Which side of the plane to sit from Carrasco International /General C L Berisso Airport (Montevideo) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Montevideo port upon departure and a stunning panoramic approach to Buenos Aires, including the skyscrapers of Puerto Madero and the lush Paraná Delta.
Montevideo Skyline
Clear views of the Palacio Salvo and the waterfront 'Rambla' immediately after takeoff from Carrasco.
Colonia del Sacramento
Look for the historic Portuguese colonial layout of this UNESCO World Heritage site along the Uruguayan coast.
Buenos Aires Skyscrapers
A dramatic view of the Microcentro, the Obelisco, and the modern high-rises of Puerto Madero.
Paraná Delta
The intricate, labyrinthine network of green islands and brown water channels northwest of the city.
Aeroparque (AEP)
You can often see the city's secondary airport nestled right against the riverfront from high above.
This is the 'scenic' side for this short hop. Choose a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Buenos Aires skyline. On late afternoon flights, the sun sets directly ahead or to the right, creating a golden reflection on the silt-rich waters of the Delta.
Río de la Plata Expanse
Witness the immense width of the world's widest estuary where the water transitions from blue to brown.
Isla de Flores
A small island featuring a historic lighthouse that served as a quarantine station in the 19th century.
Southern Suburbs
Aerial views of the industrial and residential sprawl of Avellaneda and Lanús during the final descent.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It offers a quieter, more meditative view of the vast water, which is ideal for spotting large cargo ships navigating the narrow channels toward the Atlantic.
