IRJ → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Capitan V A Almonacid Airport (La Rioja) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it provides the most iconic views of the Buenos Aires skyline and the Tigre Delta during the final descent into Jorge Newbery Airpark.
Sierras de Córdoba
Detailed views of the eastern slopes and granite peaks of the central mountain range.
San Roque Lake
The blue expanse of the reservoir near Villa Carlos Paz is often visible during the transition south.
Pampa Húmeda
Vast, emerald-green agricultural grids that define Argentina's fertile heartland.
Tigre Delta
A sprawling network of brown river channels and lush islands where the Paraná River meets the estuary.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Unrivaled views of the dense urban skyscrapers, the Obelisco, and the Palermo parks on final approach.
For the best experience, book a seat in the front or rear to avoid the wing. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains and city perfectly. The approach into AEP is low and coastal, so keep your camera ready as soon as you see the Tigre Delta channels.
Sierra de Velasco
Striking arid mountain ridges immediately visible upon departure from La Rioja.
Salinas Grandes
A distant white shimmer of the high-altitude salt flats may be visible to the west.
Río de la Plata
The massive, chocolate-colored estuary that looks like an ocean due to its incredible width.
Port of Buenos Aires
View of the industrial docks and massive cargo ships waiting to enter the harbor.
Estadio Monumental
A clear view of the River Plate stadium if the aircraft approaches from the north over the river.
The right side is excellent for early-flight geography. If the aircraft is forced to land from the south (Runway 31) due to wind conditions, the right side inherits the city views. Watch for the 'mar de fondo' where the river water changes color near the coast.
