Also, as much as T1 at MEX sucks, it at least is 1) close to the city (as you mentioned), and 2) has a few Priority Pass lounges (sometimes with edible food).
Agreed. While MEX is far from my favorite airport, it's not too bad. Interjet is great for intra-Mexico flights. As for the comment on the metro, I wonder under what circumstances it makes sense. I was in Mexico City in March and the Uber fare from my hotel in Roma Norte to MEX was 110 MXP, or about $5. I mean I love trying out public transit as much as the next guy but Ubers are so cheap there. I did take metro around the city while I was there and I think the fare is about 30 cents US equiv. I paid ~$10 from the airport to my hotel on the inbound via taxi. It was cheaper than an Uber and they were waiting right there.
