About flights to Mexico
Overview
Mexico blends Caribbean and Pacific beaches, ancient Maya and Aztec ruins, colourful colonial cities and world-famous cuisine. From the resorts of Cancún to the buzz of Mexico City, it is a favourite long-haul escape for UK travellers seeking sun, culture and adventure.
Best time to fly to Mexico
The dry season from November to April is the most popular, with warm, sunny days ideal for the beaches and ruins. The summer months are hotter and wetter, with a hurricane risk on the coasts between June and November. Fares rise over UK school holidays and Christmas, so the price charts on this page show the cheapest dates for your route.
Main gateway cities & airports
The main gateways are Cancún International Airport (CUN) for the Caribbean coast and Mexico City International Airport (MEX) for the capital and central Mexico. Other useful hubs include Guadalajara (GDL) and Los Cabos (SJD) on the Pacific.
Airlines and routes
British Airways and Aeroméxico fly direct from London to Cancún and Mexico City in around 10–11.5 hours. For connecting options — often better value — Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, United, Iberia (via Madrid) and Air France (via Paris) also serve Mexico from the UK.
Popular places to visit in Mexico
- Cancún & the Riviera Maya: white-sand beaches and turquoise Caribbean seas
- Chichén Itzá: the iconic Maya pyramid and UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Mexico City: world-class museums, markets and the historic centre
- Tulum: clifftop ruins above a stunning beach
- Oaxaca: colonial charm, crafts and celebrated cuisine
Top tips for finding cheap flights to Mexico
- Book a few months ahead for winter sun and school-holiday dates.
- Travel in the shoulder months (May or October) to balance weather and price.
- Compare direct and one-stop routes — a connection via the US or Europe can save money.
- Be flexible with dates — midweek departures are often cheaper.
Travel essentials
- Visa: UK travellers do not need a visa for tourist stays and complete an entry form on arrival
- Health: no special vaccinations are required for most trips, but check advice for rural areas
- Currency: the Mexican peso (MXN)
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Mexico
Your allowance to Mexico depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
