Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl
Stunning views of the iconic 'Smoking Mountain' and 'Sleeping Woman' volcanoes rising above the horizon to the southeast.
Teotihuacán Pyramids
On clear days shortly after takeoff, the Sun and Moon pyramids are visible as the flight path heads north-northeast.
Zimapán Reservoir
The deep blue waters of this massive canyon-bound dam situated on the border of Hidalgo and Querétaro.
Sierra Madre Oriental
A close-up view of the verdant, jagged ridges of the mountain range where the altitude drops toward the coastal plains.
Tamaulipan Landscape
The lush green transition into the subtropical environment surrounding Ciudad Victoria as the plane descends.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. For the best view of the pyramids and volcanoes, look out early in the flight. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Sierra Madre Oriental ridges as the sun sets in the west, illuminating the green slopes.

Mexico City Urban Sprawl
Massive aerial view of the Valle de México, showcasing the density and scale of one of the world's largest metropolises.
Tula Archaeological Site
Brief glimpses of the ancient Toltec capital and its distinctive landscape north of the capital city.
Highland Plateaus
Arid and semi-arid terrain of the Mexican Altiplano, featuring unique geological formations and dry lake beds.
Sierra de Álvarez
The rugged western foothills of the mountain range as the flight progresses toward the state of San Luis Potosí.
Sit on the left if you want to see the expansive westward stretch of Mexico City upon departure. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the wings and window.
