Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from New York to Buenos Aires. While takeoff favors the right, the landing view from the left is exceptional—the Río de la Plata estuary is one of the world's largest and most visually distinctive estuaries, and the approach descent provides unobstructed views. The takeoff view, though good, is secondary to this dramatic arrival.

During takeoff from La Guardia (LGA), sit on the Right side for the best views. LGA typically departs eastbound (Runways 04/22, with 04 favored for eastbound traffic). Right-side seats offer views of the East River, Manhattan's eastern edge, and the Atlantic coastline as you climb out over Queens and Long Island. Notable sights include: East River (directly below during initial climb), Manhattan's skyline (to the left/west, receding), Long Island Sound (northeast horizon), Atlantic Ocean (southeast, appearing as the horizon line).

When landing at Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Left side for the best views. EZE (Ezeiza) is located southwest of Buenos Aires. Approach typically comes from the northeast, descending over the Río de la Plata estuary. Left-side seats provide views of the massive estuary, the city of Buenos Aires proper, and the approach path over the water before landing. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata estuary (dominant water feature, muddy brown color), Buenos Aires city grid (visible as urban sprawl to the north), Paraná River delta (northeast, appearing as a braided waterway system), flat pampas landscape (surrounding terrain, extending to the horizon).

The flight from La Guardia (LGA) to Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) takes Approximately 10 hours 15 minutes to 10 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 5,000 nautical miles. Notable features include: the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (not visible from cruise altitude, but the flight passes over it around 6-7 hours out); the Sargasso Sea (featureless from altitude); the coast of Brazil (if visible during daylight, appears as a thin green line on the horizon around 8-9 hours into flight); and the approach to South America, where the Paraná River delta becomes visible as a braided waterway system before reaching the Río de la Plata estuary.
