ASU → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (Asuncion) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Asuncion cityscape upon departure and an unparalleled perspective of the Buenos Aires skyline and the Tigre Delta during the final approach to Jorge Newbery Airpark.
Asuncion Skyline
Clear views of the Palacio de los Lopez and the expanding Costanera waterfront as you climb out of ASU.
Humid Chaco
The vast, emerald-green wetlands and palm savannas of the Paraguayan and Argentine Chaco regions.
Tigre Delta
The intricate, labyrinthine network of brown water channels and lush islands where the Parana River meets the Rio de la Plata.
Buenos Aires City
On a typical northern approach to AEP, see the iconic 9 de Julio Avenue, Puerto Madero, and the dense urban grid of the capital.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for the best morning light. This side is essential for the 'city tour' effect during the descent into Buenos Aires, as the flight path often parallels the coast. Keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the Parana River into Buenos Aires province.
Paraguay River
A view of the river's massive meanders that define the border between Paraguay and Argentina.
Parana River Traffic
Spot large grain freighters and barges navigating the critical Hidrovia waterway toward the Atlantic.
Rio de la Plata
The world's widest estuary, where the water's sediment creates a unique chocolate-brown horizon meeting the sky.
El Monumental
Direct views of the River Plate Stadium and the northern waterfront parks just seconds before touching down.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset reflecting off the vast Rio de la Plata. It provides a better sense of the sheer scale of the river system, though it offers less of the urban skyline compared to the left.
