A Mexico City soccer stadium long the home of Cruz Azul and Atlante, sitting right beside the Plaza México, the world's largest bullring. Look for the two bowls side by side in the Nápoles district.
4 of our routes pass it. Distrito Federal
The easy pick
Phoenix to Mexico City: sit on the left, on the way down.
Which side, by route
| Route | Side | When |
|---|---|---|
| Atlanta to Mexico City | Left | on the way down |
| Orlando to Mexico City | Left | on the way down |
| Phoenix to Mexico City | Left | on the way down |
| Tampa to Mexico City | Left (the right side is better for the whole flight) | on the way down |
From the real paths of every nonstop on these routes in the last 10 days, at the usual time of day. Where the best seat for the whole flight is on the other side, you'd trade this sight for more elsewhere.
