EZE β USH
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Malvinas Argentinas Airport (Ushuaia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking, front-row seats to the dramatic peaks of the Southern Andes and the sprawling Patagonian Ice Fields during the final hour of the flight.
Patagonian Steppe
The vast, arid, and windswept plains of central Argentina stretching toward the horizon.
The Southern Andes
Continuous views of snow-capped peaks and jagged ridges as the flight moves into Santa Cruz province.
Patagonian Ice Fields
Glimpses of massive glaciers and high-altitude ice sheets that dominate the southern cordillera.
Strait of Magellan
The historic and turbulent water passage separating mainland South America from the island of Tierra del Fuego.
Lago Fagnano
A massive, elongated lake that sits right on the Magallanes-Fagnano fault line, visible just before landing.
Martial Mountains
The stunning, sharp peaks that wrap around Ushuaia, seen intimately during the mountain-pass descent.
This is the essential side for mountain lovers. Ensure you are seated forward or aft of the wing to capture the glaciers. The descent into USH from the north involves a spectacular turn through mountain valleys; keep your camera ready for the contrast between white peaks and deep blue water.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Aerial views of the sprawling capital and the massive Rio de la Plata estuary shortly after takeoff.
Atlantic Coastline
Segments of the rugged Patagonian coast where the dry steppe meets the deep blue of the South Atlantic.
Peninsula Valdes
On specific flight paths, the distinct mushroom-shaped UNESCO site known for whale breeding is visible.
Beagle Channel
Dramatic views of the water passage and the Chilean islands to the south during the final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Atlantic. This side provides a better perspective of the Beagle Channel's vastness during the final approach into Ushuaia. Keep an eye out for the San MatΓas Gulf.
