Their electronic boards change so quickly they’re difficult to read. Check the board often because they often change the gate without any warning. If you’re a tourist you don’t have to download the pdf of the digital migratory thingie. They give you a receipt saying you’ll. It be able to leave unless you do, but it’s not clear that tourists are exempt. And the information booth I used in the airport didn’t k is, and sent me to Gate 28 immigration, but it was at Gate 25, and I walked all that way for nothing. So get there early, and check the board often for changes.

Get to the airport early (if you are not familiar with Mexico City airport - it is not well signed inside the terminal so finding a screen to show departure times or even finding your gate can be tricky).

When boarding, stand close to the gate. Sometimes they don’t use the microphone to call boarding groups.
