LUQ → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Brigadier Mayor D Cesar Raul Ojeda Airport (San Luis) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left offers views of the Rio de la Plata, the Right Side is the clear winner for its unparalleled panorama of the Buenos Aires skyline, football stadiums, and the massive urban expanse during the final approach.
Irrigation Patterns
Geometric circular crop fields visible in the drier regions near San Luis.
Greater Buenos Aires
The massive urban footprint of one of South America's largest metropolitan areas.
Estadio Monumental
River Plate's iconic stadium, one of the most famous landmarks visible just before landing.
Puerto Madero Skyline
The cluster of modern skyscrapers that define the eastern edge of the city.
City Center
A dense urban grid featuring the historic Casa Rosada and the distant Obelisco.
The right side is essential for the 'city approach.' As the aircraft aligns with runway 13 at Jorge Newbery, you will fly parallel to the city. Afternoon flights are best as the sun illuminates the buildings, providing excellent lighting for photography of the BA skyline.
Sierras de San Luis
Granite mountain ranges located just north of the departure point in San Luis.
The Humid Pampas
Infinite stretches of fertile green pastures and cattle ranches across central Argentina.
Pampas Lagoons
Numerous small, shallow lakes that dot the flat landscape of the Buenos Aires province.
Tigre Delta
A complex network of islands and sediment-rich river channels where the Paraná meets the estuary.
Río de la Plata
The world's widest river, looking like a brown sea as you approach the capital.
Sit on the left if you prefer nature and water. During the final descent into AEP, the left side offers a clear view of the brown river waters and the massive cargo ships anchored off the coast. Morning flights provide a beautiful sunrise reflection on the water's surface.
