UDI → RAO
Which side of the plane to sit from Ten. Cel. Aviador César Bombonato Airport (Uberlandia) to Leite Lopes Airport (Ribeirao Preto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Uberlândia's urban landscape immediately after takeoff and a more direct view of the massive Volta Grande Reservoir as you cross the Minas Gerais-São Paulo border.
Uberlândia Urban Area
Direct views of downtown Uberlândia and its residential districts shortly after departing from UDI airport.
Volta Grande Reservoir
Large, scenic water body formed by the damming of the Rio Grande, featuring numerous peninsulas and small islands.
Sugarcane Sea
The transition into the northern São Paulo landscape, characterized by vast, undulating emerald-green sugarcane plantations.
Ribeirão Preto Approach
Bird's-eye view of the northern industrial and suburban expansion of Ribeirão Preto during the final descent.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the sugarcane fields. It provides a better angle for the Volta Grande Dam. During the dry season (June to September), look for the distinct harvesting patterns in the fields below.
Uberaba Cityscape
Visibility of the nearby city of Uberaba, known as the Zebu cattle capital, situated to the southeast of the flight path.
Cerrado Agriculture
Expansive views of the high-altitude plateaus of the Triângulo Mineiro, dominated by soy and corn plantations.
Rio Grande Crossing
A clear view of the winding Rio Grande, which serves as the natural border between the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo.
Interior SP Infrastructure
Aerial perspective of the Anhanguera Highway (SP-330), one of Brazil's most important transport corridors.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the dense urban cluster of Uberaba about 15 minutes into the flight. Keep an eye out for the distinct red soil characteristic of the region.
