Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior scenic experience, showcasing the stunning contrast between the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline of Southern Brazil.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Navegantes & Penha

Immediate views of the sandy beaches and the colorful Beto Carrero World theme park after takeoff.

🌊

Babitonga Bay

The large, intricate bay system near Joinville and the historic town of São Francisco do Sul.

🏝️

Ilha do Mel

The distinctive 'Honey Island' located at the entrance of Paranaguá Bay.

🚢

Port of Santos

One of the world's busiest ports and the long, iconic beachfront of Santos and Guarujá.

🟦

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue ocean and several small coastal islands along the flight path.

Select an 'F' or 'K' seat for coastal vistas. Morning flights are highly recommended as the sun rises over the Atlantic, illuminating the shoreline. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff to spot the large monuments of the nearby theme parks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Serra do Mar Range

Continuous views of the lush, forested mountain range that runs parallel to the coastline.

🌳

Itajaí Valley

Verdant landscapes and winding rivers visible shortly after departure from Navegantes.

🏙️

São Paulo Skyline

As you approach GRU, the vast urban expanse of South America's largest city unfolds.

🌲

Cantareira State Park

The dense 'green lungs' of São Paulo visible during the final descent into the airport.

Ideal for viewing the dense Atlantic Forest. Choose a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for these views. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular golden hour lighting over the mountains, though morning flights may experience glare.
