Very cool to see it from the pointy end! I love cruising into Zihuatanejo! There is nothing like walking off the plane into the tropical heat with the smell of jet fuel in the morning...

Totally agree. The feel of the hot breeze hitting your face after leaving Chicago when it is below 0 F. You can't wait to start removing your winter clothes and getting in a taxi heading to your destination- you don't wont them to turn the ac on.

Many moons ago, I was in the pointy end of many landings in ZIH when I flew a route that started in Los Angeles..That was the old Western Airlines..When Delta bought us out I had the opportunity to return a few times..Great scenic approach to the airport over the islands off shore..Beautiful. Upon departure it was fun to level off at about 1500 feet and give the folks on the right side a sterling view of the harbor..Ahhh, the good old days.

Flying from Chicago will come down straight from the mountain range and other times will fly over the coast North of Ixtapa and then veer out over the Ocean and then make a half circle to land- I like the scenery flying down the coast and then seeing the hotels of Ixtapa( knowing it will just be a couple of minutes before on the ground) as we are starting to head out over the Ocean before making the turn.

One of the smoothest landings I've seen/experienced in a long time.
