Spectacular views of the northern Alpine rim shortly after departure from Munich.
Southern France
Glances of the Rhone Valley and the Cote d'Azur depending on the specific flight path.
Atlantic Sunrise
A vibrant sunrise over the open ocean as the plane crosses the equator.
Northeast Brazil
Crystal clear views of the turquoise waters and white sand dunes near Recife and Maceio.
Salvador Coastline
The historic All Saints Bay and the urban landscape of Salvador from high altitude.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the Alpine peaks or the Brazilian coast. Since this is usually an overnight flight, the sunrise occurs approximately 3-4 hours before arrival at GRU. During the final descent, the left side often provides a better view of the coastal mountain ranges and the Atlantic forest.

The right side is ideal for sunset lovers, as you will see the sun dip below the horizon over the Atlantic early in the flight. On the approach to Sao Paulo, this side offers views of the sprawling interior suburbs and the hilly terrain of the Serra da Mantiqueira. It is generally quieter for sleeping as it faces away from the morning sun.
