Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lima to Portland. Right seats capture the dramatic Cascade Range and Mount Hood on approach into Portland, which is the most visually distinctive segment of this route. The takeoff over Lima's Pacific cliffs is secondary to the volcanic landscape reward on arrival.
