About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from El Plumerillo (MDZ) to Ambrosio L V Taravella (COR)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Mendoza to Cordoba. Left side scores marginally higher due to superior takeoff scenery from Mendoza, where the Pre-Cordillera foothills and valley geography provide immediate visual interest. While landing views are comparable on both sides, the dramatic departure from a mountain-valley airport outweighs the slightly better approach into Córdoba. This is a short, relatively flat route overall—neither side offers exceptional views, but left captures the only significant terrain feature of the flight.
