How do you survive an overnight layover at Benito Juarez?

CabinCrew_SophieOPApr 27

I have an overnight connection coming up at Benito Juarez and I want to avoid the usual pattern of a bad meal, terrible sleep, and feeling useless on arrival.

The airport seems promising because of strong regional connectivity, but I know traffic back to the airport can still make the stop much rougher than expected.

What would you pack, book, or prioritize to make an overnight in Mexico City actually manageable?

My overnight kit is always the same: eye mask, earplugs, toothbrush, charger, backup snack, and one layer that makes bad air-conditioning less miserable.

If strong regional connectivity is real at MEX, I would build the whole stop around rest quality first and food second.

The biggest overnight mistake is pretending you can improvise sleep once you land. Pick the rest plan before the first flight even departs.

Even a mediocre hotel or sleep pod can be worth it if the next day in Mexico City matters at all.
