When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in March around $622 and peak in January near $886, 42% dearer, across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 12 hours outbound, on a 5-night trip — ticketed under Avianca, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $622 for 7,683 km each way, that works out to about $40 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 22 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Rio de Janeiro, this fare ranks 5th — 28% above the $487 from New York. It is also the 3rd cheapest of the 23 routes of similar length we watch out of Mexico City. The best time to be in Rio de Janeiro: Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct.

Good to know
MEX → RIO, answered.
Is $622 a good price for Mexico City to Rio de Janeiro?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $775 round-trip. At $622 you're 20% below that, which we rate good for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Mexico City to Rio de Janeiro?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Mar comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Rio de Janeiro are Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book MEX → Rio de Janeiro?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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, Mar comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Mexico City to Rio de Janeiro?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Avianca. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). 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.
