EZE → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer vast oceanic stretches, the right side provides superior views of the African coastline, the crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar, and a better angle of the Frankfurt skyline upon arrival.
Montevideo Skyline
Excellent views of the Uruguayan capital across the water shortly after takeoff.
Saharan Coastline
The striking contrast of the deep blue Atlantic meeting the orange sands of Mauritania and Western Sahara.
Atlas Mountains
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of Morocco rising from the desert landscape.
Strait of Gibraltar
The narrow gateway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, with views of both Africa and Europe.
Spanish Meseta
The high plateau of central Spain, featuring golden plains and the Guadarrama mountains.
Frankfurt Skyline
A view of 'Mainhattan' and its skyscrapers during the final descent into FRA.
Choose the right side to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic, which occurs mid-flight on this northbound route. This side offers the best views of the African continent. Be prepared for direct sunlight in the morning; keep your window shade partially closed to prevent cabin heat while still spotting the Strait of Gibraltar.
Rio de la Plata
Expansive views of the world's widest estuary as you depart from Buenos Aires.
Brazilian Northeast Coast
Bird's eye view of the turquoise waters and white sands near Recife and Natal before the ocean crossing.
Pyrenees Mountains
Dramatic jagged peaks separating the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe.
Loire Valley
The lush green landscapes of central France dotted with historic chateaux and vineyards.
Paris Outskirts
On clear days, the distant urban sprawl of the French capital is visible to the North.
The left side is ideal for avoiding direct morning sunlight during the final hours of the flight. Watch for the coastal curve of Brazil approximately 4-5 hours into the flight. If you are flying during the day, the glare from the Atlantic is less intense on this side.
