Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Salvador to Sao Paulo. While takeoff offers coastal bay views on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and sustained scenery—the Serra da Mantiqueira and the vast São Paulo metropolitan landscape create a more visually rewarding final descent than the initial climb-out.

During takeoff from Deputado Luis Eduardo Magalhaes (SSA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Recôncavo Baiano region and the approach to the Atlantic coast as the aircraft climbs southwestward. You'll see the coastal plain and bay geography that defines Salvador's setting. Notable sights include: Baía de Todos os Santos (All Saints Bay), the coastal lowlands of Recôncavo Baiano, Atlantic Ocean horizon, Salvador city grid receding below.

When landing at Congonhas (CGH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach to Congonhas. You'll see the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range to the left and the urban sprawl of São Paulo's southern districts as you descend toward the airport. Notable sights include: Serra da Mantiqueira (distant peaks on the horizon), São Paulo metropolitan area sprawl, Pinheiros River valley, Congonhas Airport approach corridor.

The flight from Deputado Luis Eduardo Magalhaes (SSA) to Congonhas (CGH) takes 2h 15m.

The flight path crosses inland from Salvador's coastal region into the interior plateau of Bahia and Minas Gerais. Notable features include the transition from coastal lowlands to the Brazilian Shield's elevated terrain, the Recôncavo region's agricultural landscape, and the approach to the Atlantic Forest transition zone as the aircraft moves south toward São Paulo. The Paraíba do Sul River valley becomes visible during the descent phase as the aircraft approaches the São Paulo plateau.
