MDQ → BHI
Which side of the plane to sit from Ástor Piazzola International Airport (Mar Del Plata) to Comandante Espora Airport (Bahia Blanca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning continuous view of the Atlantic coastline, the vibrant seaside towns of the Buenos Aires province, and the complex geography of the Bahía Blanca estuary during the final descent.
Mar del Plata Cliffs
Breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and high-rise skyline of MDQ immediately after takeoff.
Puerto Quequén
Watch the deep-water port of Necochea where the Quequén Grande River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Monte Hermoso
A clear view of this popular beach resort known for its extensive sandy dunes and unique east-west orientation.
Bahía Blanca Estuary
A maze of islands, tidal channels, and salt marshes that form a unique ecosystem as you approach BHI.
Isla Bermejo
One of the largest islands in the estuary, visible during the final banking maneuvers for landing.
Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the coast. Morning flights are superior as the sun illuminates the shoreline from the east without creating glare on your window. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the estuary wetlands.
The Humid Pampa
The vast, productive agricultural heartland of Argentina, characterized by an endless patchwork of crop fields.
Sierra de la Ventana
On clear days, the silhouette of these ancient mountains, including Cerro Tres Picos, is visible on the horizon.
Rural Estancias
Spot traditional Argentine ranch estates and cattle herds dotting the interior landscape.
Ingeniero White
The massive industrial and petrochemical hub of Bahía Blanca, visible just before touchdown.
The right side is best for those interested in the 'Pampa' landscape. To see the Sierra de la Ventana, you need high visibility; look for them about midway through the flight towards the north. During sunset flights, this side will experience significant glare.
