Which side of the plane to sit from José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (Guayaquil) to Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side (East) is superior for this south-bound flight because it offers breathtaking views of the rising Andes mountains and the dramatic contrast between the high-altitude peaks and the narrow coastal deserts of Peru.
