Cheap Flights to Mexico City Mexico from £503

Surprisingly only British Airways flies direct from London to Mexico City, airfares for these flights start from £590 return. Our recommended alternative for cheap and certainly convenient flights for EU passport holders is with KLM via Amsterdam or Air France via Paris. These routes all avoid the inconvenience that can sometimes occur when flying via an American airport. The KLM flights have particularly good connections in Amsterdam for UK regional departures, the mid afternoon non stop flights to the Mexico city allows plenty of time for transfers. If you prefer a route via the States, Delta flying to Atlanta from Manchester connecting to their evening flight down to Mexico City is the shortest journey.
The expanding Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) lies east of the Zocalo, the official city centre of Mexico City. The Metro is the cheapest way to reach the city, from the airport's Terminal Aerea subway station.

Transfers & Travel from Mexico City Airport (MEX), Mexico

The huge Benito Juárez International Airport is 8 miles east of Mexico City. The terminal building where international flights arrive is very long and boarding or arriving can involve lengthy walks.
Taxi	In the baggage reclaim area, the authorized taxi booth (Taxi Autorizado) issues pre-paid taxi tickets, ignore any touts who approach you in the arrivals hall. Always lock cab doors when travelling inside, violent robberies are common. In Mexico City, never hail passing taxis, only hire an official taxi from your hotel.
Bus	A municipal transport city bus is available to the City Bus Station from the airport. Large hotels run shuttle vans from the airport for guests. Long distance buses depart from the Central Bus Station in the city opposite the railway station, local buses operate from the City Bus Station.
Train	The Airport Metro station is a few minutes walk away from domestic arrivals in Terminal 1. Take Line 5 and take a train to Pantitlán and change here to Line 1 (Observatorio) for the city centre. The Metro is cheap but crime is a serious problem, do not travel with luggage or valuables.
Car	Driving around Mexico City is not for the faint hearted. Car drivers should check if your license plate permits you to drive in the city, as huge fines are issued.
