Which side of the plane to sit from Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (Salvador) to Vitória da Conquista Airport (Vitória Da Conquista)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Baía de Todos os Santos upon departure and the dramatic climb into the Planalto da Conquista mountains near the destination.
Baía de Todos os Santos
The largest bay in Brazil, featuring numerous islands like Itaparica and Frades visible during initial ascent.
Salvador Coastline
Clear views of the urban beaches of Pituba and the historic Farol da Barra during the takeoff roll and climb.
Recôncavo Baiano
The fertile agricultural heartland of Bahia, characterized by lush valleys and colonial-era towns.
Serra do Marçal
The rugged transition zone where the coastal plains rise sharply into the high-altitude interior plateaus.
Book a window seat on the left for morning departures to avoid the sun's glare and capture the best colors of the Atlantic coastline. During the final 15 minutes, look for the steep winding roads of the Serra do Marçal as the aircraft prepares for its approach into the plateau city.
Salvador Modern Skyline
A view of the high-rise commercial districts like Caminho das Árvores and the Tancredo Neves area.
Rio Paraguaçu
One of Bahia's most significant rivers, winding through the landscape toward the Pedra do Cavalo dam.
Sertão Transition
A visible ecological shift from tropical humid forests to the semi-arid Caatinga vegetation of the interior.
Planalto da Conquista
The high altitude plateau landscape surrounding Vitória da Conquista, often characterized by morning mist.
The right side is preferable for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Bahian hinterland. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff to spot the intricate patterns of the Paraguaçu river basin.
