FLL → TLC
Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Licenciado Adolfo Lopez Mateos International Airport (Toluca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this route, offering a front-row seat to Mexico's legendary Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, including North America's highest volcano, Pico de Orizaba, and the active Popocatépetl.

Florida Everglades
Aerial perspective of the vast wetlands and 'river of grass' immediately after departing Fort Lauderdale.
Pico de Orizaba
The snow-capped summit of Mexico's highest peak (5,636m) visible as you cross the coastline into the state of Veracruz.
Popocatépetl Volcano
The iconic active volcano often seen venting steam plumes, situated dramatically next to Iztaccíhuatl.
Nevado de Toluca
A massive stratovolcano with twin crater lakes that dominates the skyline during the final approach into TLC.
Bay of Campeche
The southern curve of the Gulf of Mexico where the deep blue sea meets the lush tropical lowlands.
Prioritize the left side for unparalleled views of Mexico's 'Big Three' volcanoes. The most dramatic sights occur in the final 45 minutes of the flight. Morning flights (before 11:00 AM) are highly recommended to avoid the convective cloud buildup that often obscures the volcanic peaks by mid-afternoon. If flying in winter, the snow cover on the peaks is particularly striking against the blue sky.

Florida Gold Coast
Panoramic views of the Atlantic shoreline and the dense urban sprawl of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area.
Sierra Madre Oriental
The rugged, folded mountain ridges of eastern Mexico that create a dramatic barrier between the coast and the plateau.
Laguna de Tamiahua
A massive coastal lagoon system near Tampico featuring intricate sandbars and wetlands.
Toluca Valley
The high-altitude basin views showing the transition from agricultural land to the industrial outskirts of Toluca.
Cumbres del Ajusco
Densely forested mountain ranges that separate the Mexico City basin from the Toluca valley.
The right side offers excellent views of the Sierra Madre Oriental's unique ridge formations. For afternoon flights, this side is preferable if you want to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep a lookout during the descent for the high-altitude pine forests of the State of Mexico, which are particularly vibrant during the rainy season (June to September).
