EZE → JFK
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to John F Kennedy International Airport (New York)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for the approach into New York, offering the best chance to see the Manhattan skyline and the New Jersey coastline, while also providing views of the inland South American terrain during the early phase of the flight.

Northwest Argentina
Distant views of the precordillera and the vast plains of the Gran Chaco shortly after departure.
Jersey Shore
Aerial perspective of Atlantic City and the long stretches of New Jersey beaches during the initial descent.
Manhattan Skyline
On the Parkway Visual approach to JFK, the left side offers an iconic view of the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center.
Staten Island
Clear views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the shipping lanes entering New York Harbor.
Book an 'A' seat for the best alignment. Since most EZE-JFK flights are overnight, the sun will rise on the opposite side, meaning the left side avoids direct glare during the morning approach. This side is critical for the 'Parkway Visual' arrival into runway 13L, which is one of the most scenic approaches in the US.

Rio de la Plata
Immediate views after takeoff of the world's widest river and the lights of the Uruguayan coast.
Amazon Basin
If moonlight is bright or after dawn, view the vast, dense canopy and winding tributaries of the Brazilian Amazon.
Caribbean Archipelago
Vibrant turquoise waters and white sand reefs of the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas as you cross the Atlantic.
Atlantic Sunrise
Unobstructed views of the sun rising over the open Atlantic Ocean as the flight nears the US East Coast.
The right side (K or L seats) is ideal for those who enjoy watching the sunrise over the ocean. While you miss the Manhattan skyline on most approaches, you get a much better view of the Long Island coastline and the Hamptons during the final minutes of flight.
