FRA → EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side (Port) is generally superior on this long-haul south-bound route because it offers a front-row seat to the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean and superior views of the South American coastline upon landfall.
The Pyrenees
Early in the flight, catch the snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain.
Atlantic Sunrise
Spectacular sunrises occur over the open ocean as the flight crosses the equator.
Fernando de Noronha
Often visible as a small volcanic speck in the deep blue Atlantic off Brazil.
Recife Coastline
The first sighting of South American soil, featuring turquoise waters and white sands.
Rio de la Plata
The massive silty-brown estuary that signals your arrival into the Buenos Aires region.
Since most FRA-EZE flights depart in the evening, the left side is essential for viewing the sunrise. About 10 hours into the flight, keep your window shade up to see the transition from the deep Atlantic to the Brazilian coast. This side also provides excellent views of the Uruguayan coast before crossing the river toward Ezeiza.
Bay of Biscay
Rugged views of the Western French and Northern Spanish coastline after takeoff.
European Sunset
Watch the sun dip below the horizon over the Atlantic during the first hours of flight.
South American Interior
Views of the vast, varied landscapes of inland Brazil and the northern Argentine Pampas.
Buenos Aires Skyline
On many approach patterns, this side offers a distant but clear view of the city's skyscrapers.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer a sunset view shortly after departing Frankfurt. During the final descent into EZE, depending on the wind direction and landing pattern, the right side frequently offers a better view of the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires and the surrounding suburban pampas before touchdown.
