Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United Kingdom

  • The main airport hub for international airlines in Mexico is Mexico City International Airport (MEX), although many airlines will fly directly to some of the tourist destinations. Mexico City Airport is centrally located and so is a good place to explore both north and south. If you want to explore the Gulf of Mexico, you should consider flying in to Monterrey, while if you are interested in the Pacific coast, you could fly into Acapulco International Airport (ACA).
  • If you are looking at flights to Mexico so you can visit the city of Campeche, you can book a flight to Campeche International Airport (CPE) via Cancun or Mexico City. Another alternative which may be less expensive, although it will take up to 6.5h, is to fly into Cancun (CUN) and then make the journey overland to Campeche.
  • For visitors to Mexico who are wanting to spend time on the beaches in Puerto Vallarta, you are in luck, as there are direct flights from the London Gatwick (LGW) and Manchester Airport (MAN) into Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). These direct flights operate during the high season, otherwise Aeromexico operates flights via Mexico City to Puerto Vallarta all year round.
  • Visitors to Mexico do not need to be in possession of a visa upon arrival but will have to complete an immigration form that must be carried when you enter and leave the country. You can get the immigration form at the airport when you arrive, on your flight or, if your passport is valid for six months after entering Mexico, you can complete the form online in advance of travel. If you are transiting through the US, it is important to check that you have the correct authorisation to land in the US.
  • While the main airports in Mexico will have bureau du change counters in the terminals, it is important to note that it is easier to change USD than it is to change GBP. UK debit and credit cards can be used as payment and at ATMs in the bigger centres. If you want to take a taxi from the airport, you might need to pay cash for the journey, as they may not accept cards.
  • If you are a tequila enthusiast you'll be wanting to find cheap flights to Mexico to visit Jalisco in the west of Mexico. This region is world-famous because it's considered the birthplace of tequila and mariachi music. For the best access to the region fly into Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla Guadalajara International Airport (GDL).
  • No matter which airport you fly into in Mexico it's good to know that if you are looking to use the bathrooms in the airport do not assume if you see an “M,” on the door that it is a men's room. Instead, look for a door marked with an “H” (for “hombre”) or a “C” (for “Caballeros”), to avoid an uncomfortable or embarrassing situation.
  • When you arrive at a Mexican airport you'll fill out an immigration form. The last section at the end of the immigration is a perforated slip that the officer will tear it off and stick in your passport once you have passed through immigration. The form is called the Multiple Immigration Form (FMM). It is very important when you leave Mexico, so be sure to keep it safe with your passport to avoid paying a fine when you leave.
  • Once you arrive in Mexico your best bet would be to make use of the public bus system. The bus service is safe and very reliable. It reaches more places than not in and around all the major cities in Mexico and it's cheap. Bus tickets are available in different classes, and buses are as comfortable as any world-class destination.

Food has been disappointing in both legs of flight to india

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Great staff, great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great

Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated

Premium economy more comfortable than economy, but not by much. Did was awful, do not try the omelette. Flight crew were helpful. Flight was delayed by over an hour. Overall but bad, arrived safely and thank God.

Unfortunately I had an awful boarding experience. Our first flight with Aeromexico was fine and landed on time however it couldn’t find a gate and we were late which made us lose our connecting flight with Aeromexico. The staff handled it horribly when we explained our situation and would not led us board when we missed the boarding time by a couple minutes. The staff were extremely rude and did not attempt to even help us. Because of this incident, my husband and I missed a full day of work which negatively impacted our salary which we need. Please compensate us for the work that we missed.

It was OK. The flight is pretty long for the airlines to only offer a simple sandwich on business class. The entertainment is similar to that on other Skyteam members. Ultimately the airline lost my bag and didn’t deliver it to me until the next day after a lengthy lost baggage report.

Aeroméxico cancelled my ticket without advice AND It make a last minute mess in my intinerary, no solving my situation, bad advice and bad customer service

The ground staff were not as friendly and nice to the passengers as the air crew. Flight attendants, cockpit crew were great and very nice to everyone on board.

My flight was delayed, then I got transferred to a new flight that was also delayed- which wasn’t Aeromexico’s fault, it was because of weather conditions. Most of the crew was very nice and patient, except for one or two flight attendants who were rude. The entertainment wasn’t on, so all the screens were off.

My wife's entertainment system did not work. Payed for flight upgrade but did not receive advertised "free WiFi".

Annoying that we had to go to departures and get boarding passes. Should allow us to be booked all the way through, this is the only airline i have this problem with in MEX. Late boarding and take off

Lousy No wheelchair. As normal at Atlanta Cheap airline Cheap aero plane. - Neither entertainment nor food on a 5 hour saga

The airplane was an old airplane, seats were very uncomfortable and very little space, they changed my seat and that was no option to get back into my seat even when I was traveling a senior who required assistance.

