Mexico main airport is second busiest in Latin America, after Bogota. With around 1000 departures and arrivals per day, shutter clicking every few minutes is guaranteed. However, the monotonous traffic, where the overwhelming majority are Aeromexico planes, can quickly become boring. In addition to the national carrier, there are many other Mexicans – Volaris, Viva Airbus and some others. Plus airlines from the USA, South American countries and some flights from Europe. There are several great spots around the airport – I can recommend the McDonald’s Bridge spot and especially the La Casa de la Aviacion spotter cafe.
