EQS โ AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Brigadier Antonio Parodi Airport (Esquel) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side (Port) is superior as it offers front-row seats to the Andes foothills upon takeoff from Esquel and typically provides the iconic panoramic view of the Buenos Aires skyline and the Obelisk during the final approach into Aeroparque.
Andes Foothills
Dramatic views of the craggy, snow-capped peaks of the Chubut province immediately after departure from EQS.
Patagonian Steppe
The vast, arid, and desolate beauty of the Argentine plateau with its unique geological formations.
Humid Pampas
The transition from desert to the lush, green agricultural heartland of Argentina as you head northeast.
Buenos Aires Skyline
On standard approaches from the north, you will see the 9 de Julio Avenue, the Obelisk, and the dense skyscrapers of the CBD.
Puerto Madero
The modernized docklands and the 'Puente de la Mujer' bridge visible just moments before touchdown.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. The initial 15 minutes offer the best mountain scenery, while the last 10 minutes provide the best urban photography. Look for the winding Negro and Colorado rivers which mark the boundary of Patagonia.
Agricultural Grids
Geometric patterns of massive soy and wheat fields stretching to the horizon across the Pampas.
Rio de la Plata
The world's widest river, recognizable by its distinct sediment-heavy brown color as you approach the capital.
Vicente Lรณpez Coastline
View of the northern suburbs' waterfront parks and marinas during the descent.
River Plate Stadium
The famous 'Monumental' stadium is often visible on the right side if the plane approaches AEP from the north.
The right side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the Rio de la Plata during the final descent. Be aware that the morning sun will be directly in your window for the first half of the trip, making photography difficult without a filter.
