EZE → SCL
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (Santiago)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side (Starboard) is the premier choice for this route because it offers the most direct and iconic view of Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, during the trans-Andean crossing.
Search flights from EZE to SCL
Buenos Aires Metro
A sprawling aerial view of the federal capital's grid and the northern suburbs like Olivos and San Isidro.
The Pampas
Infinite geometric patterns of Argentina's agricultural heartland stretching toward the horizon.
Mendoza Vineyards
The green oasis of the Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo appearing just before the high peaks.
Mount Aconcagua
The undisputed star of the flight; the 6,961m peak is usually visible clearly to the north of the flight path.
Laguna del Inca
The bright turquoise alpine lake of the Portillo ski resort nestled deep within the high mountain passes.
For the most spectacular photos of Aconcagua, book a seat on the right and aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern face of the Andes. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountain range as the plane maneuvers through the narrow Cristo Redentor pass area.

Rio de la Plata
Vast views of the world's widest estuary and the southern coastline of Buenos Aires during departure.
Sierras de San Luis
Rugged, ancient rock formations rising dramatically from the flat Argentine pampas mid-flight.
Tupungato Volcano
A massive, ice-clad stratovolcano that dominates the southern horizon during the mountain crossing.
Cajón del Maipo
Deep, winding glacial valleys and sharp ridges characteristic of the central Chilean Andes.
Santiago Skyline
Excellent views of the Costanera Center and the dense urban landscape of the Chilean capital on approach.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun, which can wash out colors. It provides a better perspective of the Tupungato volcano and the southern glaciers. During descent into SCL, this side often looks directly toward the downtown skyscraper district if landing from the north.
