MDZ → EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from El Plumerillo Airport (Mendoza) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views during the descent, showcasing the intricate Paraná Delta and the expansive Rio de la Plata before landing at EZE.
Mendoza Vineyards
Vibrant green vineyard grids of the Maipú and Luján de Cuyo regions immediately after takeoff.
Cuyo Arid Lands
The dramatic transition from irrigated oases to the vast, dry scrublands of central Argentina.
Paraná Delta
The complex network of islands and brown water channels where the Paraná River meets the estuary.
Rio de la Plata
The world's widest river estuary, appearing like an ocean of chocolate-colored water.
Buenos Aires Skyline
A panoramic view of the 'Paris of the South' and its dense urban center during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is crucial for seeing the Paraná Delta, which is best viewed when the sun is high to highlight the water contrast. Look for the massive brown expanse of the Rio de la Plata as you descend into the humid pampa.
Andean Precordillera
Distant but majestic views of the Andes foothills and the snowy peaks of the main cordillera to the west.
Mendoza City
A clear view of the city's forested grid and General San Martín Park shortly after departure.
The Humid Pampa
A seemingly endless patchwork of agricultural fields that represent Argentina's farming heartland.
GBA Suburbs
The sprawling residential areas of Greater Buenos Aires that stretch toward the horizon.
The right side is excellent for seeing the city of Mendoza right after takeoff. If the flight path departs toward the south before turning east, you will get a great view of the Andes mountain range. Note that afternoon flights on this side may experience significant sun glare.
