Dramatic views of the rugged mountain range that separates the coastal plains of Veracruz from the high central plateau.

Popocatépetl

The famous active volcano often seen venting steam or ash as the aircraft begins its final descent into the Mexico City basin.

Iztaccíhuatl

Located right next to 'Popo', the 'Sleeping Woman' volcano offers a stunning jagged profile of its snowy ridge.

Southern CDMX

Depending on the wind-dependent approach pattern, you may see the dense urban sprawl and the Xochimilco canals to the south.

Immediate views of the Coatzacoalcos river mouth and the industrial coastline as the plane climbs away from MTT.

Veracruz Lowlands

A patchwork of tropical agriculture, rivers, and wetlands that characterize the humid eastern plains.

Nezahualcóyotl

As you descend into MEX, the right side provides a bird's-eye view of the incredibly dense, grid-like urban planning of the eastern suburbs.

MEX Airport Operations

On final approach, you typically get an excellent view of the terminal buildings and parallel runways of Benito Juarez International.
