I asked a similar question earlier and got a good answer from Gabriela,
which follows...

Now in fact my own flight is now due to land at 22:30 on 11th May, but
Debconf is so much fun I don't want to spend any time waiting in Mexico
City! I want to get to Debconf as soon as possible, so my question was
more of a 'Can I get to Oaxtepec if my flight lands at 22:30' and it
seems probably not for me :-(
Anyway, for now I have booked flights, but not any accommodation for the
night I arrive, in the hope that I won't need it...
Answers to interesting questions like "what would be the likely costs
for (a) average accommodation near Mexico City Airport and (b) a taxi to
Oaxtepec" might tip me one way or the other.
And back to quoting Marcela:

Marcela is right: you should probably have already got your ticket. All
the cheap seats will be gone! I guess that depends where you are coming
from though.
