AMS β EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the European mainland during the initial hours and provides the most iconic views of the Buenos Aires skyline and the Rio de la Plata on the final approach into EZE.
Pyrenees Mountains
Spectacular views of the rugged peaks separating France and Spain during the first three hours of the flight.
Iberian Peninsula
Clear views of the Spanish plateaus and the Portuguese coastline as the aircraft tracks south toward the Atlantic.
Cape Verde
Potential sightings of the volcanic islands and rugged terrain of the Cape Verde archipelago during the trans-Atlantic crossing.
Montevideo Skyline
As the plane descends, you can often see the capital of Uruguay and its beautiful coastal 'rambla' before crossing the estuary.
Buenos Aires Arrival
The premier view of 'Microcentro', the Obelisco, and the Puerto Madero district as the plane turns for its final approach into EZE.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'City View' of Buenos Aires during the northern approach. For daytime flights, be prepared for more direct sunlight. During the long mid-flight stretch over the Atlantic, keep the window shade down to help regulate cabin temperature, but open it as you approach the Uruguayan coast.
Dutch Coastline
Immediate views of the North Sea, the complex canal systems, and the polders of the Netherlands after takeoff from Schiphol.
Canary Islands
Distant sightings of the eastern islands of the archipelago, such as Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, depending on the specific flight corridor.
Rio de la Plata
The massive, silt-heavy estuary where the Parana and Uruguay rivers meet the Atlantic, marking the final stage of the journey.
Brazilian Offshore
A glimpse of the vast Atlantic coastline near Salvador and Rio de Janeiro as the plane re-enters South American airspace.
Choose this side for sunrise views over the Atlantic if you are on an overnight flight. It is generally quieter for sleeping as it avoids the glare of the setting sun over the Americas. Watch for the change in water color when crossing the 'Blue Water' line into the Rio de la Plata.
