Buenos Aires to Sydney flight path: EZE to SYD

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Buenos Aires to Sydney. The right side wins narrowly because the Andes and Patagonian terrain on departure are more visually dramatic and geologically distinct than the ocean view on that side, while the long mid-Pacific cruise is scenically neutral on both sides. Both sides are otherwise dominated by many hours of open Southern Ocean with no landmarks.

During takeoff from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Right side for the best views. The great-circle routing from Buenos Aires to Sydney runs south-southwest across Argentina before angling out over the South Pacific, so shortly after departure the aircraft crosses Patagonia and the southern Andes. Passengers on the right side get a clear view of the snow-capped Andean cordillera and Patagonian steppe before the terrain gives way to open ocean. Notable sights include: Southern Andes cordillera, Patagonian steppe, Rio Negro/Neuquen river valleys, Argentine Pampas fading behind.

When landing at Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD), sit on the Left side for the best views. On a typical North Plan arrival into Sydney, the aircraft tracks up the coast and turns onto final for runway 34L, putting the city skyline, Sydney Harbour, and the Blue Mountains on the western (left) side. This gives a strong final impression compared to the plain Pacific coastline visible on the right. Notable sights include: Sydney Harbour Bridge and CBD skyline, Botany Bay, Blue Mountains escarpment, Parramatta River.

The flight from Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) to Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD) takes 15h 25m.

Remote South Pacific Ocean at high southern latitude, well south of French Polynesia and New Zealand, with no islands or landmasses along the direct routing
