Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Mexico City (MEX) from USD106

Your adventure begins in sunny Central Florida. Here’s how to get ready:

• Check-in: Arrive at Orlando airport (MCO) at least 2.5 hours before departure. Use the Volaris app or website to check in early.
• Documents: A valid passport is required for entry into Mexico. No visa needed for U.S. citizens visiting under 180 days.
• Luggage: Choose your baggage option during booking. Volaris lets you customize based on carry-on or checked needs.
• Weather in Orlando: Expect hot, humid summers and dry, mild winters. Prepare with breathable clothing and sunscreen.
• Weather in Mexico City: Cooler and drier than Orlando, with occasional rain in summer. A light jacket and umbrella are smart additions.
• Before the flight: Grab a Cuban coffee at Terminal B or explore the art installations near Gate 70 before boarding.

You’ll land at Benito Juárez International Airport, the main Mexico City airport located just 7 miles east of the city center. This busy hub offers free Wi-Fi, currency exchange, ATMs, tourist information desks, luggage storage, and car rental services.

Authorized taxi counters, Metrobus Line 4, and ride-sharing apps like DiDi and Uber are all accessible from both terminals. If you prefer a hotel shuttle or private transport, arrange pickup in advance to avoid lines.

Once you’ve dropped off your bags, treat yourself to authentic tacos al pastor, visit a nearby panadería, or head straight to the Zócalo to take in the city’s pulse. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, CDMX always has a new flavor to offer.
