Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Santiago. While takeoff favors left seats for the Río de la Plata and Buenos Aires views, the landing approach to SCL offers the more dramatic and sustained visual experience—the Andes cordillera is one of the world's most spectacular mountain ranges and dominates the entire descent. Right seats capture this iconic view directly.

During takeoff from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Left side for the best views. EZE typically departs runway 09 (westbound). Left seats face north during initial climb, offering views of the Río de la Plata estuary and the Buenos Aires metropolitan area spreading inland. Right seats see only the flat pampas to the south. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata (wide brown estuary immediately below), Buenos Aires city grid (dense urban fabric with visible street patterns), Tigre Delta (intricate waterway network northeast), Pampas grasslands (flat terrain extending south and west).

When landing at Arturo Merino Benitez International (SCL), sit on the Right side for the best views. SCL typically lands runway 35L (northeast approach). Right seats face southeast during descent, providing direct views of the Andes cordillera rising dramatically from the central valley. Left seats see only the flat central valley floor. Notable sights include: Andes Mountains (snow-capped peaks dominating the eastern horizon), Santiago city basin (sprawling urban area in the valley floor), Maipo River valley (visible as a linear feature through the city), Aconcagua region (highest peaks visible on the horizon to the south).

The flight from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) to Arturo Merino Benitez International (SCL) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the flat pampas of Buenos Aires province, then enters the foothills of the Andes as it approaches Chile. The Aconcagua massif (6,961 m) becomes visible on the right side during the approach phase. The flight path follows a generally westward track, with the Andes growing progressively higher and more dramatic as you near Santiago. The central valley of Chile becomes visible about 30 minutes before landing, with the city of Santiago appearing as a haze in the valley floor before the final descent begins.
