Saona Island
View the white sand beaches and coral reefs of this protected island off the southeastern tip of the Dominican Republic shortly after takeoff.
Amazon River Delta
Witness the immense scale of the Amazon as it meets the Atlantic, often showing a distinct line between brown river water and blue ocean.
Northeastern Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged Brazilian coastline and the expansive river systems of the Pará and Maranhão states.
Serra do Mar
Dramatic views of the coastal mountain range covered in Atlantic Forest as the plane descends toward the São Paulo plateau.
Book an 'A' seat for the best perspective. On overnight flights, this side offers a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. For the clearest views of the Amazon delta, look out roughly 4 hours into the flight; early morning transits are best before tropical clouds build up in the afternoon.

Santo Domingo Skyline
A great view of the Dominican capital's urban density and the Caribbean coastline immediately after departing Las Américas.
Amazon Rainforest Interior
Endless miles of deep green canopy bisected by winding, snake-like tributaries deep within the Brazilian interior.
Tocantins River
Aerial views of the massive Tocantins-Araguaia basin, showing the contrast between the water and the surrounding Cerrado vegetation.
São Paulo Megalopolis
A breathtaking view of the world's 4th largest city's skyline and endless sea of skyscrapers during the final approach into GRU.
Sit in a 'K' or 'F' seat to maximize views of the rainforest interior. This side is typically better for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon. Be aware that the Amazon canopy can be obscured by convective clouds later in the day, so keep your window shade open during the mid-flight segment.
