Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Puerto Escondido to Denver. The left side wins overall because the Denver approach delivers one of the most spectacular arrivals in North America — the full Front Range panorama. The takeoff view from the right is excellent but shorter-lived. For the bulk of the flight northward over Mexico and the American Southwest, the left side also tracks closer to the Sierra Madre Occidental and the high desert terrain of Chihuahua and New Mexico.

During takeoff from Puerto Escondido (PXM), sit on the Right side for the best views. Puerto Escondido's runway is oriented roughly east-west. Departing westbound toward the north, the right side faces south over the Pacific Ocean and the dramatic Oaxacan coastline. You get a clear view of the beach town, the surf breaks at Zicatela, and the Pacific stretching to the horizon. Notable sights include: Zicatela Beach surf break, Puerto Escondido bay and lagoon, Pacific Ocean coastline, Sierra Sur de Oaxaca foothills.

When landing at Denver International (DEN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Denver International sits east of the city, and aircraft typically approach from the east or southeast on runways oriented northwest. On the left side during approach you get a sweeping view of the Denver metro grid, the South Platte River corridor, and the entire Front Range of the Rockies — including Pikes Peak to the south and Longs Peak to the north — lined up along the western horizon. Notable sights include: Denver metro skyline, Front Range Rocky Mountains (including Pikes Peak and Longs Peak), South Platte River, Rocky Mountain foothills.

The flight from Puerto Escondido (PXM) to Denver International (DEN) takes Approximately 4 to 4.5 hours.

The flight tracks north-northwest over the Sierra Sur de Oaxaca, then crosses the Sierra Madre del Sur and the high central plateau of Mexico. Over Chihuahua state the terrain is high desert basin and range. Crossing into New Mexico and Colorado, the Rio Grande valley and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains become visible on the left, followed by the San Luis Valley — a broad flat basin flanked by the Sangre de Cristos to the east and the San Juan Mountains to the west — before the final descent onto the Colorado plains toward Denver.
