Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copiapo to Santiago. While takeoff favors the right for desert and foothills views, the landing approach on the left provides superior scenery of the high Andes and Santiago's dramatic mountain setting. The left side captures the most visually striking portion of the flight.

During takeoff from Chamonate (CPO), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Andes foothills and the Atacama Desert terrain immediately south and east of Copiapo during climb-out. The left side faces inland toward barren plateau with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Andes Mountains (eastern horizon), Atacama Desert plains (foreground and right), Copiapo River valley (visible briefly below), coastal cordillera ridges (southeast).

When landing at Arturo Merino Benitez International (SCL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer views of the Andes cordillera and the Maipo River valley as the aircraft descends toward Santiago from the north. The right side faces toward the Pacific coastal range, which is less dramatic during final approach. Notable sights include: Andes Mountains (left, dominant), Maipo River valley (center-left during descent), Santiago urban sprawl (foreground as you descend), San Cristobal Hill and surrounding peaks (left side).

The flight from Chamonate (CPO) to Arturo Merino Benitez International (SCL) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path travels south-southwest over the Atacama Desert and lower Andes foothills. Midway, you'll pass over the Elqui River valley region and lower cordillera passes. The terrain transitions gradually from high desert to more vegetated foothills as you approach Santiago. The Aconcagua massif and surrounding high peaks remain visible to the east (left) throughout much of the flight, though they recede as you approach the capital.
