Mexico City International Airport (Benito Juárez, MEX) serves as Mexico’s primary international hub and handles most full-service carriers, including Aeroméxico and many global airlines, alongside several low-cost operators. Located about 8–10 km (5–7 miles) east of the historic center, it’s typically reachable in 20–45 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic; metered taxis and app services can cost roughly USD 6–15, while the Metro and Metrobus offer cheaper options (fare under USD 1) but can be crowded. The airport usually offers extensive connections and passenger services, making it convenient for transfers, though busy terminals and urban congestion can make ground transfers slower during peak hours. Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA, NLU) is positioned as a newer airport meant to relieve congestion at the main hub and often handles a mix of low-cost and some domestic flights, with growing international links. It lies about 45–55 km (28–34 miles) north of central Mexico City; travel times can be 45–90 minutes by bus or shuttle, and longer by car during peak periods. Ground connections include dedicated shuttle buses and regional coaches with fares typically higher than city public transport but lower than full private transfers. AIFA can be a budget-friendly alternative for some routes, though its distance from downtown and more limited amenities can be trade-offs for convenience.

Fly nonstop from Mexico City to Quito for the quickest, most convenient way to connect Mexico’s bustling capital with Ecuador’s Andean charm — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy the city.
