Windsor Locks to Buenos Aires is 5,379 miles (8,656 km), a flight of about 10 hours.
Left seats capture the departure from New England's river valleys and forests, then dominate the approach into Buenos Aires over the Río de la Plata and city proper. The landing view is significantly more dramatic and geographically distinctive than takeoff.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 5,000 nautical miles. Notable waypoints include: passage south of Bermuda (visible only on night flights as lights on the horizon), the Mid-Atlantic Ridge area (no surface features visible at cruise altitude), and approach to South America via the Brazilian coast near Rio Grande do Sul before turning toward Buenos Aires. The Paraná River system becomes visible during descent into Argentina, appearing as a braided network of waterways and islands in the flat landscape north of Buenos Aires.
