About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) to Schiphol (AMS)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Amsterdam. The right side delivers the dramatic Buenos Aires and Río de la Plata departure view, which is genuinely spectacular. The landing view on the left into Amsterdam is excellent but the Dutch polder landscape, while distinctive, is subtler. The takeoff spectacle tips the balance to the right side overall.

What can I see during takeoff from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini in Buenos Aires?
