AEP β MVD
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires) to Carrasco International /General C L Berisso Airport (Montevideo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the northern Buenos Aires suburbs and the Tigre Delta upon departure, followed by a stunning panoramic approach over the Montevideo bay and the city skyline.
Northern Buenos Aires
Clear views of the Palermo parks, the Monumental Stadium, and the high-rise residential towers of Belgrano.
Tigre Delta
The intricate maze of sediment-rich islands and narrow waterways where the ParanΓ‘ River meets the estuary.
Cerro de Montevideo
The historic hill and fortress that gives the city its name, visible on the western side of the bay during descent.
Montevideo Skyline
A great perspective of the Torre Antel and the colonial architecture of the Ciudad Vieja (Old Town).
La Rambla
The iconic 22-kilometer coastal promenade that hugs the Uruguayan coastline as the plane lines up for landing.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Montevideo waterfront during the final approach. This flight is extremely short (approx. 30-45 minutes), so keep your window shade up from the moment of takeoff. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Argentine side, while sunset flights provide a beautiful glow over the Uruguayan coast.
Puerto Madero
The refurbished docklands and modern skyscrapers of Buenos Aires' most exclusive district immediately after takeoff.
Microcentro
A dense view of the Casa Rosada and the historic core of Argentina's capital city.
Rio de la Plata
The vast, muddy expanse of the world's widest river, often dotted with cargo ships and Buquebus ferries.
Port of Buenos Aires
A bird's-eye view of the massive container terminals and logistics hubs of the Southern Cone.
Carrasco Suburbs
The lush, green residential neighborhoods surrounding MVD airport, showing the transition from city to coast.
The right side is superior for seeing the iconic Buenos Aires skyline and Puerto Madero during the initial climb. Because the flight path stays mostly over water, focus on the windows immediately during the first and last 10 minutes. If the flight arrives from the east due to wind, the right side may occasionally get a unique view of the Atlantic coastline.
