🛬 Landing at Chihuahua (CUU)

Best sideRight
WhyLanding on 18L means you're flying south with the Sierra Madre Occidental foothills and rugged high-desert terrain visible off the right side as you descend. The left side mostly shows flat scrubland and the eastern edge of the Chihuahua desert basin, which is less visually interesting. City views of Chihuahua itself become visible from both sides closer to touchdown, but the western terrain makes the right side the better pick overall.
