Dallas Skyline
Clear views of the DFW metroplex and downtown skyscrapers during the initial climb.
Port of Houston
One of the world's busiest shipping hubs visible as the plane crosses the Texas coast.
Yucatan Jungle
A vast expanse of dense tropical forest stretching across the Mexican and Belizean borders.
