SJP → VCP
Which side of the plane to sit from Prof. Eribelto Manoel Reino State Airport (Sao Jose Do Rio Preto) to Viracopos International Airport (Campinas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the major urban clusters in the interior of São Paulo, including Araraquara and São Carlos, and provides a better perspective of the dense Campinas skyline during the approach to Viracopos.

São José do Rio Preto Cityscape
A clear view of the urban sprawl and the lake area of SJP immediately after takeoff.
Citrus and Cane Belt
A vibrant green patchwork of orange groves and sugar cane plantations that dominate the regional landscape.
Araraquara & São Carlos
View of these significant industrial and university hubs as the flight reaches cruising altitude.
Campinas Metropolitan Area
Panoramic views of the high-rises and the 'Circuito das Frutas' region during the descent.
Serra do Japi Edge
Distant views of the Atlantic Forest remnants to the south as the plane turns for the final approach.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red soil and green crops. Keep your eyes peeled about 20 minutes into the flight for the cluster of Araraquara. This side is also better for spotting the heavy traffic on the Washington Luís Highway (SP-310).

Morning flights are best for this side to avoid the harsh afternoon glare. Look out for the shimmer of the Tietê River dams in the distance. During the final approach, this side often gives a great view of the Toyota factory and the logistical warehouses that define the Campinas-Indaiatuba border.
