Which side of the plane to sit from Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (Salvador) to Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport (Vitoria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a continuous panorama of the Brazilian coastline, featuring the historic Discovery Coast, lush rainforest preserves, and the rugged hills of Espírito Santo.
Salvador Skyline
Aerial view of the 'Cidade Alta' and the Elevador Lacerda immediately after takeoff.
Morro de São Paulo
Clear views of the sandy beaches and turquoise waters of Tinharé Island.
Porto Seguro
The historic landing site of Pedro Álvares Cabral with its distinct coastal reefs.
Monte Pascoal
The iconic conical mountain that was the first piece of land spotted by Portuguese explorers.
Linhares Lagoons
A vast network of freshwater lakes, including Lagoa Juparanã, visible just north of Vitoria.
Convento da Penha
The historic monastery perched on a high rock as you approach Vitoria's urban core.
The right side is superior for geography lovers. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. Mid-afternoon flights provide the best lighting, illuminating the red cliffs and green forests of the coast without the harsh glare of the sun.
Atlantic Ocean
Unobstructed views of the deep blue South Atlantic stretching toward the horizon.
Abrolhos Bank
If the flight path trends offshore, you may spot the turquoise waters of this coral reef sanctuary.
Vitoria Anchorage
Dozens of massive cargo ships waiting to enter the Port of Tubarão during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to experience a spectacular sunrise over the ocean. It is also the better side for viewing the port infrastructure and the Ilha do Boi area during certain landing patterns at VIX.
