Why go now
The fare is $265 per person, or $529 for two, nonstop both ways. That matches the $265 median of our five earlier checks on this route, so it isn't a markdown. The lowest we saw was $255 on Oct 12. What makes it worth it is the whole weekend. A 9.2-rated room runs $89 a night, and our full budget for two comes to $1,067, with $530 for flights, $177 for the hotel and $360 for spending. Late October is also Día de Muertos season. The big parade on Reforma falls in late October or the first days of November, so this weekend may or may not land on it. The forecast shows highs of 68–70°F, lows of 56–58°F and drizzle with a 49% to 66% chance of rain each day, so pack a light rain jacket. It's a good fit for a fast food-and-museums weekend that starts Friday night.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city break built around food, culture and history, with nightlife if you want it. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who like to eat well and walk a lot. The pace is quick: you land Friday night, spend all of Saturday out and fly home early Sunday. Pick one big outing and one big dinner and you've got the weekend.

Where to stay in Mexico City
Suites Copérnico Polanco Anzures is the best value at $177 for both nights ($89 a night) for a Standard King Room.
