Riviera Maya Coastline
Stunning views of the turquoise Caribbean waters and the white sand beaches of the Mayan Riviera immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Mexico
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the aircraft crosses from the Yucatan Peninsula towards the mainland.
Pico de Orizaba
The highest mountain in Mexico, a massive snow-capped stratovolcano visible to the south of the flight path.
Popocatépetl & Iztaccíhuatl
The legendary 'Smoking Mountain' and 'Sleeping Woman' volcanoes offer a dramatic silhouette against the central Mexican sky.
Puebla Valley
Aerial perspective of the high-altitude plateau and the sprawling urban landscape of Puebla nestled between the mountains.
Choose the left side (Seat A) for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the volcanoes. The best views of the high peaks occur during the final 30-40 minutes of the flight. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Veracruz coast to catch the transition to the rugged Sierra Madre mountains.
