Juarez International MEX
Juarez International is one of the two airports serving Mexico City, and the one most travellers mean when they search for cheap flights from Mexico City. From here you can reach London, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Rome, Zurich and Copenhagen, among other routes. The capital's second airport, Santa Lucia, takes part of the traffic, so compare both before you settle on a fare.

Getting to the city
Getting into town is straightforward: licensed airport taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual choices, and the official taxi desks inside arrivals are the safer bet if you land after dark. Ignore drivers who approach you in the hall — unlicensed cabs are the classic mistake here. Mexico City traffic is heaviest through the afternoon and evening, so add buffer time on the way out and leave a wide margin for your return leg; an early arrival at the terminal costs you nothing but a missed check-in costs you the flight.
