What to do if we are arriving at different terminals at the Cancun Airport?

Post by Travel Experts at Happy Shuttle Cancun Jan 03, 2024.

When traveling together to Cancun, sometimes the adventure takes an interesting turn – arriving at different terminals in the Cancun Airport. It's like a mini-adventure within the larger one.

Imagine this: two groups of friends, each on a different flight, landing in Cancun. One bunch gets off at Terminal 2, which is mostly domestic flights but welcomes some international airlines.

Now, the other group's plane touches down at Terminal 3. The process is smooth – immigration, customs, all that jazz – and then they're out into the sunny Cancun air.

So, these two groups of friends are arriving in Cancun at different terminals. While it might seem like a hiccup, it's actually a cool plot twist in their travel story. They're texting each other, sharing their travel day tales and laughing about their mini solo adventures.

More information

There are free shuttles that run between terminals, running just about every 20 minutes. Have a meet-up plan and a back-up meet up plan if you are going to unite your group at one terminal. The Cancun Airport terminals are too far apart for walking, it is not recommended to try to hoof it in the heat with all your luggage in hand.

Sooo, the story doesn't end there. They both hop on the Cancun airport shuttle, arranged in advance with the best advice from locals on the ground, and finally, they meet up. There's this mix of excitement and relief – like, "Hey, we made it!" They're sharing stories about what they saw in the terminals, the interesting people they met on the plane and in the airport, and all the fun they're about to have.

It's like a microcosm of their journey – different paths converging in a single place. And you know what's the best part? The adventure's just starting. With the sun shining, the beaches calling, and the promise of Cancun in the air, the real escapade is about to unfold, together.

Cancun Airport Transportation to Cancun Hotel Zone
Our plane arrived at 1:55pm, we were outside for our shuttle at 3:16pm, they did not have a shuttle ready for us until 3:51pm. We were initially told our wait would be 15-20 min, when we got to the platform we were told it would be 30 minutes. The people staffing the airport were not friendly or helpful. The driver, Jorge, was fantastic! We ordered a Coke and two beers online and were given a water and two beers.

Cancun Airport Transportation to Playa del Carmen
Very pleased with Happy Shuttle. Solo ride with a friendly and experienced driver with a perfect temperature in the van. The couple of frosty beers I pre-ordered made for a great trip from the Cancun airport to Playa del Carmen. I will use this service again when I return to Mexico.
