Alternatively, you can take the Metro to just about anywhere in town. I took a cab to the Zocalo ($127 pesos not including tip), but a subway ride is only 2 pesos! After realizing how easy the Metro system is, needless to say, I took the Metro to the airport on my departure. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

How to get here depends on where you're coming from. Most of the times the plane will be the best / ONLY choice. We don't have a good train network in Mexico so this isn't an option. So if you arrive by plane, you'll arrive into the Benito Juarez International Airport, which isn't big enough for our needs anymore but it's the only one we have, LOL. There are authorized safe taxis there that will take you wherever you need to go within the city (you will have to buy your ticket inside the airport and indicate where you are going), or you can also use the metro (there's a station right outside the airport's domestic flights terminal).
If you're willing to go to another nearby town after flying into Mexico City - Puebla, Cuernavaca, Queretaro, Pachuca and Toluca - there are also buses departing right from the airport to these main destinations, so you don't have to go from the airport to one of our bus terminals and then catch a bus. They are very convenient if you're visiting one of these main cities close to Mexico City.

Air - International flights arrive at Benito Juarez International Airport, which is about 25 minutes from downtown. The major carriers are: Mexicana, Aeromexico, American Airlines, United, Delta, Northwest, Continental, Lufthansa, British Airways, Air France, Lan Chile, Lloyd Aereo Boliviano, Taca, Copa, Avensa, Aviateca, Varig, Aerolineas Argentinas, AeroCaribe, Taesa, and Iberia. Taxis from the airport to down- town are relatively inexpensive. It is recommended to use the authorized airport taxis, purchasing your ticket in the main terminals and baggage claim areas. Prices will vary depending on the area of the city where you are going. Theme: Airplane

British Airways generally offer the best prices from London to Mexico City in all seasons. Their quality of service is very solid and the crew based in Mexico City very friendly.
KLM also flies from Amsterdam to Mexico City. Their 'lower business class' seats do not seem available anymore. Most flights from Europe arrive between 07:00PM and 09:00PM, creating huge queues at immigration. Be ready to wait at least one hour when you get there!
Other international airlines flying from Europe include Air France and Lufthansa. Crews from both airlines stay at the Nikko hotel.
If you come from Brazil, you are probably limited to only two viable options: American Airline (connect in Miami) or Continental (connect in Houston).
From Colombia, Avianca seems to be the cheapest option. In addition, you will probably have the privilege to fly right above the Popocatepetl volcano, an awesome spectacle (see image).
Sitio taxis are my preferred way of getting around in Mexico city. Safe, much cheaper than taxis 'turistico' they have only one problem: if you don't speak Spanish you can't order one (except if you ask nicely your hotel concierge). A good sitio taxi number that will pick you up from nearly anywhere in Mexico City at any time is Express Reforma on 5650-4990 or 5650-5004.
Otherwise, the metro is quite safe and clean - but packed. For the more adventurous, try the buses but they sometimes get ransomed...
If you happen to make an extended stay in Mexico City, then don't miss the opportunity to take a weekend break in one of Mexico's beach resorts. The cheapest way to travel in comfort is to book a package offered by Mexicana (VTP) or Aeromexico (agencies located in the hotel Presidente in Polanco and all over Mexico City).

Mexico City has an excellent subway system, one of the world's most extensive and efficient. Taxis are also plentiful and reasonable. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
