Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Cuenca to Guayaquil. Right-side seats capture the most dramatic scenery: the Andean ridgeline and high-altitude terrain during takeoff from Cuenca. While left-side landing views of the estuary are pleasant, the takeoff views are more visually striking and geographically distinctive.

During takeoff from Mariscal Lamar (CUE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Andes ridgeline and valleys immediately west of Cuenca during climb-out. The aircraft departs westbound toward Guayaquil, so right-side passengers see the dramatic terrain the plane is climbing over. Notable sights include: Eastern Cordillera peaks (3,500–4,200 m ridgeline), Tomebamba River valley below the airport, Cuenca city grid in the immediate foreground, high-altitude páramo grasslands stretching westward.

When landing at Simon Bolivar International (GYE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Guayas River estuary and mangrove wetlands as the aircraft descends into Guayaquil from the east. The approach path brings these water features directly into view on the left side during final descent. Notable sights include: Guayas River estuary with tidal mudflats and mangrove forests, Guayaquil city sprawl along the riverbanks, coastal plains and agricultural land east of the city, distant Pacific coastline on the western horizon.

The flight from Mariscal Lamar (CUE) to Simon Bolivar International (GYE) takes Approximately 45–55 minutes.

The flight path descends from the high Andes (3,000+ m) through the inter-Andean valley, crossing the Western Cordillera foothills. Midway, passengers see the transition from páramo grasslands to tropical forest and agricultural lowlands. The Cotopaxi volcanic region lies to the north (not directly on route but visible on clear days). The terrain progressively flattens as the aircraft approaches the coastal plain near Guayaquil. The Chimborazo massif may be visible to the north on exceptionally clear days, though it is not directly on the standard flight path.
