Open the full route plannerThe US and Mexico are linked by busy land crossings and by short flights to Cancún, Los Cabos and Mexico City. Mexico is the country most often left out of plans labelled North America, so check for it by name. Mexico also changed its line registration rules in 2026; the Mexico page has the details and sources. Border cities sit close enough for phones to pick up either country's network.
