Getting from Mexico City city center to Mexico City airport
The fastest options are taxi and private transfer, while budget travelers often choose Metro or Metrobús.
Mexico City is served by one main commercial airport: Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU), located approximately 43 km north of the city center, and the recently transitioned Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX), which sits just 5 km east of the historic center. Whether you are planning airport transfers from the city center or simply looking for the most convenient route, both airports are reachable via Metro, Metrobús, taxi, ride-hailing, and private transfer services. Journey times vary considerably depending on traffic conditions, time of day, and your departure point within the city.
