EZE → IAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (Houston)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for this northbound overnight route because it offers a stunning sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico and superior views of the Texas coastline and Galveston Bay upon arrival.
Rio de la Plata
The world's widest estuary is clearly visible on the right shortly after departure, often reflecting moonlight.
Amazonian River Systems
Occasional glints of moonlight off the winding tributaries of the Amazon River in Northern Brazil and Colombia.
Caribbean Islands
High-altitude views of the western edge of Cuba or the Cayman Islands depending on the specific air corridor.
Gulf Sunrise
A breathtaking panoramic sunrise over the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico as you approach U.S. airspace.
Galveston Bay & Ship Channel
Clear views of the Texas coast, the intricate barrier islands, and the massive tankers in the Houston Ship Channel.
Choose the right side for the best 'welcome to Texas' views. Since this is an overnight flight arriving early morning, keep your window shade down for sleep until you reach the Gulf of Mexico to witness the spectacular offshore oil rig lights which look like a field of stars on the water.
Greater Buenos Aires
View the massive, glowing grid of Argentina's capital immediately after takeoff from EZE.
Distant Andean Silhouettes
On clear nights, the faint, dark outlines of the pre-Andean mountain ranges are visible to the far west.
Central American Volcanoes
As the sun begins to rise, the peaks of volcanoes in Guatemala and El Salvador may be visible in the distance.
Western Yucatan
The rugged coastline of the Campeche region of Mexico as the flight transitions into the Gulf.
Houston Suburbs
Views of the sprawling residential developments and green corridors of Southwest Houston during the descent.
The left side is excellent for stargazing over the Amazon and avoiding the direct glare of the morning sun during the final two hours of the flight. If the flight arrives from the west, you may get a distant view of the Downtown Houston skyline.
