Cheap Flights from Mexico City to Guatemala City Starting at $116

Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country’s main international gateway and a busy hub for full-service carriers like Aeroméxico alongside many low-cost airlines on domestic and regional routes. The airport sits about 8–10 km east of the historic center; typical options to reach downtown include the Metro and Metrobus (roughly 30–45 minutes, very low fares), taxis and authorized rideshares (30–50 minutes, moderate fares), or private transfers. MEX is often perceived as a mid-range to premium airport in terms of connectivity and services, with plentiful lounges and shops but possible congestion and longer security lines at peak times. For budget-focused travelers, nearby Toluca (TLC) can be an alternative for some low-cost international flights, though it’s farther from the city and involves longer transfers.

Fly nonstop from Mexico City to Guatemala City for the quickest, most convenient way to travel between these capitals — no layovers, less hassle, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the convenience.

La Aurora International Airport (GUA) is Guatemala City’s main international gateway and typically acts as the country’s primary hub for full-service carriers and regional airlines, while also handling some low-cost flights. Located about 4–6 km south of the historic center, it’s usually a short drive — roughly 15–25 minutes depending on traffic — and taxis or rideshares commonly cost in the range of USD 6–15. Public buses and hotel shuttles are available but can be slower and less predictable. Travelers can expect basic but functional facilities with several dining and rental-car options; pros include proximity to downtown and straightforward transfers, whereas congestion and occasional delays can be a downside. La Aurora also serves a number of domestic routes to internal destinations and nearby regional cities, making it convenient for connections within Guatemala and to neighboring countries. Domestic flights are typically operated by regional carriers and low-cost operators, and fares can be competitive compared with overland travel for longer journeys. Ground transport to central Guatemala City remains quick relative to many capitals, though passengers should allow extra time during peak hours. While the airport’s compact size helps with fast arrivals and departures, amenities are more limited than at larger international hubs, so plan accordingly for layovers or late-night flights.
