Explanation

The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, allowing ships to bypass traveling around South America. Routes like New York to San Francisco or Sydney pass through the canal as they move from Atlantic to Pacific. However, New York to Buenos Aires is entirely within the Atlantic Ocean (both cities are on the Atlantic coast), so this route does not use the canal.
