If though, someone is visiting Mexico and either staying in Mexico City or transferring to another flight out of Juarez airport to some other destination then I would suggest using the members of this forum in order to get advice. That would be great for all of us who travel to Mexico and stay there. Your suggestion to use Panama or El Salvador is great if a person is transiting to another country and not staying in Mexico. Those airports are small, does not require you to go thru Immigration or pickup your bags.Ī connection thru Mexico City airpot could take you, easily 2 and half hours!Īs mentioned many airports round the world operate the same way as Mexico City.

If you want to make a connection to another city in Latin America use other airport such as the Tocument Airport in Panama or at El Salvador.

I just spent 45 minutes in the lane even though I was in transit. Also you will need to wait for your luggage and it pickup to drop it in another band, which it does not make sense.Īnother problem is the terminals does not have enough Immigration agents to review your passport. If you are in a connection, at this airport you will need to go to immigration and customs unlike of other airports in Central America. If you have a short connecting time to another flight you likely will jeopardize your connection. If you are coming form a long flight you will find this situation painful. The Benito Juarez airport is over saturated and the service that provides is well below the standards of any airport in Latin America.įirst of all, the airport does not have enough gates to receive planes, so many of the planes are received in remote positions, it means the control tower parks the plane far from the terminal and move the passengers from the plane to the terminal in buses. More than a question this is a warning for all the travellers regarding the Mexico City Airport.
