Buenos Aires to Windsor Locks is 5,379 miles (8,656 km), a flight of about 10 hours 15 minutes.
Right-side seats offer superior scenery for both departure and arrival. The takeoff provides extended views of the Río de la Plata and Buenos Aires, while the landing showcases the Connecticut River valley and New England forests—both visually distinctive and geographically significant features of their respective regions.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 5,000 nautical miles. Over the ocean, there are no significant visual landmarks from cruise altitude. The aircraft will pass south of Bermuda (not visible from typical cruise altitude of 35,000+ feet). As the flight approaches the North American continent, the eastern seaboard becomes visible, with the Appalachian Mountains appearing as a linear ridge system running northeast-southwest across the landscape. The Hudson River valley and New York metropolitan area may be visible if the approach vector allows, though the final descent into Bradley typically approaches from the north or northwest, making the Connecticut River valley the primary visual feature during the final 30-40 minutes of flight.
