Cheap Flights from Mexico City to Chicago — $154

Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country’s main international gateway and hub for legacy carriers like Aeroméxico alongside many international airlines; it’s typically busier and pricier than nearby secondary fields. MEX sits about 8–10 km from the historic center (roughly 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic) and is linked by Metro Line 5, metrobus routes and taxis or app-based rides — expect transit fares to range from a few pesos for public transport to moderate fares for ride-hailing. For budget-conscious travelers, Felipe Ángeles International (NLU), opened recently to relieve congestion, can be cheaper on low-cost carriers but is considerably farther north (about 45–75 minutes by road) with fewer public transport options. Pros: MEX is very well connected and convenient for international transfers; cons: traffic and terminal crowding can make transfers slower, while NLU trades convenience for lower fares and quieter facilities.

Chicago is served by two major airports with distinct roles. O'Hare International (ORD) functions as the city's principal international and connecting hub, typically hosting legacy carriers like United and American along with numerous global airlines; it can be pricier for last-minute fares but often offers extensive route options. Located about 17 miles northwest of downtown, O'Hare is reachable by CTA Blue Line rail in roughly 45–60 minutes (fares around the standard transit rate) or by taxi/rideshare in 30–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary). Pros: wide flight choice and amenities; cons: large layout and possible crowds. Midway (MDW) is Chicago's secondary airport, more budget- and leisure-oriented and frequently served by low-cost carriers such as Southwest. About 10 miles southwest of the loop, Midway is reachable by CTA Orange Line in around 25–35 minutes (transit fares apply) or by car in 20–45 minutes, typically with lower parking and concession costs. Pros: smaller terminal and quicker transfers; cons: fewer international routes and limited late-night options.