This is not a low cost airline. Stop acting like o e.

The business class seats are dated and uncomfortable. The space is bare minimum and there is absolutely no privacy. For $4K, this is not what I expect.

Flight, food and crew were all good, friendly and very satisfactory.

Lost luggage after 2 days no word leaving on cruise no stuff or clothes

Staff's did their best to make everyone comfortable and I appreciate them for it

Pathetic check in experience once again. Not enough staff scheduled at bag drop or for special assistance at LHR. Really need to rethink the whole self check in procedure. The crew was good. A very decent selection of special meals in this leg as compared to the JFK-LHR leg.

Very clean and comfortable cabin. Amazing Mediterranean salad for lunch before landing. Great range of films to watch. Really quiet and easy to sleep on the flight also. The initial food was a bit weird: odd fried chicken pieces in some weird white gloop, but that would be my lack of cultural knowledge on the grub. Salad more than made up for it at the other end. Staff were super attentive and helpful. Great and easy flight

Flight was delayed again and again ultimately almost three hours getting us to our location at close to midnight by the time we got in and out of airport to destination. I had taken time off work to enjoy an evening at destination and that was now wasted

I flew Business Class. Rory, one of the Cabin stewards, was attentive, explained the menu, provided appropriate drinks. was

The flight crew were friendly and attentive. Food was good and they passed out ice cream and drinks awhile after Lunch was done. The ice cream was a nice treat! I found several movies to watch during the flight. There was many movies and tv shows to choose from. We flew Premium economy and there was enough leg room to be comfortable. The seats were also comfortable. I would fly AA again if the airfare isn’t expensive.

More choices on menu. Seemed only thing offered was Scottish, and while that’s good for the Scot’s it doesn’t help the Americans who don’t like that food. And I really hate it when, during sleep time the attendants have a very loud conversation right over you. Lastly, I paid 5000 dollars for business class, and having to pay more to choose my seat early is really an insult. Seems greedy

People were nice. Seats are so cramped my knees had to be pressed into the seat in front of me.

Overall, the food and entertainment were great. The staff were amazing, polite and professional. They did not have WiFi on board on this leg but that was okay. There was a delay in boarding from London and landing at Mumbai airport but the pilot communicate DC the reason for the delayed landing. They even sent us an apology afterwards for the delayed landing.

Big queues on arrival at airport despite having already checked in and only needed to drop bags off. Flight delayed which impacted on connecting flight.

I was in a bulkhead seat and my tray table wasn't level. Eating was difficult.

Nice lounge but had a 5 hour layover which is a lot

Flight on time and priority boarding worked. I travelled economy although business was available as no flights are cheap these days and at least with BA loyalty card I get a baggage allowance for nothing. That made the flight comparable or even cheaper than the ‘budget’ alternative. As for catering and entertainment - not on a BA short haul economy ! At least we were offered biscuits and water! Catering for economy short haul has been reduced to the minimum - no tea or coffee or other drinks than water (from a large bottle with a paper cup on offer). They will say this is better for the environment, which it is, but proper waste management is still needed for empty packets etc. so actually it’s a money saver.

Audi visual not working for a whole group of seats in first class. How does a plane leave the main hub in such poor condition? How much that we can’t see so immediately is also compromised?

The check-in baggage belt was broken (which is understandable) but what was surprising is they would check you in, give a baggage tag and then you have to drag the baggage to a different counter at the end of airport. No vegetarian option in in-flight meal. British Airways remains the worst big name airlines and always my last option while booking.

main meals are horrible but then you dont fly for the food

It was good. Couldn’t Check in online and select seats

Fine, charter flights. Plane full, and staff nice and friendly. No option for free food or drink. Entertainment through paid app.

The 737-8 is too small for the length of flight especially if there are any delays

The flight was delayed over 2 hours, we should off left the plane2 late passengers as it’s not fair on everyone who’s followed the rules.

Dreamliner. Yes great if maintained. I didn't see anyones screen work consistently during either of our flights. Worse was their ability to not only dump you out of premium but separate couples and seat someone's carer at the opposite end of the aircraft. This poor gentleman had no hand so his partner who assists him, being seated at the other end of the aircraft, well that really showed us all what Tui think :( It was fairly dire all in all, they advertise all the perks of the dreamliner only in reality you don't have the features and they change the windows and colours to suit their constant sales pitches. Ironically they were so low on stock for the return flight that all their sales pitches were a waste of time! Their contract only favours them and 'operational changes' well they cover every excuse and Tui use it. Surprisingly we haven't reinstalled the Tui app or booked with them since. It's a shame as I rated them highly during the pandemic.

One flight attendant not wearing a mask over nose, 50% of passengers not either, and no effort to correct. Boarding was very late with no information - lots of standing around waiting.
