Which side of the plane to sit from Ten. Cel. Aviador César Bombonato Airport (Uberlandia) to Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this short hop, offering the most iconic aerial view of Brasília's 'Plano Piloto' airplane-shaped layout and the expansive Lake Paranoá during the final approach.
Araguari River
Meandering river paths and hydroelectric reservoirs visible shortly after leaving the Triângulo Mineiro region.
Lake Paranoá
The massive man-made lake that defines the eastern border of the federal capital, sparkling in the sun.
Plano Piloto
The world-famous 'airplane' design of Brasília, including the Esplanade of Ministries and the Cathedral.
Mané Garrincha Stadium
The impressive circular architecture of the National Stadium is often visible during the banking turn for landing.
JK Bridge
The three asymmetrical steel arches of the Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge crossing the lake.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'Capital View.' As the plane enters the Brasília Terminal Area, it often flies south of the city before turning north to land on Runway 11, placing the entire city layout and Lake Paranoá perfectly in your window. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the architecture.
Uberlândia Skyline
Clear views of the city center and the Sabiá Park area shortly after departure from UDI.
Cerrado Plateaus
Expansive views of the high-altitude tropical savanna and large-scale agricultural patterns of Minas Gerais.
Western Horizon
Ideal for sunset views on late afternoon flights, casting long shadows over the Brazilian Highlands.
Águas Claras Skyscrapers
A dense cluster of high-rise buildings in one of Brasília's fastest-growing satellite cities during the descent.
The left side is best for evening flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the sunset. During the approach, look for the vertical growth of satellite cities like Águas Claras and Taguatinga, which contrast sharply with the flat landscape.
