Right side wins at both ends of the flight. At departure you get the Singapore city skyline and strait, and at arrival you get the Rio de la Plata and Buenos Aires. The long overwater and Pampas cruise sections offer little differentiation mid-flight, so the bookend views are the deciding factor.
Flight Path
The route typically passes over the Indian Ocean south of Sri Lanka, crosses the southern Indian Ocean at high southern latitudes, passes near or over South Africa or the Cape of Good Hope region, then crosses the South Atlantic Ocean. If routing via Johannesburg, the Drakensberg escarpment and South African highveld are visible. The South Atlantic offers occasional views of remote island groups like Tristan da Cunha far below. The final approach crosses the flat Pampas of Argentina with the Rio de la Plata estuary as the landmark arrival feature.
