Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Manila to Buenos Aires. While the right side wins at takeoff for Manila's eastern geography, the left side delivers the more dramatic arrival sequence over the Rio de la Plata and Buenos Aires. On a very long routing that crosses the Pacific or transits via North America, the left side also tends to face the Pacific Ocean for much of the journey, offering open water views rather than the right side's more featureless perspectives. The Buenos Aires arrival on the left is the single most visually rewarding moment of the flight.

During takeoff from Ninoy Aquino International (MNL), sit on the Right side for the best views. NAIA's primary departure runway 06 sends aircraft northeast over Manila Bay on the left, but a right-side seat captures the dense urban sprawl of Metro Manila, Laguna de Bay (one of Southeast Asia's largest lakes), and the Sierra Madre mountain range rising to the east. Runway 24 departures heading southwest give the right side a clear view back over Manila Bay and Cavite province. Notable sights include: Laguna de Bay, Sierra Madre mountain range, Metro Manila urban grid, Manila Bay shoreline.

When landing at Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Ezeiza airport sits southwest of Buenos Aires, and aircraft typically land on runway 11 heading southeast or runway 29 heading northwest. On approach from the north, the left side captures the Rio de la Plata estuary, the Buenos Aires city skyline, and the flat Pampas stretching to the horizon. The right side faces mostly featureless agricultural land. Notable sights include: Rio de la Plata estuary, Buenos Aires city skyline and port district, Pampas agricultural grid, Riachuelo river mouth.

The flight from Ninoy Aquino International (MNL) to Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) takes Approximately 22-26 hours with one or two stops, as no airline operates this route nonstop. Common connections are via Los Angeles, Dallas, or Madrid..

Depending on routing: Pacific Ocean crossing with occasional island chains (Hawaii or central Pacific atolls visible on clear days), the Andes mountain range if routing via South America's west coast, the Amazon basin rainforest canopy visible as an unbroken green carpet, and the vast flat Pampas of Argentina on descent. A trans-Pacific routing may pass near the Galapagos Islands at distance.
