British Airways has frequent flights to Mexico City. Your Mexico City flight lands at Benito Juárez Airport, in the north-east of Mexico City. The airport is just three miles from the centre of Mexico City, so you'll be enjoying tequilas and spicy tacos in one of Mexico City's many lively bars and restaurants in no time after your flight.
After your flight to Mexico City, a taxi is the most convenient way to get to your hotel. Be prepared, however, for Mexico City's notorious traffic jams and erratic driving and get an official Mexico City airport taxi. Cheaper, fast and easier on the nerves after your flight, Mexico City's Metro system also connects with the airport. Mexico City hotels often run shuttle buses taking passengers direct from their flight to their accommodation in Mexico City.
Flights to Mexico City take you to a city that has seen Aztec, Spanish and post-independence civilisations. Stretch your legs after your flight and get a flavour of Aztec culture wandering along the canals of Xochimilco in Mexico City's suburbs. Visit Zócalo, Mexico City's huge central square, and gaze at the awe-inspiring colonial Metropolitan Cathedral, Mexico City's largest and one of the biggest in the Americas. Learn about Mexico City's fascinating past at the National History Museum. Modern Mexico City has plenty of shopping streets, so you'll be able to find souvenirs. On your return flight from Mexico City, take home artisanal silver jewellery and colourful textiles.
