ASU (Asuncion) window seat guide

At Silvio Pettirossi International in Asuncion: for takeoff, sit on the Left side; for landing, sit on the Right side. Notable views include: Río Paraguay, Bahía de Asunción, Asunción city skyline, Chaco floodplain across the river.

When taking off from Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing north on runway 02, the aircraft climbs out just east of downtown Asunción, so the left side gives a good view of the Río Paraguay, the Bahía de Asunción, and the city skyline as you bank away. The right side mostly shows flat farmland and scattered towns toward Lake Ypacaraí, which is farther and less distinct at altitude. Notable sights include: Río Paraguay, Bahía de Asunción, Asunción city skyline, Chaco floodplain across the river.

When landing at Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 20 means approaching from the north and flying south, with the Paraguay River and Asuncion Bay curving into view off to the west. That puts the river bends, the bay, and the Asuncion downtown skyline on the right side of the aircraft during the final approach. Notable sights include: Paraguay River, Asuncion Bay (Bahía de Asunción), Asuncion downtown skyline, Luque suburb below.

The best window seat at Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU) depends on several factors: the typical runway used for your departure or arrival, the geographic features around Asuncion (mountains, coastlines, city skylines), weather conditions, and time of day. Morning and evening flights often offer the best lighting for scenic views.
