Which side of the plane to sit from Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (Salvador) to Viracopos International Airport (Campinas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Bahia coastline and the majestic Serra da Mantiqueira mountains during the descent into the São Paulo interior.
Baía de Todos os Santos
Panoramic views of the vast bay and Salvador's island chains immediately after departure.
Costa do Dendê
Clear views of the white sands and turquoise waters of Morro de São Paulo and Boipeba.
Atlantic Horizon
The deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the rugged coastline of southern Bahia.
Serra da Mantiqueira
Dramatic mountain ridges and high-altitude forests as the flight crosses into São Paulo state.
São Paulo Interior
The dense urban clusters of Jundiaí and the surrounding valley during the final approach.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing on morning flights. The sun rises over the ocean, perfectly illuminating the coastline without creating glare on your window. Watch for the transition from the tropical coast to the cooler, mountainous terrain of the south.
Salvador Skyline
A full view of the city's Upper and Lower towns and the historic Farol da Barra lighthouse.
Sertão Landscapes
The unique semi-arid vegetation and river basins of the Bahia interior.
Serra do Espinhaço
Views of the ancient rock formations that comprise the 'backbone' of Brazil's mining region.
Agribusiness Hubs
Geometric patterns of massive sugar cane and citrus plantations in the São Paulo countryside.
VCP Approach
A close-up view of the Viracopos logistics hub and the city of Campinas during the landing pattern.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it stays in the shade while the sun sets to the west. It provides a more industrial and geographical perspective of Brazil's interior. Keep an eye out for the large reservoirs and dams scattered throughout the Minas Gerais and São Paulo border.
