FMAAEP

Which side of the plane to sit from Formosa Airport (Formosa) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled vantage point of the Buenos Aires skyline and the intricate Tigre Delta during the descent, whereas the left side primarily overlooks the vast expanse of the Río de la Plata.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌉

Resistencia-Corrientes Bridge

Spot the General Belgrano Bridge connecting these two major provincial capitals shortly after takeoff.

🌿

Tigre Delta

A stunning labyrinth of thousands of subtropical islands and reddish-brown channels just north of the capital.

🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

Direct views of the Puerto Madero skyscrapers, the historic city center, and the iconic Obelisco during the final approach.

⚽

River Plate Stadium

The massive 'Más Monumental' stadium is clearly visible just seconds before touching down at AEP.

For the best experience, choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the city. On the typical approach to Runway 13, you will fly parallel to the coast, providing a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of Buenos Aires. Evening flights offer a spectacular view of the city lights reflecting off the river.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Paraná River System

Aerial views of the massive, winding river system that defines the Argentine Mesopotamia region.

🇦🇷

Entre Ríos Wetlands

A patchwork of lagoons, marshes, and verdant floodplains typical of the littoral provinces.

🚢

Río de la Plata Estuary

The world's widest river estuary, showing a distinct brown sediment plume where it meets the sea.

Sit here if you prefer views of the natural river boundaries between Argentina and Uruguay. On early morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which may cause significant glare and heat through the window.
