Which side of the plane to sit from Salgado Filho Airport (Porto Alegre) to Governador José Richa Airport (Londrina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the dramatic Aparados da Serra canyons shortly after departure, along with better perspectives of the Serra Geral mountain range throughout the flight.
Lagoa dos Patos
Glimpses of the massive lagoon system to the east during the initial climb out of Porto Alegre.
Aparados da Serra Canyons
Breathtaking views of the vertical cliffs of Itaimbezinho and Fortaleza canyons approximately 15 minutes after takeoff.
Araucária Forests
Clusters of the iconic and endangered Brazilian Pine trees scattered across the southern highlands.
Londrina Urban View
Excellent perspective of Londrina's dense high-rise skyline and the Tibagi River on the final approach.
Sit on the right side for the best lighting during morning flights. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the canyons. Check the weather forecast; clear skies are essential for seeing the canyon depths.
Porto Alegre Cityscape
Aerial view of the city's urban sprawl and the complex waterways of the Guaíba Delta upon takeoff.
Serra Gaúcha Interior
Rolling hills and high-altitude plateaus of the wine region and the interior of Rio Grande do Sul.
Paraná Basin Agriculture
Vast agricultural landscapes featuring the distinctive 'Terra Roxa' (red soil) typical of northern Paraná.
Select this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy sunset views over the interior of the continent. It provides a great view of the Guaíba river system if the departure is toward the north.
