Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Lima. While takeoff favors the right for Buenos Aires estuary views, the landing approach on the left side provides the most dramatic and sustained scenery—the Andes Mountains and Rimac valley are far more visually distinctive than the Pampas. The left side captures the flight's geographic climax.

During takeoff from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), sit on the Right side for the best views. AEP typically departs northwestward (Runway 09/27, favoring 09 for northbound traffic). Right-side seats capture the Río de la Plata estuary and the city grid of Buenos Aires receding southward, with the brown water body dominating the initial climb. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata (wide brown estuary), Buenos Aires urban grid (Palermo, Recoleta districts), Tigre Delta waterways to the north, Pampas grassland extending west.

When landing at Jorge Chavez International (LIM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Lima's Jorge Chavez typically lands from the south on Runway 03 (northbound approach). Left-side seats offer views of the Andes foothills and the Rimac River valley as the aircraft descends toward the coastal plain, with the Pacific Ocean visible to the right but less dramatic. Notable sights include: Andes Mountains (eastern horizon, snow-capped peaks), Rimac River valley (brown gorge cutting through foothills), Lima urban sprawl (beige and tan cityscape), Pacific Ocean (western edge).

The flight from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) to Jorge Chavez International (LIM) takes Approximately 4 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Paraná River basin and enters Paraguay airspace, then transitions over the Chocó region and eastern Peru. Notable features include the Paraná River's meanders (visible around 1.5 hours out), the Gran Chaco's flat scrubland, and the foothills of the Andes rising gradually from 2.5 hours onward. The Amazon basin's green canopy is visible to the north (left) during the final 90 minutes of flight, though the direct route stays south of the main Amazon. The Ucayali River's tributaries may be visible in the final descent phase if conditions allow.
