Search Mexico City Flights from AU$194

We’re just putting this out there: Our Cancun packages are pretty appealing, if we do say so ourselves. But we challenge you to put away your swimsuit for your next holiday and book one of our cheap flights to Mexico City instead. The Distrito Federal has a heartbeat that thumps to the rhythm of mariachi, and while you’re there, you can start every morning with a pan dulce sweet roll. End your day at an arena cheering on a luchadore named Super Porky or shaking your tush in the Zona Rosa.

Sound incredible? We think so, too.

Getting Around Mexico City

Flights to Mexico City land at the aptly named Mexico City International Airport (MEX), just 11km from the centre of things. A quick taxi ride later and you’re all checked into your hotel and rolling up your sleeves to devour a plate of empanadas. Once your holiday is underway, the cheapest way to get around is the metro. In fact, Mexico City has the most affordable subway system in the world. Save your pesos for cervezas and climb aboard.

When You Land…

Are you on one of the Mexico City flights landing in the morning? Start your day right with a cuppa café de olla. If you are touching down in the afternoon, make the first thing you do on holiday be a visit to the Palacio Nacional and its elaborate murals.

Arriving in Mexico City in the evening means you’re just in time to down a cocktail in Colonia Centro Historico (aka where the party is).

Live Like a Local

Huevos are a way of life in Mexico City. There’s more egg consumption per capita in this city than anywhere else in the world. Do your part and scarf down a plate of huevos rancheros during your three-hour lunch. Oh yeah, did we mention that lunch lingers for hours? Cheers to that!

Book one of the top Mexico City hotels on Wotif, and your cantina budget will be still intact. Just don’t forget to save some cash to see the museums.
