Mexico City is served primarily by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the nation’s main international hub handling most full-service and many low-cost carriers, and Felipe Ángeles International (NLU), a newer airport positioned to relieve traffic with a mix of budget and some scheduled services. MEX sits about 8–14 km east of downtown and typically takes 20–40 minutes by metro, taxi or rideshare (fares vary widely), while NLU is roughly 40–50 km north and can take 45–75 minutes by bus or shuttle depending on traffic. Travelers usually find MEX more centrally convenient but busier; NLU can offer lower fares or less congestion at the cost of longer transfers. Ground options include Mexico City Metro and suburban buses, authorized airport taxis, and private transfers; schedules and journey times can fluctuate with peak traffic.
