The right side is highly recommended for the approach into MTY. For the best experience, try to book an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, perfectly illuminating the eastern face of the Sierra Madre and Cerro de la Silla. During the descent, keep your camera ready as the plane usually banks right, providing a perfect frame of the city's mountain-ringed skyline.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. It provides a great perspective of the vastness of the Mexican Plateau and the industrial heart of San Luis Potosí. During sunset flights, this side catches the golden hour glow on the western slopes of the Sierra Madre.
