POA → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Salgado Filho Airport (Porto Alegre) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point of the Atlantic coastline, the vast lagoon systems of Southern Brazil, and the beautiful Uruguayan Riviera, culminating in a spectacular view of the Buenos Aires skyline upon arrival.
Lagoa Mirim
The second largest lagoon in Brazil, stretching across the border into Uruguay with intricate wetland patterns.
Punta del Este
The famous peninsula and upscale beaches of Uruguay's most iconic resort city are clearly visible from high altitude.
Montevideo Waterfront
A sweeping view of the Uruguayan capital's coastline, including the historic port and the long Rambla.
Río de la Plata Estuary
The dramatic transition into the world's widest estuary, characterized by its unique brown silty waters.
Buenos Aires Cityscape
On final approach to AEP, passengers get a front-row seat to the skyscrapers of Puerto Madero and the city center.
Book a window seat on the left (Seat A) and aim for a morning flight. The sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the Uruguayan coast. During landing at AEP, the left side usually faces the city, providing the most iconic views of the Argentine capital.
Guaíba Delta
Immediate views after takeoff of the river islands and channels that form the landscape around Porto Alegre.
The Pampa Biome
Vast stretches of agricultural land and traditional cattle ranches that define the interior of Rio Grande do Sul.
Colonia del Sacramento
Depending on the flight path, you may see the historic lighthouse and Portuguese colonial layout of this UNESCO site.
Delta del Paraná
View of the lush, green islands and winding river branches where the Paraná river meets the Rio de la Plata.
The right side is ideal for those who enjoy rural, agricultural landscapes. Late afternoon flights on this side may experience significant glare from the setting sun over the water. If the aircraft approaches from the north, you'll have a great view of the river traffic entering the port.
