Its been a great trip but its time to get home! Head to the Madrid airport and arrive at least 2.5 hours early. To make things easy, schedule an uber. Its a little over 20 minutes to drive there. Public transportation is option but takes twice as long. Board your flight to CDMX. Be sure to check to reservation since the flights have most likely changed.
