Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa Message Board - Landing in Zihuatanejo https://www.zihuatanejo.net/tablero/ Information for visitors and locals about Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa, Troncones, Barra de Potosí and the surrounding region of the Costa Grande in Guerrero, Mexico en Landing in Zihuatanejo (reply) 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.

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.

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.

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...
