Mexico City’s main airport, Benito Juárez International (MEX), functions as the country’s primary international hub and handles most full-service carriers alongside several low-cost airlines. It’s located about 6–8 km from downtown Mexico City, with road transfers typically taking 20–45 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and rideshares are common (fares vary by service), while the Metro and suburban rail lines offer cheaper connections in 30–50 minutes. A newer airport, Felipe Ángeles (NLU), positioned farther north, usually serves budget and domestic flights and can be 40–70 km from the center, often requiring 45–90 minutes by car or bus. MEX is more convenient for central access and transfers, while NLU can be quieter and cheaper but may mean longer commutes and fewer transfer options.
Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) serves as a major gateway for cross-border and domestic travel in Baja California, often used by both full-service and low-cost carriers connecting to cities across Mexico and the US. Located about 5–10 km from downtown Tijuana and roughly 20–30 minutes by car depending on traffic, it’s commonly reachable by taxi, rideshare, or local buses; travel times and fares can vary but expect modest costs compared with major hubs. The airport can be a convenient choice for quick cross-border trips and regional connections, though terminals are typically smaller and services more limited than larger international hubs. Pros: close to city, straightforward connections; cons: fewer lounge/amenity options and occasional congestion at peak times.
