Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Iguazu Falls. While takeoff favors the right for Buenos Aires views, the landing on runway 12 (the standard approach) strongly favors left seats for the Iguazu Falls mist plume and Paraná gorge—the flight's signature visual payoff. Left wins overall.

During takeoff from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), sit on the Right side for the best views. AEP typically departs runway 09 (westbound) or 27 (eastbound). Right-side seats on a westbound departure offer views of the Río de la Plata estuary and Buenos Aires' northern suburbs. Eastbound departures from runway 27 favor left seats, but westbound is more common for northbound flights to Iguazu. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata (wide brown estuary immediately below), Buenos Aires northern districts (San Isidro, Vicente López grid pattern), Tigre Delta waterways (branching channels northeast).

When landing at Cataratas Del Iguazu (IGR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approach to IGR typically uses runway 12 (from the northeast) or runway 30 (from the southwest). A northeast approach on runway 12 favors left-side seats, which capture the Paraná River's dramatic gorge and the falls' spray plume as you descend. This is the standard approach for most traffic. Notable sights include: Iguazu Falls main cascade (visible as white water and mist plume), Paraná River gorge (steep forested banks), Puerto Iguazú town (small settlement on right bank), Brazilian side vegetation (dense subtropical forest on opposite bank).

The flight from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) to Cataratas Del Iguazu (IGR) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Mesopotamia region (Entre Ríos and Misiones provinces). Notable features include the Paraná River itself (visible as a wide brown ribbon for much of the route), extensive agricultural land and pasture in Entre Ríos, and the transition to subtropical forest as you approach Misiones. The terrain gradually rises toward the Paraná Plateau. No major mountain ranges are visible, but the landscape shifts from flat pampas to rolling, forested terrain. The Río Uruguay forms the eastern border but is not directly on the flight path.
