Fly with Volaris from Seattle to Mexico City
When Seattle's clouds stretch endlessly across the sky, and you're craving bold flavors, ancient history, and 24/7 buzz, it's time to go south. Mexico City greets you with sunshine, street tacos, and centuries-old plazas. With Volaris, flights from Seattle to Mexico City offer a seamless escape from the Pacific Northwest's gray to Latin America's vibrant capital. So if you're looking for culture, adventure, or culinary thrills, flights to Mexico City from Seattle are your next move.
Here’s how to get ready for your trip:
- Check-in: Use Volaris online check-in 72 hours before departure. Arrive at SEA at least 3 hours in advance.
- Documents: Bring a valid passport. No visa is needed for U.S. tourist stays under 180 days.
- Luggage: Review baggage rules for size and weight to avoid delays or fees.
- Weather in Seattle: Expect cool temps and drizzle much of the year. Dress in layers to stay dry.
- Weather in Mexico City: Generally mild. Rainy from June to September. Check both daily conditions and Mexico City weather by month.
- What to do in Seattle before the flight: Enjoy a walk through Pike Place Market or views from Kerry Park—some of the best things to do in Seattle before takeoff.
Most flights arrive at Benito Juarez International Airport (AICM), but the newer NLU airport in Mexico City may be an alternative. Both offer international services.
At AICM, you’ll find ATMs, SIM card shops, and ride-share access. Official taxis, Metrobus Line 4, or Uber are recommended. If you plan to explore outside the city, car rental in Mexico City airport is available in both terminals.
Hungry? Start with tacos al pastor near Terminal 1 or head to nearby La Condesa for upscale dining. Need rest? Hotels like Camino Real or NH Collection offer convenient stays within minutes of the terminals.
