Flying in and out, Cabo San Lucas

The airport is located some distance from town. I booked transportation online to and from the airport with Transcabo. It cost approximately $45 per person roundtrip and they dropped us off right at our hotel. The vans were clean and the drivers were very friendly and prompt. We did have to stop at a few other hotels to drop off other passengers but since it was our first time to Cabo San Lucas, it was nice to see some of the surrounding area. I would definately book transportation with transcabo again. One warning, make sure you exit the airport to the transcabo representative and don't take a ride from the timeshare hawkers inside the airport.

If you're looking to save some money and have extra time to spare, you can walk to the bus stop about 3/4 mile from the airport and take the local bus into San Jose or Cabo San Lucas. Go right out of the airport and cross the road (small cantina, stop for liquid refreshment), then down the hwy on the left side of the bridge you will see the covered bus stop. It was 10 pesos to San Jose a little more than that to Cabo. We were heading to Todos Santos so we took the Aquila bus from San Jose (see Todos Santo page).

Generally speaking Alaska Airlines is the cheapest way to get down to Los Cabos Airport.
Especially if you live in the North West US.
Cheapest way to get into town is the shuttle bus. It runs $13 US per person, the ride takes 45 minutes but you will often have to wait at the airport for up to 30 minutes for the bus to actually leave. If you have 4 or more people it may be about the same price to take a taxi van into town and will be considerably quicker.
The terminal at the airport is small so finding the taxis or shuttles is easy...
NOTE: There is only 1 place to take a return shuttle bus from in Cabo San Lucas to the Airport.
Unfortunatly I cannot remember the name of the hotel, but it is located along the marina toward the south end. It has a deccent size parking lot in front with a guard shack with a manual gate arm to make people stop and pay for parking before entering. It is hard to miss. Go inside the front doors and there will be a someone just inside on the left that can sell you the passes. Most of the people at the tourist info booths will know where it is if you can't find it.
It costs $14 and usually runs 3-4 times a day anywhere from noon to 6pm.

It is very easy to fly in Cabo via Cabo San Lucas International Airport. Countries like: Mexico, USA and Canada having lots of straight flights to here.
We where flying with Aero Mexico from Guadalajara to Cabo. We had to drive from San Luis Potosi to here, because there were almost no flight, and if there were, it was too expensive...

Several airlines travel to Cabo now; I've taken Mexicana and Aeromexico - good as any. It is possible to drive from the US to Cabo, however, it's a long 1,000 mile and a long way between gas stations.

The airport is about 15 miles north of San Jose del Cabo and can be reached by toll road if you're in a hurry.

Flights are easy to get from the Southwest US (Phoenix, LA, Dallas). Alaska, America West and American seem to be the major carriers. You can also get a direct early-morning flight from Chicago from November to (I think) April. You will most likely have to take a connecting flight from most cities.

Many airlines serve the Los Cabos International Airport from locations in Mexico, Canada and the United States. Airport to town: You can rent a car, take a cab, or hop in a van. The van ticket booth is located just as you leave the airport. For the van, they charge you about $11 US dollars (approximately $80 pesos) each and take you right to your hotel. You can ask the van driver to stop at a liquor store for drinks because it is a long dusty ride into town (45 minutes with no stops and no traffic). It makes the ride more fun for everyone. Taxis have jumped to $60.00 into Cabo San Lucas.

Alaska Airlines has the best deals. Some folks arrive by boat (Love Boat), and then you could always drive...
Community transit busses are common, but their fares change with each ride. Renting a car worked well. Make sure you have some kind of arrangements for transportation to/from the airport, or you're gonna get hounded for timeshare tours, right there in the terminal.
