GRU → SDQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Las Américas International Airport (Santo Domingo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for its sweeping views of the deep Amazon rainforest and the opportunity to witness spectacular sunsets over the Caribbean Sea on standard northbound flight paths.

São Paulo Metropolis
Unparalleled views of the massive urban sprawl of South America's largest city during initial climb.
Amazon Rainforest
The deep, unbroken green canopy of the western Amazon basin stretching to the horizon.
River Meanders
The intricate, snake-like patterns of major Amazonian tributaries like the Juruá.
Venezuelan Llanos
The vast tropical grasslands stretching toward the Orinoco river system.
Caribbean Sunset
Breathtaking colors as the sun dips over the open sea on afternoon and evening flights.
Choose an A or B seat for the best photography. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the plane initially, then provide a golden hour glow over the rainforest. Keep your window shade open about 3 hours in to see the scale of the Amazon. Watch for the dramatic change from green land to the deep blue Caribbean near the Venezuelan coast.

Serra do Mar
Lush coastal mountain ranges and Atlantic forest immediately after departing Guarulhos.
Meeting of Waters
Possible views of the distinct dark Rio Negro waters merging with the silt-heavy Solimões near Manaus.
Guiana Shield
Ancient geological formations and remote northern wilderness areas of Brazil.
Leeward Islands
Distant glimpses of the Caribbean island chains on the eastern horizon during the final cruise leg.
Boca Chica Coast
Vibrant turquoise reefs and white sands visible during the final descent into Santo Domingo.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. If the flight path passes near Manaus, this side offers a better chance of seeing the 'Meeting of Waters.' During the approach to SDQ, look for the contrast between the deep ocean and the shallow coral reefs surrounding the island of Hispaniola.
