Which side of the plane to sit from Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport (Vitoria) to Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior visual transition from the Atlantic coastline of Vitoria to the iconic Paranoá Lake in Brasilia, with better lighting conditions during afternoon flights.

Vitoria Shoreline
Immediate views of Praia de Camburi and the urban sprawl of the seaside capital upon takeoff.
Serra do Mar
The rugged, lush green ascent from the coastal lowlands into the highlands of Minas Gerais.
Rio Doce Basin
Aerial views of the winding river system that carves through the landscape of the interior.
Cerrado Plateau
The dramatic change in vegetation and the characteristic red soil of the Brazilian Central Plateau.
Paranoá Lake
The sprawling artificial lake that defines the borders of the Federal District during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent into BSB, keep your eyes peeled for the Digital Tower (Torre Digital) and the Ermida Dom Bosco on the shores of the lake. This side is typically better for viewing the sunset if flying in the late afternoon.

Pico da Bandeira
On very clear days, the distant silhouette of the third highest point in Brazil can be seen to the north.
Serra do Espinhaço
Ancient, rocky mountain ranges that provide a dramatic textured appearance to the terrain.
Agro-industrial Mosaic
Large-scale circular irrigation patterns and vast agricultural fields typical of the Goiás region.
Brasilia Plano Piloto
The world-famous 'airplane' layout of the city is often visible on the right when landing from the south.
The right side is essential if you want to see the specific urban geometry of Brasilia's Plano Piloto. If the plane lands on Runway 11, this side offers a direct look at the Esplanada dos Ministérios. Watch for the industrial ports of Vitoria within the first 5 minutes of flight.
