Which side of the plane to sit from Malvinas Argentinas Airport (Ushuaia) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior visual journey, starting with the dramatic Fuegian Andes and Lake Fagnano, transitioning through the Patagonian interior, and concluding with a stunning skyline view of Buenos Aires on the descent into AEP.

Fuegian Andes
Breathtaking views of the southernmost peaks of the Andes range immediately after takeoff from Ushuaia.
Lake Fagnano
A massive, elongated lake that stretches across the border of Argentina and Chile, visible shortly after departure.
Patagonian Steppe
The vast, arid landscapes of the Santa Cruz and Chubut provinces, showcasing unique geological formations.
Buenos Aires Skyline
An iconic aerial view of the city's high-rise buildings and the Obelisco during the approach to Jorge Newbery.
Puerto Madero
Clear views of the modern waterfront district and the 'Puente de la Mujer' just before touchdown.
Select a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you while viewing the mountains. This side is essential for the classic 'city view' landing at AEP, provided the aircraft approaches from the north over the Rio de la Plata. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the urban sprawl.

Beagle Channel
A spectacular view of the historic waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Atlantic Coastline
Dramatic views of the rugged Patagonian cliffs where the land meets the deep blue Argentine Sea.
Peninsula Valdes
If the flight path hugs the coast, you can spot the unique mushroom-shaped peninsula, a world-famous whale sanctuary.
Rio de la Plata
The massive, silt-heavy estuary that separates Argentina and Uruguay, looking like a sea of chocolate milk.
El Monumental Stadium
The home of River Plate, often visible on the final approach if the plane circles over the river.
The right side is perfect for capturing the sunrise over the Atlantic on early morning departures. While it features more water than the left, it provides the best perspective of the Beagle Channel's entrance. Watch for the distinct color change in the water as you transition from the ocean into the muddy Rio de la Plata estuary.
