AEPFMA

Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires) to Formosa Airport (Formosa)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Buenos Aires urban landscape upon departure and follows the intricate, winding path of the Paraná River for most of the journey.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

Unbeatable views of the downtown skyscrapers, the Obelisco, and the Puerto Madero district immediately after takeoff from AEP.

🌿

Paraná Delta

A bird's-eye view of the complex network of islands, channels, and subtropical vegetation where the river meets the Rio de la Plata.

🌊

Paraná River Course

Observe the massive scale of the Paraná River, one of the world's longest, featuring sandbanks and sediment-heavy water.

🚜

Pampas Farmland

Symmetry of the Argentine agricultural heartland with its vast soy and corn fields stretching toward the horizon.

🐊

Chaco Humid Wetlands

As you descend into Formosa, look for the unique 'esteros' and palm-filled savannahs characteristic of the region.

Sit on the left for the best departure views of the city. If flying in the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or keep the window shade partially down to avoid glare while looking at the river.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌅

Rio de la Plata

View the 'River of Silver', looking across toward the Uruguayan coastline and the brown silt-filled waters of the estuary.

🏘️

Colonia del Sacramento

On clear days, you can spot the historic Uruguayan town across the water shortly after takeoff.

💧

Esteros del Iberá Edge

Distant views of the vast marshlands of Corrientes Province, showing deep blue water pockets amidst dense green vegetation.

🛶

Paraguay River

On the final approach to Formosa, the right side views the meandering Paraguay River which forms the international border.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a better perspective of the border areas and the vastness of the Mesopotamian region of Argentina.
