The right side wins both ends of the flight. At takeoff you get the Rio de la Plata and Buenos Aires, and on landing you get Fort Worth and the Trinity River. During the long overwater cruise the view is largely ocean regardless of side, but the right side also offers slightly better angles over the Caribbean coastline and Gulf of Mexico as the route curves northward.
