🏢 Terminal Information
Benito Juárez International Airport operates through two distinct terminals separated by over 3 kilometers, requiring dedicated transportation systems for connections. Terminal 1, the larger and older facility, handles diverse domestic and international airlines with extensive shopping and dining options, though its size and age can create navigational challenges during peak periods. Terminal 2, opened in 2007, serves as the modern hub for Aeroméxico and SkyTeam partners, offering compact, efficient layouts that facilitate easier navigation despite concentrating primarily alliance operations. Inter-terminal transfers utilize the Aerotrén light rail system (5-minute journey, boarding pass required) or free shuttle buses departing from Puerta 6 (T1) and Puerta 4 (T2), with walking within terminals requiring 10-20 minutes depending on pace and baggage.
Both terminals feature comprehensive security checkpoints with fast-track lanes available, while immigration and security processing benefits from 3-hour international and 2-hour domestic arrival recommendations, often extended by 30-60 minutes during ongoing 2025 renovation works involving USD 128 million infrastructure improvements. Premium facilities include 11 lounges in Terminal 1 and 8 in Terminal 2, highlighted by the American Express Centurion Lounge in T2 featuring full bar service and hot food options. Dining spans extensive food courts in Terminal 1, sit-down restaurants, and corporate fast-food options throughout both terminals, complemented by duty-free shopping, medical clinics, and prayer rooms. Family amenities encompass baby-changing stations, family restrooms with touchless fixtures, while accessibility features include comprehensive services for passengers with reduced mobility. Essential connectivity includes free Wi-Fi throughout terminals, food courts, and lounges, plus SIM card providers, VIP services, car rental agencies, and luggage services, though 2025 renovation works may cause temporary noise, dust, blocked corridors, and extended walking times requiring enhanced patience and following marked alternative routes during Mexico's busiest aviation hub's modernization process.
🔄 Connection Tips
MEX is Aeroméxico's main hub. Terminal transfers require re-security screening. Allow extra time for immigration.

🏢 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.
