The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Volaris nonstop and takes about 2.5 hours outbound, on a 2-night trip. At $259 for 1,210 km each way, that works out to about $107 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $41 typical of short-haul fares here. We have 1 month of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage.

MEX → HOU, answered.
How far in advance should I book MEX → Houston?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Mexico City to Houston?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Volaris). The outbound leg runs around 2.5 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on August 30). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
