So, picture this: you’ve just had a fantastic time in Cancun, but now it’s time to head back home. Like any seasoned traveler, we want to make your journey as smooth as possible. That’s why we’re sharing our recent experience flying in and out of Cancun International Airport, where we’ll take you through the process in a relaxed, casual tone.
Getting to the Airport
Cancun International Airport is conveniently located, just a 25 to 30-minute drive from the hotel zone, where most tourists stay. When it was time for us to head back, we arranged a cab through our hotel, which cost us roughly 50 American dollars.
Check-In and Security
As we arrived at the airport, our first stop was the check-in counters. We were flying with United Airlines and were pleasantly surprised to find self-service kiosks, which made the check-in process a breeze. And you know what? The airport was surprisingly quiet. After dropping off our bags, we made our way to security, which wasn’t too far away.
Duty-Free Delights
Once through security (and the usual bag screening), we found ourselves in the duty-free area. This place was a shopper’s paradise. From well-known brands to Mexican souvenirs, you’ll be spoilt for choice. If you forgot to pick up a gift for someone, here’s your chance. Treat yourself to some last-minute goodies too!
Grabbing a Bite
By this time, it was 6:00 AM, and we were feeling quite hungry. We headed straight for the food court, but first, we checked to make sure our flight was still on time. There were plenty of food options, although due to the early hour, some stores were still closed. But fear not, we managed to find a spot for some eggs, bagels, toast, and a much-needed large coffee.
Airport Amenities
Cancun International Airport offers plenty of seating, so finding a comfortable place to relax before your flight is a breeze. Just be aware that some chairs have armrests, so lying down may not be the most convenient option. If you need to grab a snack, there are convenience stores scattered throughout the airport, along with charging stations. Plus, there’s free Wi-Fi to keep you connected.
Boarding Time
Before we knew it, it was time to head to our gate and prepare for boarding. The airport was a pleasant surprise – bright, clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable pre-flight experience. Whether you’re early or facing a delay, Cancun International Airport has you covered.
In Conclusion
We really enjoyed our time at Cancun Airport. It left us with a positive impression, thanks to its bright, clean atmosphere and all the amenities you’d need before a flight. So, if you ever find yourself there, early or not, there’s plenty to keep you occupied.
