Arrivals and departures at Tulum Airport

Tulum Airport Terminal TQO

Are you looking for real-time arrivals or departures to/from Tulum Airport online to check fordelays orboarding times? Visit the airport’s official website.

Tulum Airport is relatively small and very easy to find your way around.

All flights are handled by a single terminal, so there’s no need to transfer between different buildings.

How long before departure should you arrive at the airport?

Unlike the major airports in Cancún or Mexico City, check-in at Tulum is usually quick.

I would recommend arriving:

  • 90 to 105 minutes before an international flight
  • 75 to 90 minutes before a domestic flight

Most passengers get through check-in and security within a few minutes, but queues may be longer during the peak tourist season.

How long does it take to leave the airport after arrival?

Upon arrival on an international flight, the following procedures take place:

  1. passport control
  2. baggage reclaim
  3. customs

As the airport handles only a limited number of flights a day, the whole process is usually fairly quick.

In most cases, you can expect it to take between 30 and 45 minutes from landing until you leave the terminal.

Where to stay overnight if you have an early flight?

The terminal isn’t really suitable for spending the night. If you have an early morning flight, a hotel right next to the airport is usually a more comfortable option.

Bear in mind that the journey between the airport and the centre of Tulum takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

However, right opposite the terminal is the highly rated Hotel Mundo Maya Tulum Aeropuerto ***.

How do I get from the airport to the town?

On arrival, you can take a taxi or a pre-booked transfer. Public transport between the airport and the town centre is limited.
