Which side of the plane to sit from Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport (Palmas) to Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the Tocantins River upon departure and the iconic airplane-shaped urban layout of Brasilia during the final approach.
Lajeado Reservoir
A stunning aerial view of the massive blue reservoir formed by the Tocantins River dam.
Palmas Skyline
View the wide avenues and organized blocks of Brazil's newest state capital immediately after takeoff.
Agricultural Grids
Massive, perfectly geometric crop circles and soy plantations spanning the Goiás highlands.
Plano Piloto
The world-renowned 'airplane' shape of Brasília’s urban design visible during the descent.
Esplanada dos Ministérios
Iconic Oscar Niemeyer architecture and the National Congress building visible on the final approach vector.
The right side is essential for seeing the architectural layout of Brasília. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the Plano Piloto. Afternoon flights on this side offer spectacular sunset views over the Central Plateau.
Serra do Lajeado
Dramatic sandstone plateaus and cliffs that define the eastern horizon of Palmas.
Cerrado Heartland
The vast, golden-green mosaic of the Brazilian savanna, featuring unique twisted vegetation.
Rio Paranã
Meandering river paths that carve through the rugged terrain of the Goiás state border.
Lago Paranoá
A glimpse of the massive artificial lake surrounding the eastern part of the Federal District.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated plateaus of Lajeado without direct sun glare. During the wet season (October-March), this side offers better views of the massive thunderheads typical of the central plateau.
