You can currently fly to Mexico for only €334 with Lufthansa, SWISS, or United. You’ll only have one layover on your way to Mexico City and can fly until September 2021!
Luggage is, however, not included. Should you wish to check in a piece of luggage, you should book the Economy Basic fare for an additional €100. Lufthansa also permits Star Alliance Gold members to check in one piece of luggage when booking a Light fare, but it is unclear until when they’ll continue to do so.
You can fly from the following French cities:
There are many options for you to choose from: You could fly with Lufthansa via Munich or Frankfurt, or with SWISS via Zurich. You could also fly with United via the United States (especially if you’re departing from Paris), but this could be a risky option, as the USA currently don’t allow Europeans to enter the country – even for transit.
We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.
By the way, this isn’t our only deal economy class deal from France:

Information & Tips for Mexico City
3 Tips for Mexico City
Mexico City is not quite as touristic as, for example, the seaside resort city and party destination Cancun. This means that hardly anybody speaks English, but you also don’t have to be afraid of being ripped off because you look like a tourist. My 3 tips for Mexico City:
- Torre Latinoamericana: The office tower – which looks a bit ugly from the outside – offers a fantastic view over the city, especially at dusk. The ticket is valid for several visits over the course of a whole day and costs 110 Pesos (= 4,50€).
- Chapultepec Park: There is a free zoo in Chapultepec Park. Even though admission is free, you can admire a total of 252 different animal species.
- Teotihuacán: A little outside of town are the impressive pyramids of Teotihuacán. I recommend that you get there early, otherwise you’ll have to wait in line for a long time. I came by public bus (not through an organized tour), I found the instructions on how to do that in this blog. I would also recommend checking out the cave restaurant there!
For getting around Mexico City I recommend using Uber. The countless taco stands are also great and extremely cheap. However, make sure that the meat is adequately cooled. Unfortunately, you often see that raw meat is lying somewhere in the blazing sun.
