Direct flights (when available) from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport (DGO) save time and reduce the stress of connections, but they can be seasonal and more expensive. Connecting itineraries—typically routing through Mexico City (MEX), Guadalajara (GDL), or Monterrey—offer more daily schedule options and often lower fares, at the cost of longer total travel time. In October, weigh your priorities: pay more for convenience if you have limited time, or choose a one-stop savings route if price and airline choice matter more. For connections through Mexico City, allow 90+ minutes for international transfers; for domestic Mexican connections, 60–90 minutes is often adequate.
