Australian Alps
Stunning views of Mount Kosciuszko and the snowy peaks of the Great Dividing Range immediately after takeoff.
Patagonian Fringe
On more southerly routes, catch a glimpse of the rugged, glaciated terrain of the southern Andes.
Aconcagua
The highest peak in the Southern Hemisphere is often visible to the north-west when crossing the range.
The Argentine Pampas
Infinite stretches of fertile grasslands and agricultural grids stretching toward the southern horizon.
Bauru Highlands
The rolling hills and citrus groves characteristic of the western São Paulo plateau during descent.
On the right side, you avoid the direct glare of the sun for much of the eastbound journey, which is better for photography. During the Andes crossing, the right side usually offers more rugged, jagged mountain scenery. Watch for the change in soil color to a deep red (Terra Roxa) as you enter the Bauru region, indicating the fertile volcanic earth.

Murray River Meanders
The complex winding patterns of Australia's longest river system shortly after departing Albury.
Sydney Coastline
If routing via Sydney, the left side offers views of the iconic harbor and northern beaches before heading east.
Central Andes Range
Dramatic views of the high-altitude volcanic peaks and ridges near the Chile-Argentina border.
Gran Chaco Region
The vast, sparsely populated forest and savanna region spanning across northern Argentina and Paraguay.
Paraná River Basin
A massive river system visible as the flight transitions from Paraguay into the state of São Paulo.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunrise if the flight is an eastbound overnight journey. It provides better views of the northern section of the Andes, which often features higher, flatter plateaus known as the Altiplano. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before crossing into Brazil for the best river views.
