Which side of the plane to sit from Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport (Ilheus) to Tancredo Neves International Airport (Belo Horizonte)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer unique views, the Right Side is superior for seeing the historic center of Ilhéus upon departure and provides the most dramatic views of the Espinhaço mountain range and Serra do Cipó during the descent into Belo Horizonte.

Historic Ilhéus
Views of the São Sebastião Cathedral and the busy port area immediately after takeoff.
Cocoa Plantations
The dense, dark green canopy of the 'Mata Atlântica' where the region's famous cocoa is grown.
Serra do Cipó
Stunning quartzite rock formations and rugged peaks of the Espinhaço range during the descent.
Lagoa Santa
The picturesque lake and surrounding suburban landscape just minutes before landing at CNF.
The right side is the 'mountain side'. For the best experience, keep your window shade up as you enter Minas Gerais airspace to see the transition from forest to rocky highlands. This side is particularly spectacular during sunset flights as the light hits the cliffs of the Espinhaço mountains.

Atlantic Coastline
Expansive views of the deep blue South Atlantic ocean during the initial climb out of Bahia.
Praia do Sul
Bird's-eye view of the long, palm-lined beaches stretching south from Ilhéus towards Olivença.
Rio Jequitinhonha
The winding path of one of Brazil's major rivers as it cuts through the dry landscape of northern Minas Gerais.
Coastal Banking
Dramatic views of the shoreline if the aircraft performs a standard southern departure turn.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It is the best side for ocean lovers during the first 15 minutes of the flight. Watch for the change in soil color from coastal reds to the dusty browns of the Jequitinhonha Valley.
