Cape Town International is the main international gateway for the Western Cape and typically functions as a full-service hub for international and domestic carriers, while a handful of smaller aerodromes handle private and regional flights. Major airlines like South African Airways, British Airways, and several low-cost carriers operate regular services, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 20–25 km from the city centre; road transfers by metered taxi or rideshare usually take 20–45 minutes depending on traffic, and shuttle buses or MyCiTi express services can be 30–50 minutes with modest fares. Pros: good international connections, modern facilities and ample car hire options; cons: peak-time congestion and a drive that can be affected by rush-hour delays.

Mexico City is served mainly by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the capital’s primary international hub that handles most full-service and many low-cost carriers, and Felipe Ángeles International (NLU), a newer airport positioned to relieve congestion and attract domestic and budget flights. MEX sits about 6–10 km east of downtown and is usually reached in 20–45 minutes by metro-rail/bus combinations or taxi/rideshare; expect metro fares to be minimal and taxis/rideshares to cost more, with travel times varying by traffic. NLU lies roughly 40–50 km north of the center and can take 45–90 minutes by car or shuttle; shuttle buses and regional coaches are typically available at modest fares. Pros: MEX offers extensive international connections, frequent public-transit options and multiple airline lounges; NLU can be less crowded and often cheaper for domestic tickets. Cons: MEX can be busy and subject to delays during peak hours, while NLU’s longer distance may add transfer time and cost.
