SLA → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Martin Miguel De Guemes International Airport (Salta) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers breathtaking views of the pre-Andean mountain ranges upon departure from Salta and provides the iconic 'Postcard' view of the Buenos Aires skyline and Puerto Madero when approaching Jorge Newbery Airpark.

Book a window seat on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset reflecting off the Andes foothills. During the approach to AEP, the left side is essential for seeing the city center; if the plane lands from the north (the most common path), you will fly directly alongside the downtown skyscrapers.

Gran Chaco Plains
The expansive, semi-arid forests of eastern Salta and Santiago del Estero provinces.
Rosario City
A clear view of Argentina's third-largest city and its massive river port facilities along the Paraná.
Río de la Plata
The massive, silt-heavy expanse of the world's widest river appearing like a chocolate-colored sea.
El Monumental Stadium
The massive River Plate football stadium is often visible on the right just seconds before touchdown at AEP.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It offers a great perspective of the sheer width of the Río de la Plata. Watch for the cargo ships queuing up to enter the port of Buenos Aires as you descend over the water.
