RELAEP

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Atlantic coastline, the unique shape of Península Valdés, and the iconic Buenos Aires skyline during the final approach over the Río de la Plata.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🐳

Península Valdés

A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique 'mushroom' shape and marine wildlife sightings.

🌊

San Matías Gulf

Deep blue Atlantic waters meeting the high coastal cliffs of northern Patagonia.

🏖️

Atlantic Coast Resorts

Views of coastal towns like Monte Hermoso and the extensive sand dune systems.

⚓

Samborombón Bay

The massive, shallow semicircular bay where the Pampas meet the estuary.

🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

Spectacular views of Puerto Madero, the Obelisk, and the downtown skyscrapers during the approach to Aeroparque.

The right side (F seats) is essential for the scenic arrival at AEP. The plane typically approaches from the south over the water, providing a panoramic view of the city. For the best experience, book a flight arriving around sunset to see the city lights reflecting off the Río de la Plata.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌵

Patagonian Steppe

Vast, arid landscapes of the Meseta showing the rugged beauty of the Chubut province.

💧

Río Negro Valley

The striking contrast of a lush green agricultural strip amidst the surrounding desert near Viedma.

🏙️

Bahía Blanca

Aerial views of the major port city and its industrial naval base, Puerto Belgrano.

🌾

The Pampas

Endless patterns of fertile agricultural land and cattle ranches as you move north.

🏠

Greater Buenos Aires

The massive urban sprawl and dense residential neighborhoods of the southern suburbs.

Sit on the left for inland views of the Patagonian plateau. Late afternoon flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh morning sun and capture the long shadows over the Pampas.
