GRU → BPS
Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Porto Seguro Airport (Porto Seguro)?
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.
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.
