THE FLIGHT

Extended, Serene Time Aloft

The Plus flight is defined by an extended duration that allows passengers to absorb the serenity of the aerial journey and the scale of the prehispanic architecture below.

A controlled descent concludes the itinerary, and the ground crew receives passengers for a composed, elegant wrap-up to the experience.
