Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bombay to Buenos Aires. The landing view over the Río de la Plata estuary and delta is more visually distinctive than the takeoff. While the Western Ghats departure is dramatic, the approach into Buenos Aires offers sustained views of a major geographical feature (the estuary) and urban landmarks. Left side captures both.

During takeoff from Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM), sit on the Right side for the best views. BOM typically departs eastbound (runways 09L/09R). Right-side seats face toward the Western Ghats and inland plateau as you climb, offering dramatic escarpment views. Left side shows the Arabian Sea but it's relatively featureless at altitude. Notable sights include: Western Ghats mountain range (escarpment edge running north-south), Thane creek and mangrove wetlands to the northeast, Mumbai urban sprawl transitioning to agricultural plains, Sahyadri plateau rising inland.

When landing at Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Left side for the best views. EZE approaches from the east over the Río de la Plata estuary (runways 09/27, typically 09 for easterly approaches). Left-side seats face the wide estuary, the Paraná River delta, and the approach path over water. Right side shows only the flat pampas inland. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata estuary (wide muddy waterway), Paraná River delta with its intricate island network, Buenos Aires urban waterfront and Puerto Madero district, Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (smaller airport visible on the northern shore).

The flight from Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM) to Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) takes Approximately 18-19 hours (including typical routing via Middle East or Africa).

Flight path crosses the Arabian Sea, then the Arabian Peninsula (Oman/UAE region visible on some routing), the Indian Ocean, East African coast (Kenya/Tanzania), crosses central Africa, then the South Atlantic. Notable midpoint sightings depend on routing: Red Sea, Horn of Africa, or direct trans-Indian Ocean paths. The South Atlantic crossing offers open ocean with occasional weather systems visible. Approaching South America, the Brazilian coast (if routed via South America) or direct descent into the Río de la Plata estuary.
