Why go now
At $507 per person, this fare is $16, or 3%, under the $523 median of our earlier checks on this route. That's a small gap, not a steal: the lowest of our six checks in the last 30 days was $342. What makes it work is the nonstop, 7h 47m out of LAX at 7:17 PM Friday, so you don't burn a workday. Late October is also Día de Muertos season. The big parade on Reforma falls in late October or the first days of November, so check the date before you plan around it. The forecast is mild, with highs of 68–72°F, lows of 54–56°F and a 49% to 62% chance of drizzle each day. It's a food-and-museum weekend, and a light rain jacket covers it. Fares are all-in as found and can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city getaway built around food, museums and late nights: tacos, mezcal bars, Aztec ruins and Diego Rivera murals. It suits a couple or two friends who like to walk and eat well. You land just before midnight and fly home at dawn, so the pace is quick: a Friday night, one full Saturday and an early Sunday start.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?

Is that a good price?
It's fair. The fare is $16, or 3%, below the $523 median of our earlier checks on this route. The lowest we saw in the last 30 days was $342, so this one is solid but not the low point.

Yes, you need a passport for Mexico. You'll pay in Mexican pesos (MXN), and the city is 1 hour ahead of Los Angeles.

The forecast shows highs of 68–72°F and lows of 54–56°F from Oct 23 to 25, with drizzle each day. The rain chance runs from 49% on Friday to 62% on Sunday, so pack a light rain layer.
Is 2 nights enough?
