Recommendation
For this journey, I recommend taking the bus as it strikes a good balance between cost-effectiveness, travel time, and comfort. ADO buses are well-rated for their quality of service and reliability. If you're looking for the quickest travel experience with no transfers, consider flying, but with added logistics from Villa Milpa Alta to the airport, the bus could be the more straightforward choice.
