GYN → GRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania) to Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic transition from the Cerrado plains to the rugged Serra da Cantareira and the overwhelming urban density of the São Paulo metropolitan area, especially during the final approach.
Search flights from GYN to GRU
Rio Paranaíba
Meandering river paths that define the border between the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais, surrounded by diverse vegetation.
Ribeirão Preto
One of Brazil's wealthiest interior cities, visible as a significant urban cluster surrounded by vast sugar cane plantations.
Serra da Cantareira
One of the world's largest urban forests, providing a lush green mountain barrier just north of the São Paulo sprawl.
Metropolitan Sprawl
The breathtaking and slightly overwhelming sight of São Paulo's endless skyscrapers stretching to the horizon.
Interior Sunsets
Spectacular orange and purple horizons during late afternoon flights over the flat countryside of São Paulo state.
Choose the right side for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. As you approach Guarulhos, the right side often provides a superior perspective of the 'concrete jungle' and the transition from the green Cantareira mountains to the urban density. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Rio Grande border.

Clear views of the city's unique circular central layout and Art Deco architecture right after takeoff.
Itumbiara Dam
A massive hydroelectric reservoir on the Paranaíba River with striking blue-green water and geometric patterns.
Mineiro Agribusiness
Expansive, geometric crop fields of the Triângulo Mineiro region, which change from deep red soil to lush green seasonally.
Guarulhos Outskirts
The dense urban fabric of the city of Guarulhos appearing through the clouds during final descent into GRU.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. This side is typically better for spotting the large reservoirs near the border of Goiás and Minas Gerais. During winter (June-August), expect clearer skies but drier, browner landscapes.
