Fly with Volaris from Austin to Mexico City

Get ready for your trip with this simple checklist:

  • Check-in: Use Volaris online check-in starting 72 hours before departure. Arrive at AUS airport at least 3 hours early.
  • Documents: Carry a valid passport. U.S. citizens don’t need a visa for tourism under 180 days.
  • Luggage: Know your baggage limits to avoid extra fees at the gate.
  • Weather in Austin, Texas: Expect heat most of the year with mild winters. Summer humidity is real—hydrate and pack light.
  • Weather in Mexico City: Mild climate overall. June–September is the rainy season. Check Mexico City weather by month to plan well.
  • What to do in Austin before the flight: Visit South Congress, tour the State Capitol, or grab brisket at Franklin BBQ—some classic things to visit in Austin before takeoff.

Most flights arrive at Benito Juarez International Airport (AICM), about 5 miles east of the center. Some also land at the newer NLU airport Mexico City, roughly 30 miles north—check your ticket.

Both airports have ATMs, tourist help desks, Wi-Fi, and shops. From AICM, Metrobus Line 4, Uber, and authorized taxis are available. Car rental in Mexico City airport is easy to arrange in both terminals.

Hungry after landing? Terminal 1 has taco spots like La Mansión, or grab churros in La Roma nearby. Looking for a place to stay? CDMX has accommodations for all styles—stay central in Juárez or artsy in Coyoacán.
