About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from San Carlos De Bariloche (BRC) to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP)?
Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from San Carlos De Bariloch to Buenos Aires. While takeoff favors left seats for Andean views, the landing approach over Buenos Aires and the Río de la Plata estuary from the right side provides the more dramatic and geographically significant views. The landing sequence offers better urban geography context.
What can I see during takeoff from San Carlos De Bariloche in San Carlos De Bariloch?

What does the San Carlos De Bariloch to Buenos Aires flight path pass over?
The flight path crosses the Patagonian steppe eastward from Bariloche, passing over the Río Negro valley and gradually transitioning to flatter terrain. Around the midpoint (near Viedma/Carmen de Patagones area), the landscape shifts from Patagonian grassland to more developed agricultural regions. The final 90 minutes follow the eastern approach toward the Buenos Aires region, with the Río de la Plata estuary becoming visible approximately 30 minutes before landing. No major mountain ranges are visible during the cruise phase—the route stays east of the Andes.
