🏢 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
Apatzingán - Pablo L. Sidar Airport (AZG) serves the city of Apatzingán in Michoacán, Mexico. This regional airport primarily supports general aviation, private aircraft, and occasional charter flights, connecting the fertile Tierra Caliente region to larger Mexican cities. It does not host extensive scheduled commercial passenger services; most travelers typically utilize larger airports like Morelia (MLM) or Mexico City (MEX) for their commercial flights. The terminal building is a small, functional structure that provides basic services for passengers and aircraft operations.\n\nSecurity procedures at AZG are in line with Mexican aviation regulations, though they are typically less extensive than at major international airports due to the airport's smaller scale. Passengers can expect visual checks of luggage and personal screening when flights are operating. Check-in processes are generally manual and straightforward. Boarding is usually conducted via a short walk across the tarmac, as the terminal does not feature jet bridges. Flights are often operated by smaller turboprop or regional jet aircraft, adapting to the airport's infrastructure and the region's needs.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are very limited. There is usually a small waiting area with seating and restrooms. Travelers will not find extensive dining options, retail shops, or Wi-Fi services. It is advisable to bring any necessary provisions, such as water and snacks. For ground transportation, taxis are typically available outside the terminal, providing connections to Apatzingán city center and surrounding areas. The airport serves as an efficient local hub for essential air transport, supporting the region's agriculture and commerce.
