Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most iconic views of the transition from the Triângulo Mineiro to the heart of São Paulo state, including the best angles for the urban layout of Ribeirão Preto and the rolling hills near Campinas.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Uberaba Skyline

A full view of the city of Uberaba immediately after takeoff as the plane turns south.

🌊

Rio Grande Crossing

The natural border between Minas Gerais and São Paulo states, featuring expansive river views.

🏢

Ribeirão Preto Hub

Excellent views of the densely packed high-rises and the 'California of Brazil' urban sprawl.

🌾

Sugarcane Carpets

Vast, geometric agricultural patterns of sugarcane plantations that define the landscape of the SP interior.

⛰️

Serra do Japi

Distant views of the Atlantic Forest remnants that mark the entrance into the Campinas metropolitan area.

Opt for a window seat on the left for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the Minas highlands. This side usually offers a more direct view of the major cities along the Anhanguera highway corridor during the cruise phase.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🚜

Agribusiness Vistas

Wide-angle perspectives of the red-soil farms and machinery active in the fields.

💧

Volta Grande Reservoir

Distant shimmering views of the dam systems along the Grande and Pardo rivers.

🏭

Logistics Corridor

The industrial clusters around Limeira and Americana as the aircraft aligns for final approach.

🌅

Interior Sunsets

Uninterrupted views of the sunset over the western horizon during late afternoon departures.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. During the descent into Viracopos (VCP), the right side often provides a better perspective of the massive cargo terminals and the industrial heart of Hortolândia.
