Search flights from DFW to PBC
Texas Hill Country
Shortly after takeoff, witness the rolling limestone hills and winding rivers of Central Texas near Austin.
The Rio Grande
Observe the international border where Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, are joined by several international bridges.
Chihuahuan Desert
The landscape transforms into a dramatic tapestry of arid basins and isolated mountain ranges in Northern Mexico.
Popocatépetl & Iztaccíhuatl
The crown jewels of the trip; these massive snow-capped volcanoes dominate the horizon on the right side during the approach to PBC.
The Right Side is essential for viewing 'Popo' and 'Izta' during descent. For the best photography, book a mid-morning flight when the sun illuminates the volcanic peaks from the east, and choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.
