Our Recommendation
9.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏜️

Patagonian Steppe

The vast, arid, and windswept plains of central Argentina stretching toward the horizon.

πŸ”οΈ

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.

πŸŒͺ️

Strait of Magellan

The historic and turbulent water passage separating mainland South America from the island of Tierra del Fuego.

πŸ’§

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.

Beagle Channel

Dramatic views of the water passage and the Chilean islands to the south during the final descent.
