The airport just received the Versailles award with just other 5 more in the world. It was built with 80+ million passengers per year in mind. There’s a train being built that will get you almost to the boarding gates.. it is expected to be opening in the next couple of months. The people that complain it’s mainly because they want the airport to be next to their house.
I could see why it received the award. The airport was super efficient to move through and looks like it has space to add many more flights into the future. Once the train is ready, it will be a great airport!
I don't understand why people cry so much about transportation,we travel the whole day to get to our destination from Mexico City to Puebla every time we visit our family from NY.
A train to the airport is been built already, will open in a couple months, so trips from CDMX will take 30 mins. and will cost around $60-$90 pesos one way.
Lo dudo mucho muchísimas cosas en contra. Ejemplos solo 20 gates , este aeropuerto. Estará saturado con solo 20 millones de pasajeros. Las grandes aerolíneas. Internacionales no vuelan ni volarán de ahí . Lo malo que todos los mexicanos estamos pagando por el cancelado y estamos pagando por este y pagaremos por las remodelaciones. Del viejo aeropuerto 😢

The main purpose of the new airport for now is for commercial flights with merchandise as to allow the existing airport more breathing room. There's train in the works to get to the new airport.
Once the train is running, the airport will be much more accessible. I was surprised at how many (mostly domestic) flights are already departing each day from NLU.
Besides the train which is in the works (maybe 6 months til it's operational) there is already public transportation from AIFA to CDMX center, although it's a little tedious and non linear but at least there it is the option. So it's called "Mexibus (similar to Mexico City's "Metrobus") basically an "urban bus" that rolls in its own exclusive lane (so no traffic), starts at AIFA then goes through some cities of Mexico State (keep in mind you have to make a transboard from one bus to another of the exact same tipe but different route) then once you get to the terminal it connects with the "Metro (subway) system" specifically "Line B" that leeds to Buenavista Station (which is the same place where the future train will depart from), in a very central part of CDMX, and of course once in the Metro you can go anywere were the metro goes, so to grap it up from AIFA to Buenavista Station costs $30 MXP and timewise it's roughly an hour to an hour and a half, as i said its tedious but doable and if you're looking for it to be cheaper, this is as good as it gets, plus if there's traffic in a more direct route this is the viable option
Thank you for your very well written comment. The train will be excellent for this airport and for CDMX once it opens! The Mexibus option did show in google maps as one route into the city, but it also showed it would take almost 2 hours after at least 2 more bus transfers, so not really a great option. Again, thanks for your comment, it has alot of great information!!
Yes I agree, the old airport has outgrown itself in every regard. AIFA is a nice modern upgrade! Thanks for the comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!
There are MANY formal buses lines that go to all parts of Mexico City, the best ones are ETN, Primera Plus, Omnibus, Turistar, ADO, and many many others. And also go to many nearby cities, and all parts of CDMX
Thank you for this comment! While I can provide my personal experiences and honest opinions in a video, I could never pretend to know everything about a destination. Comments like this one can help many people on their journey to/from the airport and beyond! Thank you
Sorry but of course there’s public transportation to the AIFA, there’s one line of Mexibus that goes from Ciudad Azteca Subway station to Aifa. And there’s also many lines of formal buses that go to the 4 corners of Mexico City and also go to the nearby cities of the center of the country. And the train is almost finish.
Yes I was pleasantly surprised at the AIFA bus terminal (near the end of the video) at how many bus and van services were operating to many different areas of the city and country. The train will of course be the best option when it is completed. I can’t find a definitive answer as to when it will be finished. The original online news articles mentioned mid 2024, which has come and gone. Some of the other viewers who commented say 2 months, 3 months, 6 months?
Also, the reason why this airport seems so massive in terms of acreage is because right next to this international airport is the Mexican Air Force Base of Santa Lucia which was modernized and expanded as well while they built this airport. Santa Lucia is the largest of 18 Mexican Air Force bases spread throughout the country.
While I was waiting for my flight to depart (which was perfectly on time), there were some impressive fighter jets doing fly overs and landing at the airport.
The train will open next begining next year. the airport is ment for international flights. it will gradually replace the old one. the time is ok. less than Paris, Tokio narita, JFK, LA, Roma, etc... and wayyy cheaper.
Yes its true, many large cities have their airports outside the city. As long as there is a train to the airport, it works fine. I flew through Tokyo Narita and Bangkok BKK earlier this year. Both airports were outside the city, but very efficient trains had you in the city no problem!
TAXTaxis do take advantage of travel no matter what city you are talking about. Last November, I visited friends and arrived at O’Hare Airport around 12:30 AM. The taxi charged me $89. There was no traffic to Berwyn, IL, and it took over 40 minutes.
Yes that is exactly one of the reasons I don’t use them. Almost every traveller has a horror story no matter what city or country. Give me a high speed train any day!
What do you prefer more? AICM or AIFA, taking into account the distances between airports, transport etc... the AIFA is the best airport of México City, is so beautiful, I do almost the same time from my house to the AIFA and the AICM
If you are close to AIFA, it is far more efficient to move through the airport to your gate. Once the train is completed, that will take the new airport to another level of service. AICM is just so big to get through, it is a little overwhelming, although the ability to take the subway is a big bonus that makes it accessible to almost everybody. Many large cities in the world (Tokyo, Bangkok, Seoul) have their airport outside the city and everybody uses the train to get into the city.
A train is under construction right now, is almost finished… but privates take too long 🙄 the part that public sector built was finished so quickly 🙄 but private companies are corrupted and slow
A train is under construction, in a few months it will be finished and will be able to transport you, also a branch of the insurgent train that goes to Toluc will arrive at AIFA.
Thank you for mentioning the train @LAGRANCAGUAMA, I'm 7 minutes into the video, and so far Cristo, has not mentioned anything about a soon to be TRAIN, is going to be cheaper, but most importantly, it would be much faster. GREAT JOB PRESIDENT OBRADOR 🇲🇽
The train will be an amazing addition to this airport! True, as you mention the cost will be nice, but the faster travel time will be the really great thing! Not sure if it was mentioned in one of the comments or from my previous research, but I believe I read it will be 39 minutes from AIFA to Buenavista station 👍

