Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular coastal journey, featuring the famous Punta del Este peninsula, the massive coastal lagoons of Southern Brazil, and a stunning aerial perspective of the island of Florianopolis during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Rio de la Plata

The vast, brownish waters of the world's widest estuary as you climb out of Buenos Aires.

🏖️

Punta del Este

A clear view of the iconic Uruguayan peninsula and its famous high-rise beach skyline.

💧

Lagoa dos Patos

The immense scale of one of South America's largest lagoons, appearing like an inland sea.

🏖️

Cassino Beach

The endless stretch of sandy coastline that leads toward the Santa Catarina border.

🏝️

Ilha de Santa Catarina

A breathtaking view of the emerald hills and white sand beaches of Florianopolis during landing.

The right side is the definitive choice for maritime and coastal scenery. Watch for Punta del Este approximately 20 minutes into the flight. For the most dramatic lighting, a late afternoon flight allows the setting sun to illuminate the coastline and the turquoise waters of the Santa Catarina beaches.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Buenos Aires Suburbs

Aerial views of the northern luxury residential districts like Olivos and San Isidro shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Uruguayan Pampas

The green, rolling agricultural heartland of inland Uruguay stretching toward the horizon.

🏙️

Porto Alegre

Distances views of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul and the Guaiba River delta.

⛰️

Serra Geral Mountains

The dramatic escarpments and plateaus that define the edge of the Brazilian highlands.

🌉

Hercílio Luz Bridge

If approaching from the north, views of the historic suspension bridge connecting the mainland to the island.

The left side is best for seeing the urban sprawl of Buenos Aires upon departure. For the arrival into FLN, this side offers views of the mainland mountains. Choose a morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun which will be on the right side of the aircraft.
