About the Los Angeles to Mexico City route
Los Angeles to Mexico City is the busiest US to Mexico route, with nonstops from four airlines through the day. The gap between the low-cost fare and the full-service fare closes fast once a carry-on and a checked bag are added, which is why an agent prices every carrier with your bags included. Mexico City's new Felipe Ángeles airport also takes some flights; the agent tells you which airport each fare lands at.
- Two airports in Mexico City
- Most flights use Benito Juárez (MEX), 30 minutes from the centre. Some Volaris flights use Felipe Ángeles (NLU), about an hour north. Ask which one your fare uses.
- Bags decide the cheapest airline
- Volaris's basic fare excludes a carry-on. Add bags and Aeroméxico or Delta can come out ahead. The total you hear includes the bags you are bringing.
