Which side of the plane to sit from Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport (Natal) to Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the most iconic views of the Federal District's urban layout during descent and avoids direct glare during afternoon flights.
Seridó Rock Formations
Rugged granite peaks and 'inselbergs' rising sharply from the flat plains of the interior.
Agricultural Patterns
Perfectly geometric crop circles and massive soy plantations in the western Bahia and Goiás regions.
Brasília Pilot Plan
The world-famous airplane-shaped urban design of the capital, including the Eixo Monumental.
Lake Paranoá
The deep blue man-made lake that borders the capital city, often visible during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon travel to keep the sun behind the plane. For the best view of Brasília's iconic architecture, look out the window during the final 10 minutes of the flight as the plane aligns with the runway.
Natal Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Potengi River delta immediately after takeoff.
The Sertão
Vast stretches of the semi-arid Caatinga biome featuring unique vegetation and dry riverbeds.
Sobradinho Reservoir
A glimpse of the massive artificial lake formed by the São Francisco River in northern Bahia.
Serra Geral
The dramatic edges of the plateau systems that separate the coastal plains from the central highlands.
Select the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the coastal waters. Keep an eye out for the changing colors of the earth as you move from the sandy coast to the red clay of the interior.
