Dallas Skyline
Potential views of the iconic Reunion Tower and downtown Dallas skyscrapers during the initial climb.
Galveston Bay
The transition from the Texas coastline into the Gulf, with views of Houston's industrial shipping channels.
Yucatan Peninsula
Stunning views of the Mexican coastline, including the hotel zones of Cancun and Playa del Carmen.
Mesoamerican Reef
Breathtaking turquoise waters and visible coral formations as the flight crosses the channel to Cozumel.
This is the premier side for photography. On the descent, you will typically fly parallel to the Riviera Maya coastline. Look for the distinct color change from the deep indigo of the Yucatan Channel to the bright neon turquoise of the shallow reefs. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the mainland coastline.

Deep blue maritime views and offshore oil platforms dotting the northern Gulf waters.
East Cozumel Coastline
The rugged, wind-swept eastern beaches of the island characterized by crashing surf and minimal development.
Choose this side for early morning departures to enjoy a spectacular sunrise over the Gulf. While most of the mid-flight is over open water, the approach offers a unique view of Cozumel's uninhabited 'wild side' before the plane banks toward the airport.
