Flight Path

Flight path overview

The route tracks south-southeast over South Carolina and Georgia, crosses the Caribbean near Cuba or Hispaniola, transits Venezuela and Colombia airspace, crosses the vast Amazon basin with its river network visible on clear days, then tracks over central Brazil's cerrado plateau before descending into the Pampas of Argentina. The Amazon River tributaries and the broad brown Río de la Plata estuary on descent are the most visually striking geographic features of the cruise phase.
