Our verdict
Worth it, if
- £127 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Hotel Marlowe Centro Histórico, rated 9 by 2,807 guests
- Typical highs 72–75°F, lows near 50°F this time of year
The catch: Not nonstop: a stop on the way, 20h 43m in all.
Worth it if you want to walk, eat and see things; skip it if you want to switch off.
When we checked, round-trip flights from Orlando to Mexico City cost $363 per person all-in ($725 for two) for Thursday, Nov 19 to Sunday, Nov 22, 2026, which is 3 nights.

Typical highs are 72–75°F, and Hotel Marlowe Centro Histórico is the best-value stay at $84 a night.

Why now
The fare is $363 per person round trip, or $725 for two, with taxes and fees included when we checked. That's $169 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 32% gap across 12 offers that ran from $363 to $532. If you'd rather skip the overnight connection on VB, a Y4 nonstop came in at $366 per person and takes 6h 48m. Mid-November weather here is comfortable for walking, with typical highs of 72–75°F and lows near 50°F. Add three nights at Hotel Marlowe Centro Histórico for $252, and our rough budget for two comes to $1,518, including $540 in spending money. This is a long weekend for eating, museums and late nights out. Prices move, so these numbers are what we found, not a promise.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city break built around food, museums and nightlife. You can take it slow or pack it full. It suits couples and friends who want to eat their way through neighborhoods, look at Diego Rivera murals and stay out for mezcal. On the VB fare you land Friday morning and fly home Sunday morning, so plan for two full days and pick your priorities.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
$363 per person round trip, or $725 for two, all-in when we checked. That's on VB with one stop. A Y4 nonstop was $366 per person ($732 for two) and takes 6h 48m, leaving at 5:05 PM and landing at 7:45 PM the same evening.
Do I need a passport?
Yes, you need a passport for Mexico. The local currency is the Mexican peso (MXN), and the city runs 1 hour behind Orlando.
What is the weather like?
Typical highs are 72–75°F and lows are near 50°F. The seasonal normals show drizzle on Thursday, overcast skies Friday and Saturday, and partly cloudy skies on Sunday, so pack a layer for the evenings.
Is 3 nights enough?
It's enough for a solid taste. On the VB fare you land at 7:45 AM Friday and leave at 11:10 AM Sunday, which gives you two full days. Spend one on Teotihuacán and the other on Coyoacán and food.
What does the whole trip cost for two?
Our rough budget is $1,518 for two: $726 for flights, $252 for three nights at Hotel Marlowe Centro Histórico and $540 in spending money, which is $90 a day each.
Can I cancel the hotel if plans change?
Not for free. None of the three hotels we found offers free cancellation, and all three are room only, so be sure of your dates before you book.
