Know which routes into MEX are true lie-flat — and which are recliners in disguise.
International business class flights to Mexico City use Benito Juárez International (MEX), the Aeroméxico and SkyTeam hub close to Polanco and Reforma; the newer Felipe Ángeles airport (NLU) handles mostly domestic traffic. On U.S. routes of 2–5 hours, most “business class” is a domestic-style recliner on a narrowbody, not a flat bed.
The lie-flat exceptions are worth seeking out. Aeroméxico rotates its 787 Dreamliners — with fully flat Clase Premier seats — onto select U.S. flights such as New York JFK, and every European nonstop (Iberia, Air France, KLM, British Airways, Lufthansa) is a widebody with a proper long-haul business cabin.

Mexico City is a year-round business market with two big spikes — Christmas–New Year and Easter’s Semana Santa — and Día de Muertos in late October has joined them recently. Book 4–6 weeks out for ordinary dates and 2–3 months for the peaks; European lie-flat nonstops are priciest in summer.
