Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Santiago to Puerto Montt. While the takeoff offers excellent Andes views, the landing approach provides more dramatic and distinctive scenery with two major volcanoes and a large glacial lake system. The volcanic landscape is more visually striking and geographically unique to this specific route.

During takeoff from Arturo Merino Benitez International (SCL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats face west and northwest during the initial climb-out from SCL, offering direct views of the Andes cordillera as the aircraft gains altitude. The western exposure captures the dramatic escarpment and snow-capped peaks that dominate the Santiago basin's western horizon. Notable sights include: Andes Mountains (main cordillera), Santiago metropolitan area sprawl, Maipo River valley, pre-Andean foothills.

When landing at El Tepual International (PMC), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats face east during the final approach into PMC, providing views of the Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes and the Llanquihue Lake basin. The eastern approach vector aligns perfectly with the dramatic volcanic landscape that defines the Puerto Montt region. Notable sights include: Osorno Volcano (2,652 m, snow-capped cone), Calbuco Volcano, Llanquihue Lake, Reloncaví Estuary.

The flight from Arturo Merino Benitez International (SCL) to El Tepual International (PMC) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path travels south-southwest from Santiago through the Central Valley, crossing the Andes foothills and entering the Lake District region. Notable midpoint features include the Biobío River valley (visible around 30 minutes into flight), the transition from Mediterranean to temperate climate zones marked by increasing forest coverage, and views of the Nahuelbuta Mountains to the east. The descent into Puerto Montt crosses multiple smaller lakes and rivers of the Los Lagos region before reaching the Reloncaví Estuary.
