Via Mexico City (MEX)
Lufthansa, Aeroméxico, Air France, KLM and Iberia fly daily from Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam and Madrid to Mexico City, with short onward hops to Guadalajara (about 1h 20).
Via Madrid
Usually the quickest way from Europe - Aeroméxico and Iberia offer fast one-stop itineraries, and Aeroméxico flies Madrid → Guadalajara direct on several days a week.
Via the US
American, United and Delta connect through Dallas, Houston or Atlanta with many daily flights into Guadalajara. Remember: transiting the US requires an ESTA.
Visas & transit
Most European passports don't need a visa for Mexico - but if you connect through the United States you'll need an ESTA (apply online before flying). Some nationalities do need a visa for Mexico and/or a US transit visa: please check with the authorities in your own country well in advance.
