MTY → AGU
Which side of the plane to sit from General Mariano Escobedo International Airport (Monterrey) to Jesús Terán Paredo International Airport (Aguascalientes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers unparalleled views of the dramatic Sierra Madre Oriental mountain ridges and the deep canyons of the Huasteca region during the initial climb.
Huasteca Canyon
Immense limestone walls and jagged peaks that form one of the most scenic canyons in North America.
Sierra Madre Ridges
Continuous, sharp-edged mountain folds that look like a giant accordion from above.
Catorce Range
The high mountains near the historic mining town of Real de Catorce, known for their spiritual significance.
Aguascalientes Valley
Geometric patterns of vineyards and guava orchards as the plane descends into the Bajío region.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy golden hour lighting on the mountain ridges. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff from MTY for the steep, vertical cliffs of the Huasteca Canyon.
Cerro de la Silla
The most iconic landmark of Monterrey, visible as a distinct saddle shape shortly after takeoff.
San Pedro Garza García
View of the most affluent district in Mexico with its modern skyline nestled against the mountains.
Presa de la Boca
A popular recreational reservoir located in the Santiago valley south of Monterrey.
Altiplano Potosino
The transition into the high-altitude desert plains of San Luis Potosí.
Sit on this side for early morning flights to see the sun rise over the Gulf coastal plain. It is the best side for spotting the 'Saddle Hill' landmark during the initial departure phase.
