They would fly high, out of sight, then drop down at the mouth of mt. doom. It's not like there were guards there (that we know of).
Because once they got low enough to be spotted in Mordor I'd assume the whole party would be confronted by Nazgul and Orcs alike. No way they could just sneak in there without being seen.
Same reason why they wouldn't drop them off at the Lonely Mountain, presumably they want nothing to do with Smaug.
Plus let's assume they're like actual eagles, they have a limit to how high they can go.

we can't just assume things to help make your points when we KNOW they aren't like actual eagles.
