Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires) to Sauce Viejo Airport (Santa Fe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the massive Paraná River and its intricate delta system, which is the most visually striking feature of this route.
Río de la Plata
The world's widest estuary, showing its characteristic silty brown waters meeting the horizon.
Paraná Delta
A stunning labyrinth of islands and narrow channels where the river meets the estuary.
Commercial Shipping
Large cargo vessels navigating the deep-water channels towards the upriver ports.
Paraná River Course
The winding, majestic path of the river as it snakes through the wetlands of Entre Ríos.
Wetland Ecosystems
Diverse marshlands and small lagoons visible as the flight approaches Santa Fe.
The right side is the clear winner for nature lovers. For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the delta channels, making the water pop against the green vegetation. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the plane turns north over the river. Avoid seats directly over the wing (usually rows 10-20 on narrow-body jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the river's curves.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl including Palermo and Belgrano neighborhoods immediately after takeoff.
River Plate Stadium
The massive Mâs Monumental stadium is clearly visible to the left shortly after departure from AEP.
The Argentine Pampas
Vast stretches of fertile agricultural plains that define the economic heartland of Argentina.
Northern Suburbs
View of the affluent residential areas of San Isidro and the land-side of the Tigre district.
Sit on the left if you prefer urban landscapes and stadium views during the climb. This side is better during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun, providing a clearer view of the agricultural patterns in the pampas.
