Distance and time PHX–MEX
The map distance is about 1,253 miles. Without a regular nonstop from PHX to MEX, plan on 3 hours of flying plus a connection. Filter results by total trip time, not only by the number of stops.
Mexico City is about 1 hour ahead of Phoenix on standard time (America/Phoenix vs America/Mexico_City). Arrival clocks on MEX are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
Most Phoenix–Mexico City journeys connect rather than fly nonstop from PHX. Timed one-stop itineraries often bank at Miami International (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL). That is a pattern, not a promise for your dates. On results, sort by fastest if you care about layover pain, or cheapest if you do not.

You depart Phoenix Sky Harbor International in Phoenix, United States, and arrive at Benito Juárez International in Mexico City, Mexico.
