Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic verticality of the Andes at departure and the iconic chain of volcanoes through Central America.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Andes Mountains

Incredible views of the rugged, high-altitude peaks and deep valleys shortly after takeoff from Lima.

🌋

Central American Volcanoes

A series of perfectly shaped volcanic cones visible while overflying Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala.

🏙️

Guatemala City

The sprawling highland capital nestled among mountains is often visible during the transition to the Caribbean.

🏢

Dallas Skyline

Excellent views of the Reunion Tower and the downtown DFW skyline during the standard arrival patterns.

🌿

Chiapas Highlands

The lush, mountainous terrain of southern Mexico provides a vibrant green tapestry below.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best views of the Andes, try to book a morning flight when the air is clearest. Keep your eyes peeled as you pass Guatemala for active volcanoes venting steam.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

Stunning views of the open ocean and the dramatic interface where the Peruvian desert meets the sea.

🏝️

Nicoya Peninsula

Aerial views of Costa Rica's lush western coastline and tropical bays during the mid-flight segment.

Choose the left side for afternoon or evening departures to enjoy the sunset. During the initial climb, look down for the coastal fog known as Garúa that often blankets the Lima shoreline.
