Flying over the Perito Moreno Glacier

A few scenes that we will never forget: Looking down from the window of our Aerolineas Argentinas Boeing 737 to see a magnificent view of Perito Moreno after taking off from El Calafate.

Moments after take off, we heard the pilot announce in Spanish that passengers could see the Perito Moreno Glacier outside their window. It happened to be on the other side of the aircraft. We could see people craning over and peering out of their windows on the right hand side of the plane with excited cheers coming forth. We sat there cursing our luck.

And then the gentleman in the cockpit announced something in Spanish and swung the plane over for another pass over Perito Moreno! It was very nice of the captain to let us enjoy the view!
