Accepted Answer

Using Orbitz, you'll find some of the most amazing flight deals around from a terrific range of airlines. But if you'd love to increase your likelihood of landing cheap flights to Mexico City, here are a few pointers to consider:

Departing from or arriving at nearby airports may be more affordable. Enter your preferred departure and arrival airports. Next, select the 'Nearby airports' function below the form fields to see what your options are.
Similarly, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link to view the prices on days either side of your chosen departure. It's possible to pick up cheaper flight deals if your dates are flexible.
Hit 'Show options' to fine tune your search results. You can pick your preferred seating class and airline here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even select whether you'd like to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
The early bird catches the most rewarding savings, so book as soon as you've worked out your travel dates. The most affordable fares are quick to sell out and prices generally rise as the departure date nears.
Save even more on your vacation by bundling your flights, hotels and car rental into an Orbitz package. Your bank account will thank you.
