Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Melbourne to Buenos Aires. While left seats dominate the takeoff, right seats capture the more visually distinctive landing approach over the Río de la Plata and Buenos Aires' geometric urban landscape. The landing views are more dramatic and memorable than the takeoff.

During takeoff from Melbourne International (MEL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats offer views of Port Phillip Bay and the Dandenong Ranges as the aircraft climbs northwestward from Melbourne. Right seats face inland toward less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Port Phillip Bay (water body immediately west of airport), Dandenong Ranges (forested ridge visible to the northeast), Melbourne CBD skyline (receding southeastward), Western suburbs sprawl.

When landing at Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats provide views of the Río de la Plata estuary and Buenos Aires' urban grid as the aircraft descends from the northeast. The river's distinctive muddy-brown color and the city's geometric street layout are striking from altitude. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata estuary (massive brown-water body), Buenos Aires urban grid (geometric street pattern), Pampas grassland (flat terrain extending westward), Paraná River delta (wetland complex to the north).

The flight from Melbourne International (MEL) to Ezeiza Ministro Pistarini (EZE) takes 14h 15m.

The flight crosses the Indian Ocean for approximately 7 hours, passing south of the Chagos Archipelago and Mauritius (not visible at cruise altitude). It then crosses southern Africa, with views of the Kalahari Desert, Botswana's flat terrain, and potentially the Orange River valley depending on exact routing. The aircraft then crosses the South Atlantic for the final 5+ hours with no significant landmarks visible until approaching South America.
