Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Washington. While left offers good Buenos Aires departure views, right side dominates the longer descent phase with the visually striking Appalachian Mountains and Shenandoah Valley—the most dramatic terrain on this entire transatlantic route.

During takeoff from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers views of the Río de la Plata estuary and the Buenos Aires metropolitan area as the aircraft climbs northeastward. Right side faces inland toward flat pampas with minimal visual interest during initial climb. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata (wide brown estuary), Buenos Aires city grid and port facilities, Tigre Delta wetlands to the north.

When landing at Washington Dulles International (IAD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides views of the Appalachian Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley as the aircraft descends into Washington Dulles from the west. Left side faces the Piedmont plateau with fewer distinctive visual features during final approach. Notable sights include: Blue Ridge Mountains (part of the Appalachian chain), Shenandoah Valley, Potomac River valley, Washington DC metropolitan area sprawl.

The flight from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) to Washington Dulles International (IAD) takes 9h 15m.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for approximately 5,000 nautical miles with no significant visible landmarks during the oceanic cruise phase. The route typically follows a great circle path northeast from Buenos Aires, passing over the South Atlantic with no islands or land features visible. Upon approaching North America, the aircraft would pass over the Carolinas and Virginia piedmont before descending into Washington Dulles.
