I really liked the flight scene. It's visually brilliant and Snyder was the first to showcase sheer power in Superman's flight.
That being said, for me personally, it has nothing on the helicopter scene from STM, the fire sequence from SIII and the plane sequence from SR.
You're comparing first flight to first rescues. The more apt comparison to the other movies would be Cavill's Clark saving people at the oil rig. He doesn't fly in it, but the spirit and nature of that scene is closer to the ones you're describing, and those ones have an extra thrill because he's in the act of using his powers to save lives. The flight scene was just that: a scene of showing off powers. The Donner equivalent would probably be young Clark running past the train.
