Flight Path
Buenos Aires to Boston is 5,391 miles (8,676 km), a flight of about 11 hours.
The flight path crosses the South Atlantic, passing east of the Caribbean islands and north of the Azores. Over the Atlantic, there are no visible landmarks from cruise altitude (typically 35,000-41,000 feet)—only open ocean. As the aircraft approaches North America, it passes over or near Newfoundland and the Canadian Maritimes before descending toward New England. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and deep ocean basins are not visible from passenger windows. The most notable geographic transition occurs when land becomes visible again approaching the North American continent, with the Nova Scotia coastline and New England appearing on the horizon during descent.
