How to get to Terminal 1 at the Mexico City International Airport
The best way and the cheapest way to get to Terminal 1 at the Mexico City International Airport is to ride the Metro (5 Pesos) to Terminal Aérea, from where it's a short walk to the terminal.
How to get to Terminal 2 at the Mexico City International Airport
One of the best ways to Terminal 2 at the Mexico City International Airport that I have used, is to take MetroBus #4 from San Lazaro Metro, next to Tapo bus station, which runs to both terminals 1 and 2.
Another option is to Google Maps the bus stops around terminal 2 on the main road that passes the airport. But I can't say if this is a good option or not.
A ride on the MetroBus 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.
Guards ride the MetroBus for your safety.
It makes a loop. San Lazaro to Terminal 1/Terminal 2 then back to San Lazaro. No intermediate stops.
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.
The T1-T2 Tren which links the 2 terminals is only for passengers. You must pass through the control and security to get to the T1-T2 Tren Terminal. I have not used this option as Miss CDMX always comes to see me off.

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.
