Connecting flights

Although Cancún is not typically a transfer airport, the large number of flights means that transfers can take place here, particularly from domestic flights within Mexico to international flights, or vice versa.

Connecting flights in the same terminal

If you do not need to change terminals during your transfer, you must always go through immigration upon arrival on an international flight, collect your luggage, check it in again and go through security back into the departure transit area.

If you are only transferring between domestic flights within Mexico, you do not need to leave the transit area at all and do not need to go through any checks.

Transferring between terminals

When moving between terminals, you must always leave the transit area, as there are no connections between the terminals on the airport tarmac.

However, a free shuttle bus runs through the outdoor public area roughly every 20 minutes, stopping at all terminals.
