Getting to Monterrey from Mexico City


Getting to Monterrey from Mexico City (Ciudad de México/ D.F.)?

Usually, the foreigners come only to Mexico City, and if you are one of them and want to know how to get to Monterrey here are some tips:

By Air:
This is the best way to get to Monterrey, but the most expensive, and what we recommend, why? because is the fastest way!, so you may know airlines got more expensive prices on their site right?, no?, well, now you know!, one of my favorite sites to search for flight tickets is Expedia, BUT take care cause if you want to change your tickets they charge you a fine, so you may read everything in there, but if you are not the kind of people who likes to change its tickets then is okay, I use to buy my tickets there because is the cheapest way for me right now and i haven't had any problems so far.

1) You got to search for flights from Mexico City (MEX) to Monterrey (MTY).
You can find these airlines:
Vivaaerobus: cheap, but it has restrictions, take a look.
Volaris: cheap and good, We usually fly with this one.
Interjet: a little bit expensive but good.
Aeromexico: expensive and almost excellent.
Magnicharters: expensive and almost excellent.

2) Search for an hotel, again in Expedia, or in the hotel site, We recommend:
Quinta Real
NH Collection Monterrey
Safi Royal
Camino Real
City Express Plus Monterrey Nuevo Sur
All of these have an amazing location, safe and close to the best malls in the city!

3) The best way to get to the airport from your hotel to AICMX is by Taxi or Uber, PLEASE avoid to use metro!!! a lot of people recommend this but I don't, It is easy to get lost there and there's A LOT of people, if you want a safe taxi ask for one at reception ( if u don't mind to pay x2), that's up to you, I recommend Uber, easy and cheap.
Take your time, the city has a lot of traffic, and AICMX is full of people!!. It's better wait in the airport than losing you flight due to the time.

4)  Once you are in the AICMX, ask for help to find your terminal, yes, is not difficult, but just to be sure.

5)  Once you get to Monterrey, you will find a lot less people and a smaller airport but a beautiful one!, to get to your hotel you have 2 options:
     A) Airport taxis, they have a fixed rate, but it is usually high, for example, We would pay 25 american dolars to home. If you choose this option, there is at least 6 different companies, We recommend Taxis Ejecutivos (the cheaper company).
     B) Uber, the cheaper option in Monterrey, It is cheaper here than in Mexico City due to low traffic, for example we would pay 10-17 dolars to home.
