Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the massive Palmas Reservoir during departure and better lighting for morning flights while traversing the Cerrado heartland.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Palmas Reservoir

The immense blue expanse of the Tocantins River dammed by the Lajeado Hydroelectric Plant.

🌉

Ponte da Amizade

The impressive 8-kilometer long bridge connecting Palmas to the district of Luzimangues.

🚜

Agro-Industrial Hubs

Expansive views of the 'Matopiba' agricultural frontier with massive circular irrigation patterns.

🛩️

Anápolis Air Base

A glimpse of Brazil's strategic military airfield and its interceptor jets during the final approach phase.

The right side is ideal for morning flights (sun is in the East/Left). During takeoff from PMW, look for the 'Ilha da Canela' in the middle of the lake. During the descent into GYN, this side often provides a better perspective of the approach path over the Goiânia metropolitan area.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Palmas Urban Grid

A clear view of the planned capital's unique symmetrical layout and the massive Praça dos Girassóis.

⛰️

Serra do Lajeado

The dramatic cliffs and environmental protection area that border the city to the east.

🏞️

Chapada dos Veadeiros

On clear days, the distant high plateaus of this ancient national park can be spotted on the eastern horizon.

🏢

Goiânia Skyline

The dense high-rise architecture of the Setor Bueno and Marista districts as the plane enters the terminal area.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Tocantins River. Keep an eye out for the transition from the red earth of Tocantins to the more varied topography of northern Goiás.
