JFK → EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from John F Kennedy International Airport (New York) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its views of the US East Coast lights, the distant silhouettes of the Andes Mountains at sunrise, and the expansive Argentine Pampas during descent.
Manhattan Lights
Glittering views of the New York City skyline and the Jersey Shore shortly after takeoff from JFK.
Caribbean Isles
Deep blue waters and tropical islands visible if the flight path crosses the Greater Antilles or Bahamas.
Andes Silhouette
Distant, majestic views of the Andes mountain range peaks against the western horizon at dawn.
The Pampas
The iconic, flat grasslands and agricultural grids of central Argentina during the final descent.
The Right Side offers excellent views of the US coastline lights at night. As day breaks over South America, look west to spot the distant Andes. This side provides a superior view of the fertile Pampas, which are best seen in the morning light before landing at EZE.
Atlantic Seaboard
The early leg of the flight follows the edge of the Atlantic continental shelf over the deep ocean.
Amazon Basin
Aerial views of the dense, green rainforest canopy during the early morning hours as the sun rises.
Rio de la Plata
The world's widest estuary with its distinct silty brown water separating Argentina and Uruguay.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Potential views of the city's dense urban core and the Obelisco during the landing pattern into EZE.
Since this is an overnight flight, the Left Side is ideal for watching a spectacular sunrise over the Amazon. It also offers the best perspective of the Rio de la Plata's massive scale as you descend into the Buenos Aires region in the morning.
