Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Belo Horizonte to Sao Paulo. While the takeoff offers good mountain scenery on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more continuous and varied geography—the Paraíba do Sul River valley and approach to São Paulo's basin are more visually engaging than the initial climb-out. Left seats capture the more dramatic final descent.

During takeoff from Tancredo Neves (CNF), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Serra da Moeda and the broader Espinhaço Range as the aircraft climbs southwestward from Belo Horizonte. These quartzite ridges are visually distinctive and form the immediate terrain south of the airport. Notable sights include: Serra da Moeda (quartzite ridge, ~15 km south), Espinhaço Range (mountain chain extending southwest), Belo Horizonte urban sprawl (receding northward), Rio das Velhas valley (visible as terrain depression to the east).

When landing at Guarulhos (GRU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Paraíba do Sul River valley and the Serra da Mantiqueira as the aircraft descends toward Guarulhos from the northwest. These features mark the approach corridor and offer clear geographic reference points during final descent. Notable sights include: Paraíba do Sul River (major river valley, visible as a linear feature), Serra da Mantiqueira (mountain range to the east), São Paulo metropolitan sprawl (expanding urban area), Cantareira Mountains (northern approach to São Paulo basin).

The flight from Tancredo Neves (CNF) to Guarulhos (GRU) takes 1h 15m.

Rio Doce valley (running roughly parallel to flight path in central Minas Gerais), transition from Espinhaço Range foothills to Atlantic Forest plateau, scattered reservoirs and agricultural areas in the São Paulo interior, gradual descent into the Paraíba do Sul basin as the aircraft approaches the coastal plateau
