Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Chicago. While takeoff offers interesting views of Buenos Aires and the estuary, the landing approach into Chicago provides more dramatic scenery with Lake Michigan and the city skyline. The right side captures both the natural feature (the lake) and the urban landmark (downtown) in a single view.

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 northwestward. You'll see the city's grid pattern and the wide brown waters of the estuary stretching toward the horizon. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata estuary, Buenos Aires city grid, Paraná River delta (distant), Atlantic coastal plains.

When landing at Chicago Midway International (MDW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago shoreline during approach from the southeast. You'll see the lake's blue expanse, the downtown skyline, and the grid of the city's neighborhoods as you descend toward Midway. Notable sights include: Lake Michigan, Chicago downtown skyline, Chicago River, residential grid of southwest Chicago.

The flight from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) to Chicago Midway International (MDW) takes Approximately 9.5 to 10.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean, then passes over the Caribbean region and the southeastern United States. Notable features include the Bahamas (shallow turquoise banks visible at lower altitudes), the Florida peninsula, and the Mississippi River valley. Over the central US, you may see the Appalachian Mountains (distant ridgelines) and the Great Lakes region as you approach the Midwest. Most of the transatlantic and Caribbean portions occur at cruise altitude (30,000+ feet) where individual landmarks are small; the most visually interesting segment is the final 1.5 hours approaching North America.
