También conocido como: Mexico City Airport, AICM, Benito Juárez Airport.
MEX · MMMX · Mexico City
Mexico City International Airport (MEX), officially Benito Juárez International Airport and known locally as AICM, is the main airport of Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. It sits in the Venustiano Carranza borough, 5 km east of the historic center, so hotels in the Centro, Reforma, Polanco, Roma and Condesa are a short drive away in light traffic.
It is the main hub of Aeroméxico and Aeroméxico Connect and a hub for Volaris and Viva Aerobus, which together link the capital with more than 40 Mexican cities, from Cancún and Guadalajara to Oaxaca and Los Cabos. International routes reach the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe and Asia, with airlines such as American, United, Delta, Air France, Iberia, Lufthansa and All Nippon Airways.
The airport has two terminals on opposite sides of the airfield, about 3 km apart. Terminal 1 handles Volaris, Viva Aerobus and most foreign airlines, and Terminal 2 handles Aeroméxico, Delta and Copa. The Aerotrén links them for passengers with a boarding pass, and a free bus runs between them for everyone else.
Two other airports also serve the metropolitan area, Felipe Ángeles (NLU) to the north and Toluca (TLC) to the west, so check which one your flight uses.

Arrivals are on the ground floor in both terminals. On an international flight you go through Mexican immigration first; have your passport ready, together with any documents your nationality requires, and expect longer queues when several long-haul flights land together.
Then collect your bags. Terminal 1 has 22 baggage carousels and Terminal 2 has 15, so check the screens for your flight's carousel, and report missing or damaged luggage at your airline's desk before leaving the hall. Customs comes after baggage claim.
In the public arrivals hall, use only the authorized taxi counters inside the terminal: you pay at the counter and take the ticket to the taxi rank outside. Turn down anyone who approaches you offering a ride. Pre-booked drivers wait in the arrivals area or at the meeting point in your confirmation.
Terminal 1's arrivals corridor has banks, currency exchange, snack kiosks and car-rental desks. The Metrobús stops at Entrance 7 of Terminal 1 and Entrance 2 of Terminal 2, and Terminal 1 also connects to the Metro by an outdoor walkway from Entrance 1.
Authorized taxis and pre-booked transfers suit most travelers with luggage; the Metrobús is the cheap option into the center.
A driver meets you in arrivals and takes you to your hotel or address in the Centro, Reforma, Polanco, Roma, Condesa or Coyoacán, or to nearby cities. The most comfortable choice with luggage, a family or a late arrival.
Pay at the official taxi counters inside the terminal, then take the ticket to the rank outside. Sedans carry up to four passengers and executive vans up to eight; use only these taxis.
Stops at Terminal 1 (Entrance 7) and Terminal 2 (Entrance 2), running to San Lázaro and on toward the historic center. You need a rechargeable card from the machines at the stop; tight on space for large suitcases.
Terminal Aérea station on Line 5 is a short outdoor walk from Terminal 1 Entrance 1; Terminal 2 is about 800 metres from Pantitlán station. Cheap, but not practical with large luggage.
Coaches leave from the airport's own bus terminals to Puebla, Toluca, Cuernavaca, Querétaro, Pachuca, Oaxaca, Veracruz and Acapulco, among others.
ADO runs a shuttle from Terminal 1 to Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) for connections with flights there.

A free bus on the airport roads, between Terminal 1 (Entrance 6) and Terminal 2 (Entrance 4), open to everyone, including people meeting passengers.

Terminal assignments can change, so always check your boarding pass or airline app.

Yes. Mexico City International Airport, Benito Juárez International Airport and AICM are the same airport, with the IATA code MEX and the ICAO code MMMX. It is the city's main airport, 5 km east of the historic center. Felipe Ángeles (NLU) and Toluca (TLC) are different airports that also serve the metropolitan area, so check the code on your ticket.
Aeroméxico, Aeroméxico Connect, Delta and Copa use Terminal 2. Volaris, Viva Aerobus, Magnicharters and most foreign airlines, including American, United, Air Canada, Iberia, Air France, KLM, Lufthansa and LATAM, use Terminal 1. The terminals are about 3 km apart on opposite sides of the airfield, so confirm on your boarding pass or airline app before you set off.
Passengers with a boarding pass can ride the Aerotrén, an elevated train that links the two terminals. Everyone else can take the free inter-terminal bus, which runs between Terminal 1 Entrance 6 and Terminal 2 Entrance 4. The terminals are about 3 km apart, so allow extra time if you have to collect bags and check in again.
Mexico City airport is 5 km east of the historic center, in the Venustiano Carranza borough. Neighborhoods such as Reforma, Polanco, Roma and Condesa are farther west, and travel time depends heavily on Mexico City traffic, which can be slow at any hour. The Metrobús and Metro offer alternatives to the road if you travel light.
Yes. Metrobús Line 4 stops at Terminal 1 (Entrance 7) and Terminal 2 (Entrance 2) and runs toward San Lázaro and the historic center; you need a rechargeable card from the machines at the stop. Terminal Aérea station on Metro Line 5 is next to Terminal 1. Both are cheap, but crowded trains and stairs make them hard with large suitcases.
Yes. Camino Real, Hilton and Courtyard are connected to Terminal 1, and NH Collection and izZzleep are at Terminal 2. Several more hotels, including Fiesta Inn, Holiday Inn and City Express, are close to Terminal 1. Staying at the terminal is useful for early departures, late arrivals or long connections between flights.
A common guideline is to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight from Mexico City. Traffic to the airport is unpredictable, so leave a generous margin for the drive, especially at rush hour, and confirm your terminal first because the two terminals are far apart. Your airline's own recommendation always comes first.
