Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Ten. Cel. Aviador César Bombonato Airport (Uberlandia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling Campinas metropolitan area upon takeoff and provides a more dramatic angle of the Rio Grande crossing and the plateau transitions into Minas Gerais.
Campinas Skyline
Panoramic views of the high-rises in downtown Campinas and the UNICAMP campus shortly after departure.
Rodovia dos Bandeirantes
Watch the geometric precision of one of Brazil's most modern highways stretching toward the horizon.
Sugarcane Mosaic
Vast, emerald-green sugarcane plantations creating a patchwork quilt effect across the São Paulo countryside.
Rio Grande Border
A stunning crossing of the wide Rio Grande, which serves as the natural border between São Paulo and Minas Gerais states.
Triângulo Mineiro Plateaus
The landscape shifts into the characteristic high plateaus (chapadas) as you enter the Minas Gerais territory.
Book a window seat in the front or middle to avoid the wing obscuring the Rio Grande crossing. On morning flights, the left side is shaded, offering better visibility and easier photography without the sun's glare. Keep an eye out for the Jaguari River reservoirs during the initial climb.
Paulínia Industrial Hub
View the massive REPLAN refinery and the chemical complexes that form one of Latin America's largest industrial poles.
Ribeirão Preto Outskirts
Depending on the flight path, you may see the distant urban sprawl of the 'California Brasileira' to the west.
Volta Grande Dam
The massive reservoir and hydroelectric infrastructure visible on the Rio Grande near the border.
Agribusiness Heartland
Dense clusters of silos and modern farm complexes typical of the highly productive Uberaba and Uberlândia region.
Uberlândia Approach
Aerial view of the eastern residential districts and industrial parks of Uberlândia during the descent.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the interior of Brazil. Watch for the distinct red soil (Terra Roxa) patterns, which are particularly vibrant from this side when the sun is low. During descent into UDI, look for the BR-050 highway guiding the plane toward the city.
