GRU → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this northbound route, offering the best views of the Caribbean islands, the Florida coastline, and the rising sun during early morning arrivals.
Serra do Mar
Dramatic coastal mountain ranges and lush Atlantic forest shortly after departure.
Amazon Tributaries
Intricate networks of rivers and wetlands snaking through the northern Brazilian landscape.
Caribbean Archipelago
Stunning turquoise waters and island chains including parts of Cuba and the Bahamas.
Florida Peninsula
Bird's-eye view of the Everglades, Miami's coastline, and Central Florida's lakes.
Atlanta Skyline
Clear views of the Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown skyscrapers during the descent into ATL.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Be ready with your camera as you cross the Caribbean into Florida for high-contrast views of coral reefs and the transition from sea to land.
Sao Paulo Metropolis
Massive urban sprawl and architectural density shortly after takeoff from GRU.
Amazon Basin
Expansive views of the dense rainforest canopy and remote interior of Brazil.
Gulf of Mexico
Deep blue waters and maritime traffic while crossing towards the southern United States.
Florida Panhandle
Scenic views of the white sand beaches and emerald waters along the Gulf coast.
Georgia Piedmont
Lush green rolling hills and suburban landscapes during the final approach to Atlanta.
Since most flights are overnight, the left side is excellent for viewing the moon and stars without the glare of the morning sun. In the early morning, look for the lights of coastal cities along the Gulf of Mexico.
