Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Sao Paulo to Asuncion. Right-side seats offer superior views on both takeoff (Tietê River and Serra da Cantareira) and provide better sightlines during the cruise phase over central São Paulo state. While landing favors the left, the takeoff experience is more visually rewarding.

During takeoff from Guarulhos (GRU), sit on the Right side for the best views. GRU typically departs runways 09L/09R (eastbound) or 27L/27R (westbound). Right-side seats on eastbound departures offer views of the Tietê River and São Paulo's urban sprawl expanding eastward. Westbound departures from right seats show the Serra da Cantareira ridge receding to the north. Notable sights include: Tietê River (major waterway threading through São Paulo), Serra da Cantareira (mountain ridge north of airport), Guarulhos urban district, Paraíba do Sul River valley (distant, southeastern horizon).

When landing at Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching GRU from the west (typical for flights from Asunción), left-side seats on final approach show the Paraíba do Sul River valley and the approach path over the plateau. Left seats also capture views of the Serra da Mantiqueira in the distance and the descent into the São Paulo basin. Notable sights include: Paraíba do Sul River valley (major drainage system), Serra da Mantiqueira (distant mountain range to the south), São Paulo plateau terrain, Guarulhos approach corridor.

The flight from Guarulhos (GRU) to Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the São Paulo plateau at 25,000-30,000 feet, passing over the Paraíba do Sul River valley and its tributaries. The terrain transitions from dense urban/suburban landscape near São Paulo to agricultural land and scattered towns (Sorocaba region visible to the south). The Paraná River basin becomes visible as the aircraft approaches Asunción, with the Paraguay River appearing as a major waterway defining the approach corridor. No major mountain ranges block the route, but the Serra da Mantiqueira remains visible to the south throughout much of the flight.
