What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Mexico City for December 9 to 12, 2026, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The old basilica leans visibly; the new one holds 10,000 and still overflows.
- December 12 is a de facto national holiday; many businesses close.
- The basilica is 20 minutes from MEX by taxi off-peak; the La Villa-Basílica metro station is beside it.
