Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lima to Punta Arenas. Right seats dominate this route. Takeoff offers unobstructed Andes views for the first 90 minutes of flight, and the southern Patagonian landscape visible during cruise and descent is equally striking from either side—but the Andes departure is the premium scenic segment.

During takeoff from Jorge Chavez International (LIM), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Andes Mountains as the aircraft climbs southward from Lima. The spine of the cordillera runs roughly north-south, placing it directly on your right as you depart heading south. Left seats show only the Pacific Ocean. Notable sights include: Andes Mountains (eastern skyline during climb), Pacific coastline (western edge), Lima urban sprawl (receding northward), Callao port district (visible briefly to the northwest).

When landing at Carlos Ibanez Del Campo International (PUQ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best views during descent into Punta Arenas. The aircraft approaches from the north, and the Strait of Magellan—the defining geographic feature—lies to the west and south of the airport. Left seats face the strait, the Fuegian landscape, and the approach corridor. Notable sights include: Strait of Magellan (western approach), Tierra del Fuego's windswept steppe (southern terrain), Punta Arenas city and port (final descent), Brunswick Peninsula (northern shore of strait).

The flight from Jorge Chavez International (LIM) to Carlos Ibanez Del Campo International (PUQ) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the spine of the Andes at roughly 20,000–24,000 feet, passing over high-altitude desert and volcanic terrain in southern Peru and northern Chile. The Atacama Desert dominates the landscape between 18,000 and 22,000 feet of altitude for roughly 2 hours of flight. Around 2.5 hours into the flight, the terrain transitions from the Andes to the Patagonian steppe as the aircraft descends toward lower latitudes. The Sarmiento Lake region and various salt flats become visible in the final hour. No major rivers or lakes are prominently visible from cruise altitude along this route; the landscape is predominantly arid and high-altitude until the final descent into Punta Arenas.
