Which side of the plane to sit from Vitória da Conquista Airport (Vitória Da Conquista) to Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (Salvador)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial view of the Atlantic coastline, the sprawling Baía de Todos os Santos, and the iconic Salvador city skyline during the final descent.
Planalto da Conquista
The elevated plateau landscape of the southwest region of Bahia with its coffee-growing ridges.
Atlantic Ocean
The deep blue of the Atlantic becomes visible as the plane approaches the coast of the Recôncavo Baiano.
Itaparica Island
The largest island in the Bay of All Saints, featuring lush greenery surrounded by turquoise waters.
Baía de Todos os Santos
A panoramic view of Brazil's largest bay, dotted with small boats and numerous tropical islands.
Salvador Skyline
The dense urban peninsula of Salvador, featuring a mix of colonial architecture and modern high-rises.
Farol da Barra
The historic lighthouse and iconic beaches of Salvador are often visible during the final banking turns.
This is the premier side for photography. Aim for late afternoon flights to catch the sun reflecting off the bay. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the coastal entry and the city's historic peninsula.
Serra do Periperi
Rugged mountainous terrain surrounding the highlands of Vitória da Conquista immediately after takeoff.
Sertão Interior
The unique semi-arid landscape of the Bahia interior characterized by Caatinga vegetation and vast plains.
Feira de Santana
Depending on the flight corridor, a distant view of the major interior commercial hub and highway crossroads.
Paraguaçu River Basin
The winding path of the Paraguaçu river as it flows toward the coast, carving through the dry landscape.
Salvador Metro Area
A view of the northern industrial and residential suburbs as the aircraft lines up for the runway.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare. This side is ideal for geography enthusiasts who want to study the transition from the dry interior plateau to the humid coastal plains.
