Buenos Aires to Amsterdam flight path: EZE to AMS

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Amsterdam. The right side wins on the strength of its dramatic bookends: the Rio de la Plata and Buenos Aires at departure, and the Dutch coast and Amsterdam near arrival, while the long Atlantic crossing offers little differentiation between sides.

During takeoff from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing EZE toward the north, the right side offers a clear view of the Rio de la Plata estuary and the Buenos Aires skyline as the aircraft climbs out over the river before turning onto its oceanic track. The left side shows only the flat, featureless Pampas. Notable sights include: Rio de la Plata estuary, Buenos Aires skyline and port, Argentine Pampas horizon.

When landing at Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the descent into Schiphol from the southwest, the right side gives passengers a look at the Dutch coastline, the IJsselmeer's edge, and glimpses of Amsterdam's canal rings before the final turn onto the Polderbaan or Zwanenburgbaan. The left side mostly shows flat, repetitive polder farmland. Notable sights include: North Sea coastline, IJsselmeer, Amsterdam canal ring, Schiphol's polder runways.

The flight from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) to Schiphol (AMS) takes about 13 hours 20 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 7,122 miles (11,462 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Vast open Atlantic Ocean for several hours with no land visible, followed by landfall near the Iberian Peninsula's Atlantic coast before continuing over Spain and France.
