How to get to Mexico City Airport by Metro
If you are travelling light, the best (and cheapest) way to get to Terminal 1 at the Mexico City Airport is to take the Metro for just 5 Pesos to Mexico City Airport metro station "Terminal Aérea", from where it's a short walk to the terminal.
How to get to Mexico City Airport - Terminal 2
Unfortunately the metro does not serve Terminal 2. The best way to get to Terminal 2 is to take MetroBus #4 from San Lazaro Metro, next to Tapo bus station, which runs to both terminals 1 and 2.
A ride on the CDMX MetroBús to Terminals 1 and 2 from San Lazaro costs 30 Pesos.
You swipe your MetroCard at the turnstile like normal, 6 Pesos and swipe your card again when entering the bus for the extra 24 Pesos. The journey time is 30 minutes.

Riding the Metro to Pantitlan, and then walking to Terminal 2 is not recommended.
If you need to transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 at Mexico City Airport, you can take the AeroTrén if you are airside, or the TETSA Bus if you are landside.
Riding the Metro in Mexico City with lots of luggage is not recommended at any time. And in general, try to avoid the rush hour.If you have lots of luggage, best use an UBER or a pre-paid taxi but they are not cheap but I guess you have taken a flight for 500+ USD, another 20 won't hurt and if you travel with lots of luggage, chances are, you're not a penny pinching backpacker.
Do not use the pink and white taxis.
