Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Buenos Aires. While takeoff favors left seats, the landing view from the right is significantly more dramatic—the approach over the Río de la Plata estuary and final descent to Ezeiza outweighs the London departure. The landing experience is the more memorable segment of this 11-hour flight.

During takeoff from City (LCY), sit on the Left side for the best views. LCY typically departs runway 27 (westbound). Left seats face north during initial climb, giving views of the Thames, central London landmarks, and the North London suburbs. Right seats face south toward suburban sprawl with less distinctive features. Notable sights include: River Thames (snaking through London below), City of London financial district (cluster of tall buildings), Canary Wharf (distinctive pyramid-topped tower), North London residential areas extending toward Hertfordshire.

When landing at Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Right side for the best views. EZE uses runway 09 (eastbound approach from the Atlantic). Right seats face south during descent, providing views of the Río de la Plata estuary, the approach path over water, and the Buenos Aires waterfront. Left seats face north over inland suburbs with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata estuary (wide muddy-brown waterway), Buenos Aires waterfront and port facilities, Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (smaller airport visible on approach), Ezeiza International Airport runways and taxiways.

The flight from City (LCY) to Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) takes Approximately 11 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Bay of Biscay (rough Atlantic waters visible in early stages), then proceeds southwest over the Atlantic Ocean for the majority of the journey. No significant landmasses are visible for roughly 8 hours of flight time. As the aircraft approaches South America, the Brazilian coast becomes visible on the horizon (typically around 2 hours before landing), with the approach to Buenos Aires bringing views of the Paraná River delta and eventually the Río de la Plata estuary.
