MDZ → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from El Plumerillo Airport (Mendoza) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior balance of landscapes, featuring the dramatic Andes range upon departure and the intricate Paraná Delta islands during the final descent into Buenos Aires.

The Andes Mountains
Immediate views of the snow-capped Precordillera and high peaks looking north-west during the climb out of Mendoza.
Wine Country
A bird's-eye view of the vast 'fincas' and irrigation patterns that define the Mendoza agricultural oasis.
Arid Plains
The transition from the irrigated valleys to the dry, reddish soil of San Luis province.
Paraná Delta
A stunning view of the labyrinthine islands and sediment-rich waters where the Paraná River empties into the Río de la Plata.
Northern Shoreline
Clear views of San Isidro's cathedral and the dense greenery of the northern Buenos Aires suburbs.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Andes. For morning flights, the left side avoids the direct southern sun glare typical of this eastward route. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight as the plane descends over the delta—the color contrast between the brown water and green islands is striking.

Mount Tupungato
One of the highest volcanoes in the world is often visible to the southwest shortly after takeoff.
The Pampas
The quintessential Argentine landscape: flat, fertile, and endless agricultural fields stretching to the horizon.
Laguna de Gómez
Prominent water bodies near the city of Junín that break up the green and yellow patchwork of the plains.
City Skyline
During the final approach into Aeroparque, catch glimpses of the iconic Obelisco and the dense downtown skyscrapers.
Puerto Madero
The modern waterfront district and the 'Puente de la Mujer' are often visible just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Buenos Aires skyline. If the flight approaches Aeroparque from the south (less common but possible), this side offers an unparalleled view of the entire city. Watch for the dramatic change from the dry western plains to the humid, lush greenery of eastern Argentina.
