Mexico City’s primary airport, Benito Juárez International (MEX), is the country’s main international hub and typically handles a mix of full-service international carriers and Mexican flag and low-cost airlines. Located about 7–10 km east of the historic center, it’s usually reachable by taxi or rideshare in 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; the metro and Metrobus provide cheaper options, often under an hour and for a few pesos to a small single-digit fare. A newer Felipe Ángeles International (NLU) north of the city serves more budget and charter flights and can be 45–75 minutes away by road, with shuttle services linking it to downtown at moderate fares. MEX offers extensive connectivity and more amenities; NLU can be quieter and cheaper but may add transfer time and extra cost for onward travel.
