Would you book a connection through MEX on purpose over a tighter routing?

I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through Benito Juarez with a longer stop.

The appeal is good food payoff on longer stops plus lots of domestic options. The hesitation is traffic back to the airport.

Would you intentionally route through Mexico City if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose MEX on purpose if the airport quality meaningfully lowers the chance of a chaotic connection day.

The best itinerary is not always the shortest one. Sometimes the calmer hub is worth far more than the saved hour on paper.

That said, if traffic back to the airport is tied to the season or the exact bank of flights you are using, I would model that before committing.

A longer routing only wins when the extra time actually buys comfort, flexibility, or a better recovery window.
