Before boarding your Las Vegas to Mexico City flight, make sure you're ready:

• Check-in: Use Volaris online check-in to save time. Arrive at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) at least 3 hours before departure.

• What to do in Las Vegas before the flight: Kill time with a visit to the Neon Museum, lunch at Chinatown, or people-watching on Fremont Street—some of the most authentic things to see in Las Vegas.

Mexico City Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez) is about 5 miles east of downtown. Once you land, customs is usually quick but lines can vary depending on the time of day. The airport has currency exchange booths, ATMs, SIM card stands, and tourist info points.

Getting to the city is simple:

• Authorized taxis: Available near the exits of both Terminal 1 and 2; pay in advance at official booths.
• App-based rideshares: Uber and Didi are available with clearly marked pickup points.
• Airport shuttles: Hotel pickups and private shuttle services can be pre-booked.
• Metro: Terminal 1 connects to Line 5 of the Metro, though not ideal if you have lots of luggage.
