Cheap Flights from Medellin to Mexico City — $229

Medellín is served by two main airports with different roles. José María Córdova (MDE) is the international hub located in Rionegro, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it sits about 35–45 km from downtown Medellín (roughly 45–60 minutes by car depending on traffic). Ground transport options usually include airport shuttles, taxis and app-based rides (fares commonly range from moderate to higher than city taxis), plus occasional private transfer services — public buses are available but slower. Olaya Herrera (EOH) is a smaller domestic airport much closer to the city center (around 5–10 minutes by car), primarily serving regional and budget flights; it can be convenient for quick domestic connections though facilities may be more basic. Pros: MDE offers broader international connections and fuller amenities; EOH provides unbeatable proximity and faster access to central neighborhoods. Cons: MDE’s distance can add time and cost, while EOH’s limited international service and smaller terminals may feel cramped.

Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country’s main international hub, and Felipe Ángeles International (NLU), a newer facility handling growing domestic and some international services. MEX typically hosts full-service and low-cost carriers alike — think Aeroméxico and several budget airlines — while NLU can be more budget- and domestic-oriented depending on schedules. Benito Juárez sits about 10–15 km east of the historic center, reachable by metro/light rail in roughly 30–50 minutes for low fares or by taxi/ride-hail in 20–40 minutes with variable fares; Felipe Ángeles is farther north, often taking 45–75 minutes by road. Pros: MEX offers extensive connections and frequent public-transit links; NLU can be less crowded and may offer cheaper options for domestic flyers. Cons: both can be affected by heavy traffic to/from the city and peak-hour congestion at terminals.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Medellin to Mexico City is $286 (August 2026), while the maximum is $333 (October 2026). On average, a ticket costs $313–$326.
