What each code is for. The IATA code (QRO) is what the bag tag and the ticket use; the ICAO code (MMQT) is what flight plans, NOTAMs and flight trackers use. To follow the inbound aircraft that will become your flight, ICAO is the one that returns reliable results. And if QRO is not printed on your bag tag, the bag was not checked through to here — worth catching at the counter.

Coordinates, and why we publish them. 20.6173, -100.186 is the position from which every great-circle distance on this site is computed, including the ones that set the EU261 compensation band. It is not the distance the aircraft flies — that follows airways and diversions — but the geodesic measure the regulations use. Publishing it lets anyone recompute the figures on these pages.

What does apply on departure from Mexico. Mexico’s Ley de Aviación Civil (Art. 47 Bis), enforced by AFAC and PROFECO, covers flights taking off from Mexican territory from QRO regardless of the airline’s nationality: a delay over 4 hours attributable to the carrier entitles you to at least 25% of the ticket price, and from the first hour the airline owes assistance that escalates with duration. Keep the boarding pass and the purchase receipt — a claim stands on those two documents.

How this list is built. These are the airlines appearing in catalogued routes that touch QRO, not the airport’s full directory: a carrier that flies here but not on a pair we cover does not appear. The type — full-service or low-cost — and the allowance come from our own record for each carrier, and where the datum does not exist we say so rather than filling it with a plausible number.

Routes from Querétaro (QRO)

The busiest is QRO-IAH at ~3 flights a week; 1 of them carry a cached fare, spread across 1 audience profiles. Every row in this section comes from that same corridor catalogue, not from a live search.

What traffic QRO moves. By audience profile, the routes catalogued here split as: Mexico-US paisano corridor (2). That mix explains the airport’s seasonality: family corridors spike in December and Holy Week, leisure ones follow the holiday calendar, and regional ones stay flatter across the year.

Not all of these routes fly daily. The thinnest on the list is QRO-DFW at ~2 weekly departures — under one a day. On a pair like that a cancellation is not resolved in hours: the next seat may be two or three days out, which is why it is worth avoiding the last flight before a fixed commitment.

Connection tips

QRO concentrates 5 catalogued weekly departures across 2 airlines, in the America/Mexico_City zone. That density is what decides how much slack to leave on a connection: the more of its own services the airline runs here, the more same-day rebooking options exist.

Aeropuerto Internacional de Querétaro runs on the America/Mexico_City time zone; factor the offset from your origin city when planning connections and transfers. The busiest route at QRO is QRO-IAH (~3 flights a week). The lowest fare detected at this airport is $2,418 MXN on the QRO-DFW route. Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the busiest routes to/from Querétaro; fares climb in December, Holy Week and summer. Each route guide above shows month-by-month seasonality and the lowest peso fare. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.

The cheap connection that loses the checked bag. Two separate tickets are not one itinerary: there is no interline agreement, the bag is not checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight lands late the second airline owes you nothing — it sold a different flight. The apparent saving evaporates the moment you buy a same-day replacement. On a single ticket, rebooking and the bag transfer are the carrier’s problem, not yours.

Great-circle distance is not the transfer. The figures in the table are geodesic, computed from each airport’s coordinates; the real journey depends on whether road, rail or a domestic flight exists, and on what they cost. An airport 300 km away can be more accessible than one at 120 km if the first has a direct motorway and the second does not. Use them to rule out, not to plan.
