About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU) to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Asuncion to Buenos Aires. While takeoff offers good river views on the right, the landing approach on the left provides superior geography—the entire Río de la Plata estuary and Buenos Aires waterfront are far more visually distinctive and iconic than the departure landscape. The left side captures the dramatic transition from open water to one of South America's major cities.

What can I see during takeoff from Silvio Pettirossi International in Asuncion?

The flight path crosses the Paraná River system and its wetlands (Esteros del Ibera region visible to the southeast), then transitions over the flat Mesopotamia region of Argentina (Entre Ríos province). The landscape gradually shifts from subtropical wetlands and forests to agricultural plains. The Río Uruguay forms the eastern border of Argentina during the southern portion of the flight. As the aircraft descends toward Buenos Aires, the Río de la Plata estuary becomes visible, marking the final approach corridor.
