Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Nov is the cheapest for MEX → HKT. Best time to be there: Nov–Mar.
Fares bottom out in November around $1,295 and peak in December near $1,776 — a $481 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 3 stops and takes about 25 hours outbound, on a 8-night trip — ticketed under Volaris, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $1,295 for 16,419 km each way, that works out to about $39 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $40 typical of ultra-long-haul fares here. Across the 12 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Phuket, this fare ranks 11th — 2.7× the $488 we hold from San Francisco. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 24 routes of similar length we watch out of Mexico City, where the middle fare is $1,371.

MEX → HKT, answered.
Is $1,295 a good price for Mexico City to Phuket?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $1,405 round-trip and this fare is 8% under it, about $110. 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 Phuket?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Phuket are Nov–Mar — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book MEX → Phuket?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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, Nov 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 Phuket?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Volaris. 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.
