Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Foz Do Iguacu to Santiago. While takeoff offers river scenery, the landing approach over the Andes is geographically more dramatic and reliable. Left seats capture the full Cordillera de los Andes' eastern face during descent—a world-class mountain view that dominates the final 45 minutes of flight.

During takeoff from Cataratas International (IGU), sit on the Right side for the best views. IGU typically departs to the north or northeast. Right-side seats offer views of the Paraná River's dramatic curves and the triple border region where Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay meet. The river's distinctive meanders are striking from altitude. Notable sights include: Paraná River (with visible oxbow bends), Iguazu Falls area (upstream, smaller from altitude), Argentina-Brazil border line following the river, Puerto Iguazú settlement on the Argentine side.

When landing at Arturo Merino Benitez International (SCL), sit on the Left side for the best views. SCL approaches from the north or northeast, descending over the Andes foothills. Left-side seats provide direct views of the Cordillera de los Andes' dramatic eastern escarpment, with snow-capped peaks visible on clear days. The descent path crosses the pre-Andean valleys where Santiago sits. Notable sights include: Cordillera de los Andes (main range with visible peaks), Aconcagua region to the north (highest peak in the Americas, often snow-covered), Central Valley floor where Santiago sprawls, Maipo River valley cutting through the foothills.

The flight from Cataratas International (IGU) to Arturo Merino Benitez International (SCL) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Misiones Province of Argentina (dense subtropical forest), then transitions over the Chaco region (semi-arid scrubland and grassland visible as lighter-colored terrain), before climbing into the Andean foothills. The Paraguay River is visible from altitude in the northern portion of the route. The transition from subtropical green to arid brown landscape is striking around the midpoint, roughly over northern Argentina near the Formosa Province.
