EZE → ATL
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the towering Andes Mountains, the Altiplano's high-altitude lakes, and a clear view of the Panama Canal crossing.
Buenos Aires Departure
Stunning night views of the illuminated 'Paris of the South' and the vast Rio de la Plata estuary.
The Andes Range
Unrivaled perspectives of the snow-capped peaks and glaciers forming the continental spine.
Lake Titicaca
A glimpse of the world's highest navigable lake, shimmering blue against the rugged Bolivian Altiplano.
Panama Canal
A bird's-eye view of the locks and ships transiting between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Central American Volcanoes
Aerial views of the dramatic volcanic chain stretching across Nicaragua and El Salvador.
Since most flights from EZE to ATL are overnight, the left side offers the best sunrise views over the Andes if you are traveling during the southern winter. Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Panama Canal, which usually appears roughly 7-8 hours into the flight. Look out for the morning light hitting the peaks of the Peruvian cordillera.
Amazon Basin
Endless stretches of the world's largest rainforest and the winding tributaries of the Amazon river system.
Caribbean Sea
Deep turquoise waters and coral reefs visible while passing the western tip of Cuba.
Florida Panhandle
The emerald waters and white quartz sand beaches of the Gulf Coast during the final descent.
Atlanta Skyline
A view of the Buckhead and Midtown skylines depending on the runway approach pattern at ATL.
Atlantic Horizon
The vast expanse of the South Atlantic ocean shortly after departing the Argentine coast.
The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy watching the sunrise over the horizon during the early morning hours of the flight. As you approach the United States, watch for the distinctive coastline of the Florida Panhandle. If the flight path takes a more easterly route, you may see the Florida Keys or the Everglades in the distance. Be aware that seasonal convective weather over the Amazon often leads to heavy cloud cover on this side.
