Why go now
The fare we found for Oct 23–25 is $651 per person round trip, or $1,301 for two, taxes and fees included. That's $29 above $622, the median of 8 earlier checks on this route, so this isn't a markdown. Earlier checks dipped as low as $440, and fares move both ways. The rest of the math is what makes it work: two nights at Hotel More By Kavia cost $222 total, and with $90 per person per day for food and getting around, the weekend comes to $1,884 for two. Timing is the other draw. It's Día de Muertos season, and the big parade on Reforma falls in late October or the first days of November, so check the date before you count on catching it. Expect highs of 68–70°F with drizzle likely, which is fine for museums, long lunches and taco runs.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city and food weekend: museums in the morning, a long lunch, mezcal and tacos late. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like to walk, eat well and don't mind a fast pace. Two nights is tight, so it works best if you pick a few neighborhoods and a couple of big sights instead of trying to see everything.
