When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in May around $314 and peak in April near $479, 53% dearer, across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 6 hours outbound, on a 18-night trip — ticketed under Aeroméxico, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $314 for 3,360 km each way, that works out to about $47 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $43 per 1,000 km typical of medium-haul fares here. Across the 6 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Mexico City, this fare ranks 2nd — 48% above the $212 from Chicago. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 8 routes of similar length we watch out of New York, where the middle fare is $314. The best time to be in Mexico City: Mar–May · Oct–Nov.

Good to know
NYC → MEX, answered.
Is $314 a good price for New York to Mexico City?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $380 round-trip and this fare is 17% under it. 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 New York to Mexico City?
Across 6 months of cached-fare history, May comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Mexico City are Mar–May · Oct–Nov — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book NYC → Mexico City?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 6 months of cached fares, May comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from New York to Mexico City?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Aeroméxico. 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.
