Make sure to hold on to any receipts, slips or documents issued to you by Mexican immigration authorities throughout the entire trip.Mexico City International Airport (MEX) is the busiest airport in Mexico and the busiest airport in Latin America by passenger numbers. The DNI tax is not to be confused with the Mexican Airport Departure Tax, which will be automatically included with any flight ticket purchase, and will also appear on the itemised receipt. Note that those arriving by land and departing from Mexico within 7 days are exempt from paying the fee. If you are departing by land, you are still required to pay this tax, which can also be done at a bank. The exact fee is subject to change at the time of writing, it amounts to just under $30 per person. Note that the tax can only be paid in cash, in USD, Mexican pesos or Sterling. If you’re leaving Mexico by air, the easiest way to pay this tax will be at the check-in counter for your departing flight/the airport immigration office. If, however, your airfare does not include this tax, or if you’ve been travelling by land, the tax will need to be paid separately. Request an itemised receipt from your tour agent or airline, where the DNI charge is normally listed, and present it at check-in and/or immigration in order to avoid double payment. Nearly every commercial airline flying into Mexico now includes the Tourism Tax (known as DNI – Derecho No Inmigrante) in the price of each flight ticket. You can buy tickets at the metro station or purchase a rechargeable metro card.Īlternatively, the Metrobus operates between city center and the airport, and stops at Puerta 7 at Terminal 1 and Puerta 2 at Terminal 2.Īnother option for lower fares is the rideshare company Uber. Line 1, 5, 9 and A are within walking distance from Terminal 2, and the stop is called “Pantitlán”. The stop 'Terminal Aérea' on line 5 can be found next to airport Terminal 1.

While the metro might not be the best option if you are travelling with heavy luggage, it provides a much cheaper way of getting to and from the airport. You can buy tickets inside the airport and cars are available at Terminals 1 and 2. There are several airport taxis recognizable as white and yellow (with black logos of an airplane) that transport you to and from the city.

You can reach the airport or city center by taxi, metro or bus. International airlines fly here from larger cities around the globe. The Benito Juarez International Airport is located east of Mexico City and it has two terminals connected by a bus and light rail system.
