Facilities for the Disabled in Mexico City International Airport:
Elevators for the disabled are placed throughout the national area of the ground floor in SALAS 'A,' 'B,' 'C' and 'D,' along the exterior wall of the instalations.
On the first-floor these elevators are found in the fast-food area opposite Gate 10, Gates 12 and 13, and by and the VIP lounge at Gate 17; for those planning to visit this lounge the best ground-floor option is by Gate 6.
In general, if visiting the first floor, I'd say the best option for special-abiltiy visitors is to take the elevator option closest to your first-floor destination as transit is usually easier on the ground floor.
That said, the upper floor is also well organised but tends to get a little more crowded than the ground floor, packs of hungry transients fill the passages on their way to relish their final pre-flight opportunity for fast-food alternatives, or, of course those just killing time whilst awaiting visitors.
A further VIP lounge is by Gate 21, again there is an elevator close at hand. Located by the waiting-rooms area for Gates 25, 26, 27 is another option and, last but not least, the exterior wall opposite Gate 23 is home to another of these elevators for the installations' special-ability visitors.
Regarding the 'Terminal Terrestre,' the elevator at the entrance/exit passage communicating the fast-food area with the ticket counters for the direct-service coach options is the best-placed option for visitors to this area of the terminal.
The vast majority of the public conveniences are equipped with special-ability options for disabled visitors and are found almost everywhere; finally, for ease-of-access, ramps have been incorporated throughout the whole of the terminal, so if you happen to be a member of this group of the species, you should have no complaints with these installations.
