Which side of the plane to sit from Prefeito Doutor João Silva Filho Airport (Parnaiba) to Senador Petrônio Portela Airport (Teresina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the winding Parnaíba River, which serves as the natural border between the states of Piauí and Maranhão throughout the entire flight.
Delta do Parnaíba
The third-largest oceanic delta in the world, featuring a complex network of islands and mangroves during departure.
Parnaíba River Meanders
Continuous views of the river's serpentine path, which acts as the border between Piauí and Maranhão.
Maranhão Hinterland
Views across the border into the vast agricultural and rural landscapes of eastern Maranhão state.
Encontro das Águas
The famous confluence where the Poti and Parnaíba rivers meet, encircling the Teresina peninsula.
The right side is superior for river views. Request a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the 'Encontro das Águas' upon arrival in Teresina. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the river delta perfectly.
Lagoa do Portinho
A stunning blue lagoon surrounded by white dunes located just southeast of Parnaíba city.
Parnaíba Urban Center
Aerial perspective of the historic city layout and the industrial zones near the coast.
Piauí Caatinga
The unique scrubland vegetation of the Brazilian Northeast, transitioning into Cerrado as you move south.
Poti River
The secondary river of Teresina, visible as the plane maneuvers for its final approach into the city.
Sit on the left if you want to see the city of Parnaíba immediately after takeoff. This side is also better during the afternoon to avoid the direct sun glare coming from the west, making it easier to spot the Poti River during the landing sequence in Teresina.
