GRULFW

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most engaging views, specifically the sprawling urban density of São Paulo upon departure and the picturesque West African coastline including the city of Lomé during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

São Paulo Urban Jungle

Marvel at the sheer scale of the world's 4th largest city and its sea of skyscrapers shortly after takeoff from GRU.

⛰️

Serra do Mar Coastal Range

View the lush, cloud-forested mountains that separate the Brazilian highlands from the Atlantic coast.

🌊

Equatorial Atlantic Crossing

Observe the changing colors of the deep ocean and interesting cloud formations as the flight nears the Intertropical Convergence Zone.

🇬🇭

Ghanaian Coastline

Depending on the flight path, you may see the edges of the Ghanaian coast as the aircraft begins its descent toward Togo.

🏨

Lomé Waterfront

Get a bird's-eye view of the Palais de Lomé, the coastline boulevards, and the city's bustling market districts during landing.

Choose the left side for a daytime flight to see the Brazilian coast and the approach into Africa. Since this route is mostly eastbound, the left side faces North, which helps avoid the direct, harsh glare of the southern sun during midday travel. The approach into LFW often follows the coastline, making the left side prime for seeing the city center before touchdown.

Right Side Highlights
6.0
🏖️

Baixada Santista

Catch a glimpse of the Port of Santos and the southern beaches of São Paulo state if the departure route turns south.

🌌

South Atlantic Stargazing

On overnight flights, the absence of light pollution over the open ocean offers an incredible view of the Milky Way and southern constellations.

☀️

Oceanic Horizon

Enjoy unobstructed views of the sunset or sunrise over the Atlantic, providing dramatic lighting for photography.

🚢

Gulf of Guinea Vessels

Spot large cargo ships and tankers waiting to enter the Port of Lomé as the plane descends over the water.

The right side is ideal for night flights if you enjoy celestial views without the interference of city lights. If the flight arrives in the early morning, the right side will experience the sunrise over the Atlantic. However, be aware that during the final approach into Lomé, the right side will mostly face the open ocean until the aircraft is very close to the runway.
