EZE → MVD
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Carrasco International /General C L Berisso Airport (Montevideo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of both national capitals. Shortly after takeoff from EZE, you get a sweeping panorama of the Buenos Aires skyline and its docks. As you cross the Río de la Plata, you'll spot the historic town of Colonia del Sacramento before a scenic approach over the Montevideo coastline and the iconic Cerro de Montevideo.

Buenos Aires Skyline
Unrivaled views of the CABA metropolitan area, including the high-rises of Puerto Madero and the dense urban grid.
Colonia del Sacramento
The UNESCO World Heritage Portuguese colonial town is visible on the Uruguayan shore as the plane crosses the river.
Port of Buenos Aires
Large container ships and the Buquebus ferry terminal are clearly visible during the initial climb.
Cerro de Montevideo
The landmark hill with its historic fortress that gives the Uruguayan capital its name during the final descent.
El Monumental
River Plate's iconic stadium can often be spotted near the northern coastline of the city during departure.
Sit on the left (Window A) for the best urban photography. Since this is an incredibly short flight (approx. 45-50 mins), the plane remains at a relatively low altitude, providing excellent detail of the cityscapes. For evening flights, this side faces north, avoiding direct glare from the sun and allowing for clearer photos of the illuminated cities.

Río de la Plata
Witness the massive scale of the world's widest estuary, characterized by its unique sediment-rich brown waters.
La Plata City Grid
View the perfectly planned square layout and diagonal avenues of the capital of Buenos Aires Province.
Estuary Traffic
Spot the wakes of high-speed ferries and international cargo vessels navigating the channels toward the Atlantic.
River Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side offers stunning views of the sun reflecting off the vast expanse of water.
The right side (Window F/K) is best for observing the geometric precision of La Plata city shortly after takeoff. If you are flying during sunset, this side provides a dramatic view of the horizon over the water. Be aware that the view is predominantly water for the middle portion of the flight until the final approach into MVD.
