The single most important fact you must understand about
connecting flights is that THE AIRPORT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
for the connecting of your flights. The airline and/or airlines
that you are flying with are responsible for getting you
to Cancun on time to make your connecting flight. There
is absolutely nothing that the airport can do to assist
you with your connecting flights other than giving you the
following recommendations:
|
|
|
Make sure that you book your flights
with enough time to connect. |
|
|
|
Remember that if you are flying to
Cancun, then you most likely are coming on an international
flight and MUST go through immigration and customs. |
|
|
|
If you are connecting flights then
you most likely getting on a DOMESTIC flight and must
go to the domestic flights terminal. |
|
|
|
There is a shuttle between terminals
but it is not a scheduled shuttle. It goes back and
forth as needed. |
|
|
|
If you are flying in different airlines,
then you must claim your luggage from your first flight
and check them in on your connecting flight. |
|
|
|
Immigration and customs DO NOT care
if you have to connect flights you MUST go through the
procedures as any other person. |
|
|
|
Airline personnel may be able to assist
you under special circumstances, please check with your
airline if you think you will need their assistance.
Please plan accordingly. |
|
|
Weekends are very busy at the airport, thus give yourself
enough time between flights. Weekdays are not as bad but
if you are flying in during peak hours (10:00AM to 4:00PM)
then you may run into some long lines at the immigration
and customs booths.
