The right side offers a superior vantage point of the Atlantic coastline, the ecologically significant Restinga de Jurubatiba, and the massive Lagoa Feia before the final approach into the Campos plains.
Search flights from MEA to CAW
Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the turquoise waters and the rugged shoreline of northern Rio de Janeiro.
Jurubatiba National Park
The best view of the pristine 'restinga' ecosystem, featuring a string of dark-water lagoons separated from the sea by narrow sandbars.
Lagoa Feia
One of Brazil's largest freshwater lagoons, offering an immense and mirror-like surface just before arrival.
Praia do Pecado
A bird's-eye view of Macaé's most popular surfing beach immediately after takeoff.
Offshore Supply Vessels
Spot the numerous ships servicing the Campos Basin oil platforms dotting the horizon.
The right side is best for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, perfectly illuminating the coastline. Because this is a very short, low-altitude flight, the details of the Jurubatiba lagoons are exceptionally clear. Look for the stark color contrast between the white sand and the dark, tannin-rich waters of the lagoons.

Macaé Urban Center
A clear view of the city's rapid industrial and residential expansion as the flight departs MEA.
Serra do Mar Silhouettes
On clear days, the distant blue peaks of the mountain range provide a stunning backdrop to the western horizon.
Sugar Cane Plantations
The landscape transforms into a vast patchwork of green agricultural fields characteristic of the Campos region.
BR-101 Corridor
Follow the main artery of Brazilian transport as it snakes through the lowlands toward the north.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to better see the mountain silhouettes. Keep an eye out for the transition from urban sprawl to the vast agricultural plains that define the northern Rio de Janeiro state interior.
