the green mountains of the Serra do Mar without the afternoon haze or glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Região dos Lagos

Aerial perspective of the stunning white sand beaches of Arraial do Cabo and Búzios jutting into the Atlantic.

🏗️

Bacia de Campos

Spot the offshore oil and gas platforms that dot the horizon in one of Brazil's most productive energy zones.

🏝️

Coastal Archipelagos

Small, uninhabited tropical islands scattered along the coastline of Espírito Santo as you approach VIX.

🌉

Terceira Ponte

The massive 'Third Bridge' connecting Vila Velha and Vitória, visible over the water during the landing pattern.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue South Atlantic Ocean, particularly beautiful during sunrise flights.

Choose the right side if you are flying during sunrise to witness the sun emerging from the Atlantic. This side is also excellent for spotting the 'Brazilian Caribbean' (Arraial do Cabo) if the pilot takes a slightly more oceanic route.
