Question 6

Can I save money by flying with a stopover to Mexico City?

Accepted Answer

For Mexico City, prices are generally cheapest when you fly direct, with fares from around £765 versus about £772 for a 1-stop itinerary. A direct flight also saves you time and the hassle of a connection, so it's usually the better all-round choice on this route. Stopovers only tend to pay off here if a particular date or airline happens to be cheaper.

Question 7

How far in advance should I book a flight to Mexico City?

Accepted Answer

To get a below-average price to Mexico City, aim to book roughly 26 weeks before departure, when fares tend to dip to around £765. Leaving it to the final week is usually the most expensive time to buy, costing about 47% more, as availability tightens. Booking extremely far ahead isn't always cheaper either, so a few weeks to a couple of months out is typically the sweet spot.
