About the Mexico City (MEX) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) shipping route by air

The air shipping route from Mexico City Benito Juárez International Airport to Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 16,408 km (8,860 nautical miles) along the flight path. The great circle distance between the airports is 15,627 km; airways, departure and arrival procedures add around 5%.

Flight time is about 21 h 18 min at 800 km/h block speed. On a route this long many freighters make a technical stop for fuel, so the shipment may land somewhere in between. Door to door air freight transit time is usually 1 to 3 days longer than the flight because of acceptance, security screening, customs and handling at both airports.

We have no direct flight data for MEX to SGN this week. Cargo on such pairs usually connects through a hub, which adds a day or more to the transit time.

Air freight rates are charged per kilogram of chargeable weight: the higher of the actual weight and the volume weight (length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000). Light, bulky cargo pays for space, so compact packing on Mexico City to Ho Chi Minh City saves money. The shipment crosses from Mexico into Vietnam, so export and import customs clearance are part of the lead time.
