Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Quito. While takeoff offers the delta's intricate waterways, the landing view of the Andes—particularly Pichincha and Cotopaxi volcanoes—is more visually dramatic and geographically distinctive. The volcanic landscape is the flight's signature feature.

During takeoff from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), sit on the Left side for the best views. AEP typically departs northbound (Runway 13/31, with northbound preference). Left seats face west across the Río de la Plata estuary toward the Paraná Delta's intricate waterways and wetlands. Right seats look inland toward the flat pampas with minimal visual interest. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata (wide brown estuary immediately below), Paraná Delta (complex network of islands and channels to the northwest), Buenos Aires urban grid (receding southward), Tigre district waterways (visible as thin lines through delta vegetation).

When landing at Mariscal Sucre International (UIO), sit on the Right side for the best views. UIO (Mariscal Sucre) sits on the Quito plateau at 9,226 feet elevation. Approach vectors typically come from the north or northeast. Right seats face west-southwest toward the dramatic western cordillera of the Andes, with the snow-capped volcanic peaks of Pichincha and Cotopaxi visible during descent. Left seats face the eastern plateau with less dramatic terrain. Notable sights include: Pichincha volcano (dominant snow-capped peak to the west), Cotopaxi volcano (visible as a distant white cone on the southern horizon), Quito city sprawl (filling the plateau below), Eastern Cordillera ridgeline (forming the eastern horizon).

The flight from Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) to Mariscal Sucre International (UIO) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Colombian Pacific coast near Buenaventura, then climbs over the Western Cordillera into the Cauca Valley. The Magdalena River valley is visible during the northern portion of the flight. The approach to Ecuador crosses the Nariño highlands before descending to the Quito plateau. Cotopaxi and Tungurahua volcanoes may be visible on the right during descent into UIO if weather permits.
