Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Almirante Marco Andres Zar Airport (Trelew)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior as it offers a front-row seat to the dramatic Atlantic coastline and the iconic Valdés Peninsula during the descent into Trelew.
Mar Argentino
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean as the flight tracks south along the coast.
Costa Atlántica
Aerial perspectives of famous seaside resorts like Mar del Plata and Necochea depending on the specific flight corridor.
Bahía Blanca Estuary
A complex network of islands and channels where the pampas meet the sea at this major industrial port.
Valdés Peninsula
The unmistakable mushroom-shaped UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its marine life and unique geography.
Golfo Nuevo
A stunning circular bay visible during the final approach, often showing vibrant turquoise edges against the desert.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best views. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, potentially causing glare; afternoon flights offer much softer light and better photography conditions. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the Valdés Peninsula.
The Humid Pampas
Endless patterns of fertile agricultural land and cattle pastures characteristic of the Buenos Aires province.
Colorado River
A winding green lifeline that marks the traditional geographic border between the Pampas and Patagonia.
Salina del Gualicho
Bright white salt flats that create a stark contrast against the surrounding reddish-brown desert soil.
Patagonian Steppe
The transition to the arid 'Meseta' landscape, featuring plateaus and volcanic rock formations.
Chubut River Valley
The lush green valley of Gaiman and Trelew, standing out sharply against the dry surroundings just before landing.
The right side (Seat 'F') is ideal for sunset flights as you look west toward the distant (though usually not visible) Andes. It is also better for spotting the unique 'Salinas' (salt flats) of the Rio Negro province. Watch for the sharp contrast between the dry steppe and the irrigated green valley of the Chubut River during the final 10 minutes of flight.
