MEX → EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Licenciado Benito Juarez International Airport (Mexico City) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides unparalleled views of the majestic Andes Mountain range, high-altitude lakes, and the striking geological formations of the Altiplano throughout the journey south.
Pacific Seaboard
Dramatic coastal vistas of El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica where the mountains meet the sea.
Peruvian Andes
A breathtaking sequence of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys as you fly parallel to the world's longest mountain range.
Lake Titicaca
The highest navigable lake in the world, appearing as a deep blue jewel surrounded by high-altitude plains.
Salar de Uyuni
The world's largest salt flat in Bolivia, visible as a brilliant, blindingly white expanse of geometric patterns.
Mount Aconcagua
Near the descent into Argentina, you may spot the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere rising above the clouds.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. For night flights, look for the 'Milky Way' over the dark, unpolluted Altiplano. Ensure your window is clean to capture the high-contrast white of the Bolivian salt flats against the blue sky.
Mexican Volcanoes
Stunning views of the active Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl peaks shortly after departure from Mexico City.
Caribbean Coastline
Glimpses of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches along the coasts of Central America and Colombia.
Amazon Basin
A vast expanse of deep green canopy as the flight traverses the edges of the upper Amazon rainforest.
Rio de la Plata
The massive, silt-heavy estuary where the Uruguay and Paraná rivers meet the Atlantic Ocean near Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Depending on the approach pattern, a sprawling view of the 'Paris of the South' and its distinct grid layout.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun as it rises over the Atlantic. This side is also superior for viewing the urban density of Buenos Aires during certain descent patterns into EZE.