The official airport taxi quoted me 900 pesos. The prices were also on a sign in front of their business. I opted to go with a 20 seat van service in the bus terminal for 140 pesos. That worked out great!
Also, I don't know why tourists like yourself cry about the taxi fare from AIFA to Roma Norte. Try taking a dam taxi ride from JFK airport to Manhattan and you will pay double or triple what you pay in Mexico City. Cry cry cry....that's all tourists do in Mexico. What do you guys want seriously? You want the Mexican taxi to take you anywhere you want for 50 pesos??? Get real man...those guys have to make a living just like you and just like the overpriced taxi driver at JFK.
I don’t take taxis ever anywhere if I can help it! Thats why I mention the lack of train so many times! I take trains!! On my channel, I specifically have many videos and a playlist about videos I’ve made taking a high speed train from an international airport…Bangkok, Seoul, Tokyo Narita, Toronto and actually my video from last week was about taking the subway from the other CDMX airport. No taxis for me!
If you would have done proper research before uploading this video, you would have found out that they are building a train to go to and from the airport very efficiently from Mexico City. Also, if you think the terminal is big now, just wait till they build the second half right next to the current one with the very same building dimensions and its own runways which is why they built this airport with the future in mind and for the future growth of Mexico City and not necessarily for the present needs. 😁
Yes I understand they are currently building a train system. That will be amazing when it is ready! The terminal itself is very efficient and laid out really well as far as getting through security to your gate. This video is about my experience both departing and landing at Felipe Angeles Airport and as of now, there is no train to take. Other viewers have mentioned it is supposed to be ready in 2-3 months, that would be excellent!

Went to Mexico City’s old airport; it was caca… This new one was sorely needed! Thanks for the video showing the new one👏🏼

The Train is a couple of months away from opening and it will be the fastest and safest way to arrive from and to CDMX.
That will be excellent!!

THERE'S A TRAIN LINE UNDER CONSTRUCTION FROM DOWNTOWN MÉXICO CITY TO AIRPORT AND BACK, AND IT SUPPOSED TO BE OPERATING ON DECEMBER 2024.
Also, the reason why this airport seems so massive in terms of acreage is because right next to this international airport is the Mexican Air Force Base of Santa Lucia which was modernized and expanded as well while they built this airport.

Their building a train it’s about half done it’s going to be the best airport in Mexico

Sorry, it wasn't clear, what was the main issue?
btw, is about to open a train station, and currently there are plenty of shuttles
A train is under construction right now, is almost finished… but privates take too long 🙄 the part that public sector built was finished so quickly 🙄 but private companies are corrupted and slow
Ahh ok interesting
I have the impression that Chris complained to much about the distance from CDM To the AIFA.
Yes maybe 🤣
I love AIFA!!
It is efficient, modern and well designed!! Thanks for the comment!
A train is under construction, in a few months it will be finished and will be able to transport you, also a branch of the insurgent train that goes to Toluc will arrive at AIFA.
Not true. The Toluca train ends at Observatorio. The train that will connect aifa to mexico city is the Suburbano fron aifa to Buenavista.
In short it will be a trajín to comunícate the AirPort with Mexico city and the metro…
super nice ur supermarket
