Cheap Flights from Mexico City to Medellin Starting at $160

Mexico City is served primarily by Mexico City International Airport (Benito Juárez, MEX), a major international hub handling full-service carriers like Aeroméxico and many foreign airlines alongside low-cost operators; it’s typically the main choice for long-haul and business travel. For lower-cost domestic and regional flights, Felipe Ángeles International (NLU) and Toluca (TLC) can be alternatives that often offer cheaper fares but are farther from central neighborhoods. MEX sits about 9–15 km from the historic center, reachable by taxi or rideshare in roughly 20–40 minutes (fares and times vary with traffic), and also by bus or metro connections for lower fares. Pros: extensive route network and frequent service; cons: heavy traffic, busy terminals, and potential delays during peak hours.

Medellín is served by two main airports with different roles. José María Córdova International (MDE) near Rionegro functions as the city’s international gateway and is typically used by full-service carriers and many regional flights; fares can be mid-to-high relative to domestic options. It sits about 35–45 km (roughly 40–60 minutes by car) from downtown Medellín depending on traffic; shuttle buses and taxis are common (shared shuttles from about COP-equivalent fares to private transfers costing more). Olaya Herrera (EOH) is a smaller, centrally located domestic airport favored by budget and regional airlines, around 5–10 minutes from the city center by taxi and often cheaper for short hops. Pros: MDE offers broader international connectivity; EOH is convenient for quick domestic trips. Cons: MDE’s distance adds transfer time and variable road congestion, while EOH has limited long-haul options.
