Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) serves as Ecuador’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional flights, while smaller domestic airports around the country serve local routes. Major carriers and regional airlines commonly operate here, with a mix of full-service and low-cost options that can make fares feel mid-to-premium depending on season. The airport lies about 18 km east of central Quito; road transfer times generally range from 30–60 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle, with fares often in the equivalent of a few dollars to modest local rates. Pros: modern facilities and a wide choice of connections; cons: traffic to/from the city and occasional altitude-related flight adjustments.
Mexico City is served mainly by Benito Juárez International (MEX), the country’s primary international hub, and Felipe Ángeles International (NLU), a newer airport positioned for low-cost and domestic traffic. MEX typically hosts full-service carriers and major international airlines, while NLU can be used more by budget carriers and regional services. Benito Juárez lies about 8–12 km east of the historic centre; taxi or rideshare trips usually take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with metro and airport buses offering cheaper options. Felipe Ángeles is roughly 40–50 km north; transfer times can be 45–90 minutes and transfers often cost more due to longer distance. Pros: MEX is well connected and more centrally located; NLU can be less crowded and cheaper. Cons: both can be affected by heavy traffic and peak-time waits; transfers to some suburbs may require additional planning.
