Planning a holiday to Mexico City? This place certainly packs a punch as the largest city in North America. Most visitors will touch down at Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) which is served by dozens of airlines like KLM, British Airways, Aeromexico, United Airlines, among others.
There are only two seasons in Mexico City: dry (November to April) and wet (May to October). Spring and fall are the best times to visit for weather as it rains a lot during the summer months. Book your flights to Mexico City at least 6 months in advance.
Direct flights to Mexico City take just over 10 hours from London.
Mexico City is vast with plenty to offer visitors but most will find central, downtown Mexico City to be the best place to start. The city's pre-Columbian architecture from the 12th century is charming, the palaces in Centro are magnificent and the museums are a class act.
