Which side of the plane to sit from Zumbi dos Palmares Airport (Maceio) to Viracopos International Airport (Campinas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a stunning panoramic view of the Alagoas coastline immediately upon departure, followed by the lush greenery of the Serra do Mar and the industrial landscapes of the Paraíba Valley during descent.
Maceió Coral Reefs
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and natural pools of Pajuçara and Ponta Verde right after takeoff.
Bahian Coastline
Vast stretches of coconut groves and white sand beaches along the northern coast of Bahia.
Salvador & All Saints Bay
A distant but clear view of the historic capital of Bahia and its expansive bay if the flight path stays coastal.
Serra do Mar
Dramatic views of the Atlantic Forest-covered mountain ranges as you cross into the Southeast region.
Paraíba Valley
Aerial perspective of major industrial cities like São José dos Campos during the initial descent phase.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left to capture the vibrant blues of the Alagoas sea. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which might cause glare, so afternoon flights are preferred for photography. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight for the best reef views.
Sertão Transition
Observe the changing landscape from the green coast to the semi-arid interior of the Northeast.
Serra do Espinhaço
Rugged geological formations and mountain ridges through the heart of Minas Gerais state.
Minas Reservoirs
Large hydroelectric dams and reservoirs like Três Marias appearing as shimmering blue patches in the interior.
São Paulo Heartland
Extensive sugarcane and orange plantations that define the landscape of the Campinas region.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Brazilian interior. This side offers a better view of the mountainous terrain of Minas Gerais and the vastness of the São Paulo agricultural plateau. It is generally cooler and less bright during morning flights.
