USHEZE

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the stunning snow-capped peaks of the Andes during departure and a panoramic view of the vast Patagonian plateau and interior lakes throughout the journey.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Martial Mountains

Breathtaking views of the rugged peaks and glaciers surrounding Ushuaia immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Lago Fagnano

A massive, deep blue lake that stretches across the binational border of Argentina and Chile.

❄️

Southern Andes Range

Continued views of the southern tail of the Andes, featuring jagged ridges and permanent snowfields.

🏜️

Patagonian Steppe

The landscape transforms into the vast, arid, and windswept plains of Santa Cruz and Chubut provinces.

🚜

Pampas Farmland

The final descent reveals the highly productive, geometric agricultural grids of the humid pampas.

Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain views during the first 30 minutes. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun rising over the Atlantic. Try to book a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the lakes.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🚢

Beagle Channel

Spectacular views of the historic waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

🌊

Atlantic Coastline

The route often tracks the coast, showing the dramatic interface between the blue ocean and the brown steppe.

🐋

Valdes Peninsula

If the flight path stays near the coast, you can spot the unique mushroom-shaped landmass of this UNESCO site.

⚓

Rio de la Plata

The world's widest estuary comes into view during the approach to Buenos Aires, often appearing brown due to sediment.

The right side is superior if you want to see the Beagle Channel during takeoff. During the descent into EZE, the right side often provides a distant view of the Buenos Aires city skyline if the plane approaches from the north. Watch for the 'Isla de los Estados' if the flight takes a more easterly offshore route initially.
