Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Brazilian coastline and the transition from the turquoise Atlantic waters to the lush coastal plains before turning inland toward the Borborema Plateau.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Costa dos Coqueiros

Stunning views of the endless palm-lined beaches north of Salvador, including Praia do Forte.

🌊

São Francisco River Mouth

The massive 'Old Chico' river meeting the Atlantic Ocean at the border of Sergipe and Alagoas.

🏙️

Aracaju Skyline

A clear view of the Sergipe state capital and its unique urban grid along the Sergipe River.

🪸

Maceió Barrier Reefs

Visualizing the distinct turquoise pools and natural reefs that define the Alagoas coastline.

☁️

Coastal Orla

The dense urban development of coastal Pernambuco before the flight path veers westward toward the interior.

The right side is premier for morning flights, capturing the early sunlight hitting the ocean. To best see the São Francisco River, keep your eyes peeled approximately 30-40 minutes into the flight. Note that clouds often build up near the coast in the afternoon, potentially obscuring the beach views.

Left Side Highlights
6.4
🏘️

Recôncavo Baiano

Aerial view of the historical towns and fertile lands surrounding the Bay of All Saints shortly after takeoff.

🌵

Agreste Transition

Observe the changing vegetation from tropical greenery to the semi-arid Caatinga landscape of the interior.

⛰️

Serra da Borborema

Dramatic views of the rising plateau slopes as the aircraft prepares for its final approach into Campina Grande.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side provides a better look at the industrial clusters of Camaçari and the rural expanses of the Pernambuco and Paraíba hinterlands.
