Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Sahara desert, the Atlas Mountains, and a prime view of Barcelona's urban landscape upon landing.
Buenos Aires Skyline
A stunning panoramic view of the 'Paris of the South' and its port area shortly after departure.
Sahara Desert
Marvel at the vast orange dunes and rocky plateaus of Western Sahara and Mauritania during the daylight hours.
Atlas Mountains
The snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas in Morocco provide a dramatic contrast to the desert below.
Sierra Nevada
As the plane enters Spanish airspace, the highest peaks of the Iberian Peninsula are visible near Granada.
Barcelona City View
When landing from the south (Runway 06L), this side offers an iconic view of the Sagrada Família and the city grid.
The right side is ideal for sunrise views over the Mediterranean. It is the superior choice for observing the African continent and the final approach into Barcelona. Ensure you have your camera ready as you cross the Strait of Gibraltar for views of two continents at once.
Rio de la Plata
View the massive brown estuary separating Argentina and Uruguay immediately after takeoff from EZE.
Brazilian Northeast Coast
Clear views of the white sand beaches and turquoise waters near Natal and Recife before the ocean crossing.
Canary Islands
Depending on the specific airway, the volcanic peaks of Tenerife or Gran Canaria are visible in the distance.
Spanish Levant Coast
The rugged coastline of Valencia and Castellón appears as the flight heads north toward Catalonia.
Montserrat Massif
On final approach to BCN, the jagged, unique silhouettes of the Montserrat mountains are visible to the west.
Select the left side for better views of the South American coastline during the first half of the trip. This side avoids direct afternoon sun when flying north-east. Watch for the dramatic change from the muddy Rio de la Plata to the deep blue Atlantic.
