Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Zurich to Buenos Aires. The left side captures the spectacular Alpine departure over Lake Zurich and the Glarus Alps, which is the visual highlight of the journey. The landing views are good on the right but the flat pampas approach is less dramatic. Left also offers Atlantic Ocean views during the long overwater crossing and glimpses of the Brazilian coast near Rio de Janeiro.

During takeoff from Zurich (ZRH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Zurich typically departs on runway 16 heading south or runway 28 heading west. A southbound departure on runway 16 gives left-side passengers a clear view over Lake Zurich stretching southeast, with the Glarus Alps rising beyond. The city center and Zurichsee are unmistakable from this angle. Notable sights include: Lake Zurich (Zürichsee), Glarus Alps, Zurich city center, Lake Walen (Walensee) in the distance.

When landing at Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Ezeiza typically lands on runway 11 heading east-southeast or runway 29 heading west. On the common eastward approach to runway 11, right-side passengers look north toward Buenos Aires city, the Rio de la Plata estuary, and the sprawling suburban grid of Greater Buenos Aires. The wide brown expanse of the Plata is one of the most visually striking features on approach. Notable sights include: Rio de la Plata estuary, Buenos Aires city skyline, suburban grid of Greater Buenos Aires, Riachuelo river winding through southern Buenos Aires.

The flight from Zurich (ZRH) to Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) takes Approximately 13 to 14 hours.

The route tracks southwest over the Alps, then across the Mediterranean near the Balearic Islands, over the Sahara Desert in Algeria and Mali, crosses the equator over the Atlantic Ocean west of the Gulf of Guinea, passes near the Brazilian coast around Recife and Salvador, then crosses the vast cerrado and agricultural interior of Brazil before descending over the Argentine pampas toward Buenos Aires. The Sahara's sand seas and the Atlantic's deep blue are the dominant midpoint visuals.
