LDB → CWB
Which side of the plane to sit from Governador José Richa Airport (Londrina) to Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally preferred as it offers a clearer perspective of the iconic Vila Velha rock formations near Ponta Grossa and provides a more consistent view of the Curitiba city skyline during the standard approach into Afonso Pena Airport.

Vila Velha State Park
Located near Ponta Grossa, these massive natural sandstone formations are clearly visible as the flight enters the Second Plateau.
Curitiba Metropolitan Area
The dense skyline of the state capital usually appears on the right as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach path.
São José dos Pinhais
A close-up view of the industrial and residential sectors of the city where the airport is actually located just before touchdown.
The right side is the 'money side' for spotting the Vila Velha rocks roughly 15-20 minutes before landing. In the late afternoon, this side receives the golden hour light, making it perfect for photography, though you may face some sun glare. During the descent, watch for the Barigui and Tingui parks on the city's edge.

Red Soil Plateaus

Tibagi River Valley
Watch for the winding curves of the Tibagi River, one of the most important water bodies in the state, cutting through the landscape.
Serra do Mar Horizon
On clear days during the descent, the jagged peaks of the Atlantic Forest coastal range are visible in the far distance to the east.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is also excellent for seeing the sheer scale of Londrina's urban sprawl as you depart. Keep an eye out for the transition from the rolling hills of the north to the flatter first plateau of Paraná.
