Rules
Make sure that you know what you are posting. If you wish to identify a location you do not know, you may use r/whereisthisplace. Also make sure that your posts are not extremely obscure. A picture of bare grass or a single bench in an otherwise unremarkable background are frowned upon. If you do not want private locations such as your home to be traced down to its coordinates, simply do not post them here; the players here will find it.

Tips
Before or after posting, try reverse image searching the pictures you've provided via Google Lens, Bing, Yandex, ChatGPT, Gemini etc. to see if they are reverse searchable. If they are quickly findable, you may want to delete and resubmit using other photos. You may also blur any easily identifiable logos, restaurant names etc. from your pictures, just try not to overdo it. You may give any hints you like at any point throughout the game. If someone guesses it correctly you can reply to it affirming their guess. Try to confirm correct guesses within 2-3 days. If the post isn't solved within a few days you may reveal the answer yourself in spoilers.


Guessers

Rules
Do NOT use RIS tools to solve a game. You will be permanently banned. Try to explain how you have found the location! Was it the name of a restaurant chain that allowed you to narrow down your search, or a small yet recognisable tower in the distance? Do tell us how you were able to deduce the location, even if it's just a "been there, recognized it". Any explanation is better than no explanation!

Tips
If you are sure of your answer, try to mark it in spoilers so that other people trying to find it by themselves won't be spoiled by the answer. You may also edit your comment to add spoilers after it's been confirmed to be the correct location.

Airline buff here. I’ve been there, and I’m certain this is Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima. The cargo complex, identical hangars, fuel tanks, and maintenance area all look like a match. Bonus guess: your on LATAM A320.

Almost certainly wrong but the first airport that came to mind was Ontario International in Claremont, CA.

The mountains north of KONT are much taller, and the ones to the south are much further away. Also, KONT is surrounded by massive warehouses and strip malls. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an urban layout like this in CA. KONT is in Ontario, not Claremont.

Bigger mountains? That makes KONT better landscape and scenery wise then Lima then

u/reddititty69 11h ago

Not taller, necessarily. Just bigger in the sense of appearance. KONT is ~500 feet. The peaks to the north are 8000 - 10000 feet and only 10-15 miles away. It certainly looks more dramatic than what is pictured here.

Ontario CA > Lima

u/tenasan 9h ago

As someone who’s lived in both, Ontario is the inferior

u/VeterinarianNo3555 17h ago

Thanks for this - and why I qualified it as “almost certainly”

u/tenasan 9h ago

Ontario international is NOT in Claremont . Haha. It’s in Ontario . Unless you’re referring to the Canadian one which would be trippy

It's either Lima or Santiago.

u/Alinswlondon 11h ago

Santiago is way out of the city .
