Which side of the plane to sit from Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania) to Tancredo Neves International Airport (Belo Horizonte)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the massive Corumbá reservoir system and a more dramatic transition into the rugged hilly terrain of Minas Gerais.
Corumbá Reservoir
Large, intricate blue waterways created by the hydroelectric dams along the Corumbá River near the border.
Rio Paranaíba
The winding river that marks the natural border between the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais.
Minas Highlands
The landscape shifts from flat plains to the undulating hills and traditional cattle ranches of the Triângulo Mineiro.
BH Skyline
Distant views of the dense skyline of Belo Horizonte and the Contagem industrial hub depending on the landing pattern.
The right side is ideal for spotting the massive water bodies of the Corumbá system. For evening flights, you may catch a sunset over the rolling hills of Minas. Try to secure a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the reservoirs.
Goiânia Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the planned city layout and the green patches of the 'Garden City' shortly after takeoff.
Cerrado Mosaics
Expansive agricultural patterns and indigenous Cerrado vegetation characteristic of the Central-West region.
Serra do Espinhaço
The northern edges of this ancient mountain range become visible during the final descent into the Belo Horizonte area.
Vespasiano Views
The northern residential sectors of the metropolitan area as the aircraft aligns for the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side provides a better perspective of the vast northern plains of Minas Gerais and the distinct silhouette of the Espinhaço mountains during the late stages of flight.
