Which side of the plane to sit from Lauro Kurtz Airport (Passo Fundo) to Salgado Filho Airport (Porto Alegre)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views as the flight transitions from the rolling plateaus of northern Rio Grande do Sul toward the spectacular Guaíba Delta and the Porto Alegre city skyline.
Serra Gaúcha Edge
Distant views of the eastern escarpment where the plateau drops off toward the Atlantic forest.
Porto Alegre Waterfront
A panoramic view of the downtown skyline and the revitalized Usina do Gasômetro area during the final approach.
Arena do Grêmio
The massive blue structure of the modern football stadium is clearly visible just moments before touchdown at Salgado Filho.
Guaíba Delta Islands
A stunning aerial view of the network of islands and channels where the Jacuí, Sinos, and Gravataí rivers converge.
This is the premier side for photography. During sunset flights, the Guaíba river turns golden. Request a seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Guaíba Delta islands and the city skyline during the descent into Runway 11.
Planalto Médio Farmland
Expansive vistas of Rio Grande do Sul's agricultural core, featuring geometric patterns of soybean and wheat crops.
Jacuí River Basin
Meandering river paths and wetlands that define the central depression between the highlands and the coast.
Pampa Foothills
The gradual shift in terrain from the high volcanic plateau to the lower, flatter grasslands of the southern state.
Sit on this side for soft lighting during morning flights. Keep an eye out for small irrigation dams scattered across the countryside, which glow brilliantly under the sun's reflection.
