Plan for an early pickup
Most flights depart at dawn; expect a pickup from Mexico City before sunrise and allow time for transfers.
Dress in layers
Mornings at altitude are chilly while the sun warms quickly—light insulating layers and a windbreaker are useful.

Bring a fully charged camera or phone and a small power bank—cold drains batteries and the inflation scene is photo-rich.
Watch the weather policy
Flights are canceled in high winds or rain; have flexible plans for a reschedule or refund under the operator policy.
Layered jacket (fleece or windbreaker)
Keeps you warm during pre-dawn lift-off and on landing when temperatures are lowest.

Sturdy closed-toe shoes
