It is well-connected to the city center and serves as a hub for exploring the broader region. The newer Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) is farther north and used by some low-cost carriers, but it has limited service from Raleigh and is less convenient for most travelers. For direct access to Mexico City's core and onward travel, MEX is the best option."
