These are impressive photographs. Do they circle around to give both sides good chances for “window shots”?
It’s really nice that you don’t appear to have the horrible plastic-derived haze that ruins such pictures. Or do the newer planes have much higher quality glass in the windows?

No circling. If they did that around all the landmarks along the way, we’d never get to our destination
It’s the daily flight path from Mexico City to El Salvador. We’ve taken the flight enough times that I can anticipate what I will be able to look for based on which side of the plane we get seated on. There are benefits to being on either side with this long 800 mile (the way the crow flies) landscape.
The volcanos are a distance away so I am using a long lens. Fortunately ever since living in Costa Rica back in 2008, Anne and I have become infatuated with volcanoes - climbing several and looking into the hot boiling lava, and getting to know all the primary ones through the Central American countries.
So these beautiful landscapes take on a different form for us, because we are always trying to identify the topography, landmarks or where we are flying by the shapes of the sea coast - and with volcanoes and lakes, we have a good knowledge of what they look like and where they are, so we can identify them or anticipate them coming into view. It’s fun.
Same old 737 - same old foggy, scratched windows everyone looks through.
