GYN → BSB
Which side of the plane to sit from Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania) to Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side typically provides the most iconic view of Brasilia's 'Airplane' urban design (Plano Piloto) and the North Wing as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at BSB.
Goiânia Skyline
Aerial view of the northern sectors of Goiânia immediately after takeoff from Santa Genoveva.
Cerrado Biome
Vast stretches of the Brazilian savanna characterized by twisted trees and unique vegetation patterns.
Plano Piloto
The world-famous urban layout of Brasília, clearly visible in its shape of an airplane.
Esplanada dos Ministérios
A top-down view of the iconic Oscar Niemeyer-designed government buildings during final descent.
Lake Paranoá (North)
The expansive blue waters of the artificial lake bordering the city's residential North Wing.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the 'Asa Norte' and the central axis. On morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the architecture. Since this flight is extremely short (approx. 30-40 mins), stay alert from the moment the 10,000ft chime sounds.
BR-060 Highway
The major transport artery connecting Goiânia and Brasília, cutting through the red earth of the plateau.
Anápolis Air Base
A glimpse of the strategic ALA 2 military facility, home to Brazil's Gripen and KC-390 fleet.
JK Bridge
The stunning triple-arch Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge spanning across the southern portion of Lake Paranoá.
Asa Sul
Views of the organized residential 'superquadras' of the South Wing and the suburban Lago Sul area.
The right side is ideal for spotting the JK Bridge and the southern residential areas. In late afternoon, this side offers spectacular views of the sunset over the Planalto Central. If the flight approaches from the south, you may get a closer look at the botanical gardens and the TV Tower (Digital).
