The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular sunset views over the Argentine plains.

Lagoa dos Patos
A massive coastal lagoon in southern Brazil, offering stunning water patterns shortly after takeoff.
Montevideo Vista
On clear days, see the Uruguayan capital and its iconic coastal Rambla from a high altitude.
Río de la Plata Estuary
Observe the distinct brown silt-heavy waters where the river system meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Navigational Channels
Spot large cargo ships navigating the narrow deep-water channels leading into the port of Buenos Aires.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct color change in the water as you cross from the blue Atlantic toward the brown Río de la Plata. It is particularly scenic during the golden hour when the water reflects a soft metallic glow.
