Which airline should I choose for the best service and reliability?
Aeromexico is the highest-rated option with a 3-Star Skytrax rating, offering reliable service, quality meals, and good punctuality. Volaris is a budget-friendly alternative with a 3-Star rating, though it has stricter baggage policies and occasional delays. VivaAerobus is the most economical but has the poorest customer reviews and frequent service issues, so it's best avoided if other options are available.

Always check with your airline about specific requirements, as some carriers may have additional documentation policies.
Spring (especially April) and autumn (October) offer the most pleasant weather with temperatures around 26-27°C (79-81°F) and minimal rainfall. Avoid summer months (June-August) when temperatures soar to 35-37°C (95-99°F) with humidity and thunderstorms, and winter (December-February) when nights can drop below freezing. Ciudad Juárez's desert climate can be extreme, so planning travel during shoulder seasons ensures comfort.
