How much is a taxi from AICM to Roma Norte?
At the terminal you have two legitimate ways to reach Roma Norte: the authorized taxi (sitio) desks, or a prearranged private transfer. The sitio desks charge a zone-based fare that is only confirmed once you pay at the counter, so you land not knowing the exact total. A private transfer to Roma Norte is priced the same way — by zone — except the fare is fixed and shown online before you fly: from $31 USD for a Sedán, all-inclusive with taxes and tolls. Either option covers the same 11-kilometer route in the 25-to-50-minute range described above. Note that Roma Norte is served from AICM, not AIFA (Felipe Ángeles) — Mexico City’s second airport, about 50 kilometers north — so if a connecting flight lands there instead, budget separate time and transport.
Meeting your driver at the airport
Clear customs at AICM and walk straight out to the street — your host is waiting outside the arrivals doors with a sign bearing your name, ready to walk you to your air-conditioned vehicle. Keep walking past anyone offering rides inside the terminal.
