Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled view of the Parnaíba River winding through the landscape and provides the most dramatic perspective of the Delta do Parnaíba upon descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🛶

Parnaíba River Meanders

The massive river that serves as the natural border between Piauí and Maranhão states.

🌿

Delta do Parnaíba

The world's third largest oceanic delta, featuring a complex network of islands and mangroves.

🏜️

Dune Formations

White sand dunes beginning to appear as the flight approaches the Atlantic coast.

🦅

Ilha das Canárias

A prominent island within the delta known for its rich biodiversity and scenic channels.

🌊

Atlantic Confluence

The visual meeting point where the brown river waters merge with the deep blue ocean.

Choose the left side (Seat A) to see the Parnaíba River throughout the flight. On the descent into PHB, this side typically offers the best view of the 'open hand' shape of the Delta. Morning flights are preferred to avoid the intense sun glare reflecting off the water in the afternoon.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Teresina Skyline

The 'City of Greens' between the Poti and Parnaíba rivers seen immediately after takeoff.

🌄

Serra da Ibiapaba

Distant views of the plateau that marks the border with the state of Ceará.

📍

Lagoa do Portinho

A beautiful blue lagoon surrounded by dunes located just east of Parnaíba.

🏘️

Parnaíba Urban View

A clear aerial perspective of the historic city center and its colonial-style layout.

The right side (Seat F) is excellent for the initial climb out of Teresina and for spotting the Lagoa do Portinho during the final approach. If flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so keep the window shade partially down to manage heat and glare.
