About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU) to Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Asuncion to Buenos Aires. Left seats capture the most dramatic geography: the Paraná River's meanders during climb-out (right-side advantage) are brief, while the Río de la Plata estuary and Buenos Aires approach dominate the longer descent phase. Left-side views of the estuary and Pampas are more visually distinctive than the flat interior terrain seen from the right during landing.
What can I see during takeoff from Silvio Pettirossi International in Asuncion?
During takeoff from Silvio Pettirossi International (ASU), sit on the Right side for the best views. ASU typically departs eastbound (Runway 10/28, favoring 10 for prevailing winds). Right-side seats face south toward the Paraná River's wide meanders and the Paraguay River confluence, while left seats look north into featureless interior terrain. Notable sights include: Paraná River (broad, distinctive oxbow bends immediately south of airport), Paraguay River (western boundary, visible as darker water line), Asunción city grid (receding northward), Chaco region scrubland (flat, extending west).
What can I see when landing at Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini in Buenos Aires?
When landing at Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Left side for the best views. EZE approaches from the northeast (Runway 09/27, typically using 09 for westbound arrivals). Left-side seats face south and southwest toward the Río de la Plata estuary, the Pampas grasslands, and the approach path over Buenos Aires' southern suburbs. Right seats see only inland flat terrain. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata estuary (wide, silty brown water body, southern boundary of approach), Buenos Aires southern suburbs (La Matanza, Ezeiza districts—urban sprawl visible as grid), Pampas grasslands (flat, agricultural, extending west and south), Ezeiza airport itself (runway configuration visible at descent).

What does the Asuncion to Buenos Aires flight path pass over?
The flight path crosses the Paraná River valley southeastward, then transitions over the flat Mesopotamia region (Entre Ríos province) with scattered agricultural fields and small rivers (Gualeguay, Gualeguaychú). No significant mountains or dramatic terrain. The landscape remains uniformly flat until the final approach to the Río de la Plata estuary. The Paraná River itself remains visible from altitude for roughly the first 30 minutes of flight as a dark, winding line marking the Paraguay-Argentina border.
