    Hi

    I'm a teacher so can't leave the country until Weds 20th July at the very earliest but I would like a flight either from Manc or London to Mexico City this summer for 3 weeks/ a month. My quote so far is this:

    Heathrow - Mexico City Thurs 21st July
    Mexico City - Heathrow Weds 17th August

    £759.80 one person return, and it's indirect with Iberia and I found it on Travelsupermarket.

    Thanks in advance,
    D
