CDG β EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Iberian coastline during departure and provides the iconic urban skyline view of Buenos Aires upon arrival, along with potential glimpses of the Brazilian coast.
Loire Valley
Early in the flight, look down for the winding rivers and historic chΓ’teaux of Central France.
Portuguese Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged Atlantic cliffs and the mouth of the Tagus River near Lisbon.
Rio de la Plata
Cross the massive, brownish estuary that separates Uruguay and Argentina, the widest river in the world.
Buenos Aires Skyline
During the descent into EZE, the right side typically offers a sweeping view of the city's skyscrapers and Puerto Madero.
El Monumental
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see River Plate's iconic stadium and the northern suburbs of the city.
The right side is the 'urban side' for this route. To maximize your experience, ensure you are awake at least 45 minutes before landing. The approach into Ministro Pistarini often follows the coast of the Rio de la Plata; if the plane approaches from the North, the right side will have the best view of the city center. This side also avoids direct morning sunlight during the final hours of the flight, reducing glare on your window.
Picos de Europa
Stunning views of the jagged limestone peaks in Northern Spain shortly after crossing the Bay of Biscay.
Equatorial Sunrise
For overnight flights, the left side provides a front-row seat to a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.
Recife Coastline
The first point of contact with South America, featuring the bright turquoise waters of Northeast Brazil.
Fernando de Noronha
On specific flight tracks, you may spot this volcanic archipelago known for its emerald waters and sea life.
Punta del Este
View the famous Uruguayan resort peninsula and the transition from the blue ocean to the silty Rio de la Plata.
Since most flights from CDG to EZE are overnight, the left side is essential for photography enthusiasts wanting to capture the sunrise over the Atlantic. Choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare during the early morning light. Seasonal variations are minimal, but clear skies are most common near the Equator during the European winter months.
