🏢 Terminal Information
Cancún International spreads passengers across four terminals: Terminal 1 for seasonal/charter operations, Terminal 2 with two concourses (H for domestic/regional and M for international), Terminal 3 focused on U.S. and European carriers, and the modern Terminal 4 handling both domestic and long-haul international flights. Each terminal has separate check-in halls and security, and bus gates at Terminal 2 and 3 are common for regional routes. A free inter-terminal shuttle stops outside each arrivals curb every 10–15 minutes; the ride between the most distant terminals takes about 15–20 minutes, so allow extra time when changing buildings.
Within a terminal, walks are manageable: 5–10 minutes from security to most gates in Terminals 2 and 3, while Terminal 4’s A/B concourses can take up to 15 minutes with some stairs or elevators down to bus positions. Landside transfers between terminals are also possible by taxi, but airside transfers are not available—every change of terminal requires exiting and re-screening.
Security checkpoint waits average 10–20 minutes outside of holiday peaks, though midday departures to the U.S. can push queues toward 30–40 minutes; priority and family lanes are signed at each terminal. Non-Mexican travelers typically complete immigration on arrival before baggage claim, and customs still uses the red/green light system for random inspections; agricultural items and large electronics may be pulled for additional screening.
Amenities vary by terminal: duty-free corridors and cafés line the departures levels, with Mera Business Lounges in Terminals 2, 3, and 4 plus a Plaza Premium Lounge and The Lounge by Global Lounge Network in Terminal 4. Terminal 3 and 4 have larger food courts and brand-name shops, while Terminal 2 offers convenience dining and currency exchange near the H gates. Free Wi‑Fi is available in Terminals 3 and 4, with paid options more common in Terminal 2.
All terminals provide ramps, elevators, and wheelchair assistance on request, and the inter-terminal shuttle accommodates passengers with reduced mobility. Baby-care and nursing rooms are signed near several gates in Terminals 3 and 4, and small children’s play areas sit near the B concourse in Terminal 4; family restrooms and changing tables are distributed throughout arrivals and departures areas.

🏢 Terminal Information
Punta Abreojos Airport (AJS) is a coastal airstrip serving the fishing village of Punta Abreojos in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Facilities are basic: a short runway, small apron, and a simple terminal hut/office used on flight days for charter and GA operations. Passengers check in with the operator and board on foot across the apron; arriving baggage is returned by hand.\n\nThe layout is minimal and ground‑level. From the access road to the terminal is under a minute, and from the building to the aircraft is typically a 30–60 second walk. There are no buses or jet bridges; movements are escorted as needed.\n\nThere is no TSA‑style screening and no immigration/customs at AJS. International formalities occur at major Mexican airports on connecting itineraries. Coastal weather (wind, sea fog) can affect schedules—allow buffer time.\n\nAmenities are limited: restrooms when staffed, seating, and sometimes a small kiosk. There are no lounges, ATMs, or full‑service restaurants on site; supplies are in the village. Ground transport is by pre‑arranged local vehicles; fuel availability for GA should be confirmed in advance.\n\nAccessibility is step‑free at the entrance; staff or operators can assist passengers with reduced mobility. Family facilities are minimal—bring water, snacks, and sun protection.
