Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range and the iconic Cerro de la Silla near Monterrey, alongside a clear perspective of the Texas transition from urban sprawl to the Rio Grande border.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

DFW Metroplex

Aerial view of the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth urban landscape immediately after takeoff.

🏛️

Texas State Capitol

Views of Austin and the San Antonio river walk area as the flight tracks south through Central Texas.

⛰️

Cerro de la Silla

The distinctive saddle-shaped mountain that dominates the skyline of Monterrey, Nuevo León.

🌄

Sierra Madre Oriental

Stunning views of the jagged, folded limestone ridges and deep green valleys of the mountain range.

🧗

Peña de Bernal

One of the world's largest monoliths, visible during the final descent into the Querétaro valley.

Book a window seat on the left (Side A or B) for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sun while catching the sunrise hitting the Sierra Madre peaks. Keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes into the flight for the Monterrey mountains. On clear days, the contrast between the dry desert and the sudden mountain ridges is spectacular.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Texas Hill Country

The rolling green hills and river systems of the Edwards Plateau in Central Texas.

💧

Rio Grande

The winding river border between Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

🌵

Mexican Altiplano

The vast high-altitude plateau with its unique desert vegetation and volcanic soil hues.

🏘️

San Luis Potosí

The historical and industrial sprawl of one of Mexico's most important colonial cities.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the high plateau. You will get a better view of the arid landscape transition and the sprawling suburbs of San Luis Potosí. During descent, look for the industrial parks that mark Querétaro's status as an aerospace hub.
