Question 1

How much are cheap flights to Mexico?

Accepted Answer

Cheap flights to Mexico from the US are everywhere. Brokepackr's data shows round-trips from border states starting under $200 on Spirit, Frontier, Volaris, and VivaAerobus. From further afield, $250-400 is typical. Mexico City (MEX) consistently gets the cheapest fares.

Question 2

What is the cheapest month to fly to Mexico?

Accepted Answer

September and October are the cheapest months in Brokepackr's data — hurricane season scares people off Cancún, which drags prices down everywhere. You'll save 20-30% compared to the December-January peak.

Question 3

How much is a flight to Mexico from the US?

Accepted Answer

From border states (Texas, California, Arizona), round-trips to Mexico start under $200. From the East Coast, $250-350 is common. West Coast to Mexico City runs $300-400. Cancún is pricier than CDMX from most origins.

Question 4

Should I fly into Mexico City or Cancun?

Accepted Answer

Mexico City (MEX) has cheaper fares and better onward connections — Volaris domestic flights start at $30. Cancún (CUN) is better if heading straight to the Yucatán coast. Brokepackr tip: multi-city tickets (in MEX, out CUN) often save $50-100.

Question 5

How much does a month in Mexico cost?

Accepted Answer

Brokepackr's Cost Index estimates $1,200-1,500 total for 30 days including flights. Ground costs run $30-40/day — street tacos for $0.80, dorm beds for $8-12, and the comida corrida (set lunch) is the best $3 meal on the planet.

Question 6

Do you need a visa for Mexico?

Accepted Answer

US, Canadian, UK, EU, and Australian passport holders get 180 days visa-free — nearly six months with no paperwork. Keep your FMM form (the immigration slip they give you at entry). Losing it means a fine and a headache at the airport when you leave.
