Flying to-from: Cancun Customs - Tourist Card & Traffic Light

    On your plane you will receive a "Mexican Tourist Card". Fill it in on the plane because they will expect you to have it complete before you get in the passport control line-up. The customs officials send people to the back of the line if it isn't complete. Note that besides the front of the card, there are two places on the back of the card that need to be signed as well.
    Once you get through passport control and pick up your luggage, you'll be expected to push a button on what looks like a traffic light at the customs desk. I've seen some confusion about how people should approach this. You should try to go up to the light as a family or couple (when the agent waves you forward) so you don't have to do it all individually. Basically if you press "Green" they'll let you pass through, if you press "Red", they'll stop you, bring you to the side table, and look through some of your bags (usually not too thoroughly). It's just the luck of the draw.

    Although small, the Cancun airport is an easy way to get in and out of this area. It's an international airport and there are many daily direct fights to and from the US. There are only 2 terminals so it's easy to navigate. If you're flying domestically there won't be long lines in the off season. If you're flying internationally expect to have a bit of a wait. When arriving here pick up your welcome bag filled with maps, guides and coupons. There are numerous information and shuttle kiosks to help travelers. The cheapest way to get into the Hotel Zone is to book a shuttle in the main terminal at one of the green desks.

    Cancun airport is one of the more interesting airports I have flown into and out of. The runway first off is in deperate need of repairs, because as you come down you can feel every bump in the runway on the way down. Next when you get off the flight rather than a terminal to walk through, you get off the plane outside and hop onto a shuttle which takes you to the airport where you then go through customs. The airport on the inside is pretty nice. The airport has a good number of shops, restaurants, and a few lounges to hang out in. I thought the airport was on the same par as maybe Richmond which is slowly going through a remodeling process. Cancun airport needs a good little deal of fixing up, but it gets the job done. Going through customs there is hell though, because they have very little A.C. and cram hundreds of people into a very tiny line that just zipzags everywhich way. Customs is definetly an experience you won't forget, especially if your neighbor has reached the 25th hour of his deodorant. Don't ask, bad memory.

    We would have gone with a brand new plane of Thomas Cook...well that is what the brochure promised us, but we went with an old-made-new plane of Sebena (now Sobelair). Chairs were not wonderful but the staff was okey.

    This was one our way back home. We had to walk a long way on the airport. Some people were checked over and over again, even had to take out their shoes !
    Lighters were not allowed (so ..... hopefully there is somebody with matches when you smoke), parfume should be in your suitecase (what if you just bought it?) and sharp things ( like a nailcutter) were almost a fact to keep you in Mexico !
    So make sure you know what is allowed in your beautycase before you have to leave it all in Mexico.

    Airplane:

    Cancún International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional
    de Cancún) is 5 miles south of the city center,
    two hours by air from Mexico City and just one hour from
    Miami, Flordia. The airport serves a busy traffic load of
    regional and international flights. Many flights to and
    from Cancún also stop at Cozumel. A departure tax of
    US$12 is charged to international travelers departing
    from Mexico by air.

    Cancun:

    There are mini vans and deluxe cars that can take you
    from the airport into Cancún. While you may see taxis
    dropping people off at the airport, they're forbidden
    from picking passengers up. Don't even try to hail one
    down. There are rental car agencies at the airport and
    in town, are dependable for any excursion into the Yucatán.

    Cancún's public bus system is a great way to get between
    Ciudad Cancún and the beaches of Isla Cancún. Playa
    Express runs shuttle buses to destinations within the
    Yucatán, including Chichén Itzá and Tulum.

    Puerto Juárez, the port for passenger ferries to
    Isla Mujeres, is about 2 miles north of Cancún's city
    center. Boats leave every 15 minutes during the day for
    the inexpensive 45-minute journey to Isla Muje

  • Magnicharters is a rather small airline, their flights are limited to the most touristic spots (mainly beach destinations) in Mexico, but although it's a charter airline I found the service to be quite satisfying, the punctuality is fair, the quality of the food on board - and of the planes in general - is very acceptable.

    I got my round ticket from Mexico City to Cancun for less than USD $300 on a long holiday weekend where most people like to travel (so we could call it "high season": Independence day, Sept. 16). However, their prices are rather low season-like: i.e. same as what other local airlines would charge you between September - November and January - May (except for Easter weeks), as these aren't busy times for traveling for domestic (Mexican) tourists; however, since it's winter time in the northern hemisphere there ARE many tourists from colder places coming down to spend a few days on our beaches, so it may be expensive to fly into Cancun directly from abroad.

    Anyhow, you can also find good fares to fly within Mexico with airlines such as Aviacsa (good service and prices) and Volaris (I've heard that the service is fine and prices are quite low; however, these flights take off from the Toluca airport, not Mexico City's). Aeromexico and Mexicana also have several flights to Cancun (both non-stop and with a stop over), but they're the most expensive.

    To get to Cancun & the Mayan Riviera you have to fly in through the Cancun Airport. Get yourself ready to wait in very long line ups to fly in & out. The airport is to small & understaffed for the amount of tourists come in & going out every day in the peak season.
    Once you are in Cancun or Playa del Carmen you can either get around by taxi (which can be fairly expensive) or you can take the local buses which are clean & very dependible.

  • I arrived to Cancun with an airplane from Mexico City and then continued by bus to Merida.
    Cancun can be done walking, but if you have to go from the beach end, where all the mayor hotels, shoppingmalls and nightclubs are, to the old downtown, it may be worth going by one of the local busses which anyway are increadible cheap.
    I hired a bike which was a lot of fun too:), and know there's a great possibility to hire almost every thing with wheels on!

    We flew in directly from Madrid, coming from Portugal. We flew with AirPlus and everything was really nice. Very good service and comfortable plane. No problems at checkin/arrival.
    Once you're in the Tulum/Cancun area and if you don't want to rent a car, there are some very comfortable 'buses' which pass in the 'highway' that connects Tulum to Cancun (nş 307 for what I recall).
    They stop right in front of our hotel (Bahia Principe Tulum) so we used them quite often to get to Playa Del Carmen, mostly.
    I was quite surprised to see that these 'buses' (more like taxis) were some very comfortable and modern vans with A/C and automatic gears :)
    They are used a lot by local workers also. The price was quite cheap (like 15 or 20 pesos...just under 2 dollars)
    Make sure you ask the price before you enter the van, because there are some ripoff attempts ;) If it's way over the price I mentioned, then bargain (!!!) with them ;o)
