FLN → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Hercílio Luz International Airport (Florianopolis) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views during the final approach, showcasing the lush Paraná Delta and a stunning panoramic vista of the Buenos Aires skyline as the plane aligns with the runway at the riverside airport.
Serra Geral Escarpments
The steep cliffs and mountainous terrain marking the edge of the Brazilian plateau in the distance.
Uruguayan Pampas
The vast, rolling green grasslands and agricultural patchwork that define the interior of Uruguay.
Paraná Delta
A stunning network of winding brown rivers and lush green islands just before the descent into Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires Skyline
An incredible close-up view of the city's dense urban core, including Puerto Madero and the microcentro.
Estadio Monumental
The iconic circular home of River Plate is often clearly visible during the low-altitude approach to AEP.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'city view' landing at AEP. For late afternoon flights, you will experience a beautiful sunset over the Delta, though be prepared for some glare. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing as the aircraft follows the coastline of the Rio de la Plata directly alongside the city.
Ilha de Santa Catarina
Aerial views of the southern beaches and rugged coastline of Florianopolis immediately after takeoff.
Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the breaking waves along the long, sandy stretches of Southern Brazil.
Lagoa dos Patos
The massive lagoon system of Rio Grande do Sul, appearing like an inland sea on the horizon.
Punta del Este
The famous Uruguayan peninsula and its iconic skyline as the flight enters the Rio de la Plata.
Rio de la Plata Estuary
The dramatic visual boundary where the blue Atlantic waters mix with the brown, sediment-rich river water.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for photography of the Uruguayan coast. It is also the best side to spot the transition of water colors in the estuary. Look for the white lighthouse at Cabo Polonio early in the Uruguayan segment of the flight.
