Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Rio De Janeiro to Buenos Aires. While takeoff favors the right for Guanabara Bay views, the landing approach over the Río de la Plata estuary and Buenos Aires waterfront from the left is more visually rewarding and represents the more dramatic portion of the flight. Left seats capture both the approach geography and the destination city's distinctive waterfront character.

During takeoff from Galeao Antonio Carlos Jobim (GIG), sit on the Right side for the best views. GIG typically departs to the north or northeast. Right-side seats offer views of Guanabara Bay's eastern shoreline and the Serra da Carioca mountain range as the aircraft climbs. Left seats face inland toward the city's western sprawl with less dramatic topography. Notable sights include: Guanabara Bay (immediate offshore waters), Serra da Carioca (mountain ridge to the northeast), Niterói city across the bay, Christ the Redeemer statue area (visible as terrain feature on distant ridgeline).

When landing at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), sit on the Left side for the best views. AEP approaches from the east or northeast over the Río de la Plata estuary. Left-side seats provide views of the wide brown waters of the estuary, the city's waterfront districts, and the approach path over the river. Right seats face inland toward the city's interior with less distinctive visual reference. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata estuary (wide muddy-brown waters), Puerto Madero district (modern waterfront development), La Boca neighborhood (colorful historic area on the river), Palermo and central Buenos Aires grid pattern.

The flight from Galeao Antonio Carlos Jobim (GIG) to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the interior of southern Brazil and northern Argentina. Notable features include the Paraná Plateau's edge (visible as terrain elevation changes around 1.5 hours into flight), the Paraná River valley system (wide river visible from altitude around 1 hour 45 minutes), and the transition from subtropical Brazilian terrain to the flatter Pampas grasslands of Argentina. The landscape gradually flattens as the aircraft approaches Buenos Aires, with agricultural grid patterns becoming visible in the final 30 minutes of descent.
