Cancun CUN
Cancun airport (CUN) is the only airport serving Cancun, Mexico, so every flight into the city lands here. It carries a heavy share of holiday traffic alongside long-haul scheduled routes, with Madrid, Warsaw, Paris, Frankfurt, Chisinau, Rome, London and Dublin among the destinations served. Because this is the city's single gateway, arrival and departure days get busy — if your dates fall in high season, lock in your seats early, and check which carrier operates your route before you commit.

Getting to the city
Getting from the airport into Cancun is simple enough: licensed taxis, pre-booked private transfers, shared shuttles and rental cars all work from the arrivals area, and plenty of hotels arrange a pickup for guests. Sort your transfer before you fly if you land at night, and agree the meeting point with your driver in advance. Walk past anyone in arrivals offering a ride you did not book, and leave extra time for the return leg, since traffic can stretch the trip well beyond what you expect.
