Cancun Airport

Traveller Comments....

"There is no drinkable water accessible....we made friends with the people from the security who filled up our bottles, so we did not die of thirst" - Florence

"Cancun Airport is a sort of hell designed for tourists or the irredeemably evil.  Even on a slow day it resembles a riot. " (Dave Herman)

"Please be careful, I have an iron stomach but after eating something at the airport my husband and I both got violently ill" (?)

"I also was kicked in the head a a couple of times from some kids " (Bill R.)

"To an extent, Cancun airport is a microcosm of Cancun itself - a tourist trip from start to finish where porters expect $20 dollar tips " (Shan)

Recent Review

by JustOneCarryOn
"Since it's served by dodgy, unaccountable airlines like Sunwing, there is a large number of dissatisfied and/or obnoxious travelers waiting for long hours here. Avoiding them is key to peace and quiet, as is finding the few seats with missing armrests. Gate A9 has two such spots, and these are conveniently facing each other.
The store in the center of the terminal and the take-out food stand both stayed open well after midnight, providing sustenance and entertainment without extra noise. Lights are glaring everywhere.
If you manage to arrive before the two pharmacies close (around 10pm), you're in luck. These supply drugs like Valium for bargain-basement prices without any need for a prescription. That'll help even the most agitated tourist get some much-needed slumber!"
