Cheap Flights from Mexico City to Oaxaca — $21

Mexico City International Airport (AICM) is the country’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers such as Aeroméxico alongside many international airlines, while Toluca and Felipe Ángeles can be used more by low-cost and charter operators. AICM sits east of downtown (about 15–25 km) and is typically reached by taxi or ride-hailing in roughly 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly ranging from modest to moderate; the new airport also connects via bus shuttles and airport-authorized transfers. Pros: wide route network, many amenities and airline lounges; cons: congestion and variable ground transport times. Toluca and Felipe Ángeles can be cheaper but are farther from the center and may require longer transfers.

Xoxocotlán International Airport (OAX) is Oaxaca’s main gateway, typically serving domestic routes and a small number of international flights, so it functions more as a regional hub than a long-haul connector. Airlines are usually a mix of Mexico’s flag carrier and low-cost carriers operating frequent services to Mexico City, Guadalajara and other national destinations. The airport sits about 7–10 km south of downtown Oaxaca; taxi or rideshare trips typically take 15–25 minutes and can cost roughly MXN 100–300, while occasional airport shuttles or colectivos may be cheaper but slower. Pros: compact, easy to navigate and close to the historic center. Cons: limited international options and smaller terminal amenities compared with major hubs.

In different months, ticket prices from Mexico City to Oaxaca vary: minimum — $19 (June 2026), maximum — $52 (January 2027). Typically, the flight costs $40–$102.
