Cheap Flights from Oaxaca to Mexico City Starting at $56

Mexico City is served primarily by Mexico City International Airport (AICM), the country’s main international hub that handles a mix of full-service carriers and many regional or low-cost airlines; the newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) operates as a secondary airport geared more toward domestic and low-cost services, while Toluca Airport can be an option for budget or charter flights. AICM sits about 8–12 km east of the historic center with metro, airport shuttle buses, taxis and rideshares typically taking 20–50 minutes depending on traffic; fares and ride times vary widely but expect public transport to be the cheapest option. AIFA is farther north (roughly 40–50 km) and usually requires a longer coach or taxi transfer of 50–90 minutes, often perceived as a lower-cost departure point though transfers can add time and expense. Pros: AICM offers abundant international connections and multiple ground-transport choices; AIFA and Toluca can yield cheaper fares and less crowded terminals. Cons: heavy urban traffic can make transfers unpredictable, and using secondary airports may mean longer commutes into the city.

Oaxaca’s Xoxocotlán International Airport (OAX) acts as the region’s main gateway, serving a mix of domestic services and a handful of seasonal international connections rather than a major hub. It typically hosts full-service carriers and some low-cost operators on routes to Mexico City, regional destinations and occasional US flights; fares can feel moderate compared with larger Mexican airports. The terminal sits about 7–10 km south of the historic center; by car or taxi it’s usually a 15–25 minute trip, while public buses and colectivos can take around 25–40 minutes for lower fares. Pros: compact, easy to navigate and close to town; cons: limited international frequency and fewer lounge or shopping options than larger hubs.
