While left offers better takeoff views of Buenos Aires, right provides superior landing scenery over Singapore's straits and harbor. For a 19-hour flight, the landing experience carries more weight since you'll be fresher and more attentive. Right also captures the dramatic transition from open ocean to one of Asia's most distinctive cityscapes.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the South Atlantic, passes over central Africa (Sahara, Congo Basin, East African highlands visible on clear days), crosses the Indian Ocean, and approaches Southeast Asia. Notable midpoint landmarks include the Atlas Mountains (Morocco/Algeria), the Nile River valley, the East African Rift Valley, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Himalayas' southern foothills. The Indian Ocean crossing offers minimal landmarks but dramatic open-water views. Timing and weather determine visibility of these features.
