VCP → VIX
Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport (Vitoria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Brazilian coastline, including the turquoise lagoons of the Região dos Lagos and a breathtaking aerial approach over Vitória's iconic landmarks and beaches.
Atlantic Coastline
Stunning vistas of the blue ocean contrasting with the white sand beaches of the Rio de Janeiro state coast.
Região dos Lagos
The massive Araruama Lagoon and the famous turquoise waters surrounding Cabo Frio and Búzios.
Terceira Ponte
The iconic bridge connecting Vitória and Vila Velha, visible during the final descent into VIX.
Convento da Penha
The historic convent perched atop a high cliff in Vila Velha is a highlight of the landing sequence.
Praia de Camburi
Vitória's main urban beach provides a scenic backdrop as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
The right side is essential for the scenic approach into Vitória. Try to book a window seat away from the wing (rows 1-8 or 20+) to ensure an unobstructed view of the Convento da Penha and the bay. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for coastal photography.
Serra da Mantiqueira
The rugged peaks and deep valleys of the mountain range that separates São Paulo from Minas Gerais.
Paraíba Valley
Views of the industrial and urban centers such as São José dos Campos stretching along the Dutra highway.
Interior Highlands
Rolling green hills and coffee plantations characteristic of the border region between Rio and Minas Gerais.
Pico da Bandeira
On clear days, one of Brazil's highest points may be visible in the distance near the ES/MG border.
Sit on the left if you prefer mountainous landscapes over water. Best viewed during morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the valleys and peaks with clear, crisp light.
