Buenos Aires to Brasilia is 1,465 miles (2,358 km), a flight of about 3 hours 15 minutes.
Takeoff from Buenos Aires favors the right for estuary and city views; landing into Brasilia strongly favors the left for the city's iconic modernist layout and Lago Paranoá. If forced to choose one seat for the entire flight, left offers the more distinctive arrival experience.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Paraná River valley and its extensive delta system (visible around 1 hour into flight), then transitions over the state of São Paulo's interior plateau with scattered towns and agricultural zones. The terrain gradually becomes flatter and transitions to the cerrado biome as the aircraft approaches Brasilia. The Paraná River itself is a major landmark visible from altitude during the northern portion of the flight, appearing as a wide, meandering waterway with distinctive bends.
