Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the stunning Brazilian coastline, featuring the rugged Serra do Mar, the island-dotted waters of Ubatuba, and a spectacular aerial entry into the Discovery Coast's turquoise reefs.

Right Side Highlights

🌊

Litoral Norte SP

View the dramatic meeting of the rainforest and the sea along the Ubatuba and Ilhabela coastline.

⚓

Vitória & Vila Velha

Spot the coastal capital of Espírito Santo and the iconic Terceira Ponte bridge connecting the cities.

🐋

Abrolhos Bank

During winter months, you may see the vast shallow waters of this protected marine sanctuary.

🏖️

Discovery Coast

Stunning views of the red cliffs and white sand beaches of Arraial d'Ajuda and Trancoso.

🪸

Porto Seguro Reefs

Observe the intricate coral formations and emerald waters during the final descent into BPS.

The right side is the definitive choice for scenic lovers. For morning flights, wear sunglasses as the sun rises over the Atlantic. Ensure you are seated either in front of or behind the wing to capture the vibrant color transition from the deep blue ocean to the bright green coastal reefs during the landing phase.

🏙️

São Paulo Urban Sprawl

Witness the massive scale of South America's largest city immediately after takeoff from GRU.

⛰️

Serra da Mantiqueira

Glimpse the high altitude peaks and ridges of the interior mountain range dividing SP and MG.

Rio Doce Valley

Fly over the winding path of one of the region's most significant rivers as it heads toward the ocean.

Monte Pascoal Park

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the first land sighted by Portuguese explorers is visible.

The left side is best for those interested in the vast interior geography and the dense Atlantic Forest reserves of Southern Bahia. For afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, providing a cooler cabin and better visibility without sun glare.
