Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Apr is the cheapest for MEX → LIM. Best time to be there: Dec–Apr.
Fares bottom out in April around $378 and peak in November near $463 — a $85 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 10 hours outbound, on a 31-night trip — ticketed under Arajet, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $378 for 4,254 km each way, that works out to about $44 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $39 typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 3 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Lima, this fare ranks 2nd — 52% above the $248 from São Paulo.

MEX → LIM, answered.
Is $378 a good price for Mexico City to Lima?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $445 round-trip and this fare is 15% under it, about $67. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Mexico City to Lima?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Apr comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Lima are Dec–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book MEX → Lima?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Apr comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Mexico City to Lima?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Arajet. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). 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.
