Miami, Florida. All the major Mexican airlines fly there (Volaris, Viva AeroBus, AeroMexico) with a layover. The trip takes all day. It's the same as flying from California to New York with a layover. - Sep 2024
Home is Utah and it's an easy but lengthy drive. You can easily drive to Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, etc. Unfortunately, the airport in HMO is not well connected. Only one flight per day going to Phoenix and for almost every itinerary you have to fly to CDMX first and then your destination. Travel around Mexico from HMO is not as easy as you'd hope. - Jun 2023
Utah. It is about a 19 hour drive. There are flights to SLC connecting through Phoenix, but they are more expensive than you would expect and it is usually worth it to drive, especially when traveling as a family. The airport in Hermosillo is not well connected to the rest of Mexico directly, but there are plenty of flights to Mexico City. This is fine if you are traveling to Cancun but can be annoying if you are looking to go to western Mexico or the U.S. - Sep 2022
Certain flights are seasonal so at times it's easier to travel to the US (Jan-Jun) than the other half of the year. - Sep 2022
Northern California, USA. One can choose to drive on HWY 15 through Nogales to reach the U.S. (a road known for daytime car-jackings and shootouts), or one can fly from Hermosillo to Phoenix to San Francisco. Unless one is heading to a major city in Arizona or Texas or Mexico, it will take at least two flights (if not many more) to get to a desired destination. - Aug 2022
Northern California. If you choose to fly you can do so via a 45-minute flight to Phoenix, AZ. We drive to Tucson, AZ from Hermosillo in 4 hours. - Aug 2015
Our home base is New England. We normally fly into Phoenix or Tucson and then drive down to Hermosillo. The drive is about 2.5 hours from the border crossing in Nogales. Flights in and out of Hermosillo are prohibitively expensive, although they have just added a new American flight to Dallas, which may help. - Apr 2013
Washington, DC. Travel by air with 1-2 connections is approximately 6-10 hours, depending on the route. - Dec 2009
