Cancun Hotel Zone
Aerial perspective of the turquoise Caribbean waters and the narrow strip of luxury resorts separating the sea from the lagoon.
Sierra Madre Oriental
The plane crosses over the rugged mountain chain, providing views of steep, forested ridges and hidden valleys.
Central Highlands
A patchwork of agricultural fields and high-altitude plateaus typical of central Mexico.
Torreon Cityscape
Direct views of the urban grid of the Comarca Lagunera during the final approach into TRC.
For morning departures, the left side will experience direct sunlight; use a window shade or sunglasses to enjoy the turquoise water views. During the descent into Torreon, watch for the Nazas River bed, which is usually dry but clearly defines the border between Coahuila and Durango.

Isla Mujeres
Depending on the departure path, look north to see the vibrant reefs surrounding this popular island destination.
The Gulf of Mexico
A long stretch of deep blue water as the flight traverses the southern portion of the Gulf toward the mainland.
Tampico Shoreline
The point of landfall where the Gulf of Mexico meets the industrial ports and the mouth of the Pánuco River.
Coahuila Desert
The landscape shifts into an arid, rocky desert environment with unique geological formations as you enter the northern interior.
The right side is ideal for photographers on morning flights because the sun will be behind the plane, reducing glare on the window. Look for the Laguna Madre along the coast shortly before the plane moves over the mountainous interior of northern Mexico.
