Cancun International Airport has four terminal buildings and an FBO for private aviation. Today all scheduled passenger flights use Terminals 2, 3 and 4. Knowing your terminal matters: they are spread out, and your transfer driver will wait at the terminal where your flight lands.

Getting between terminals
A free shuttle bus links Terminals 2, 3 and 4 roughly every 10–15 minutes from marked stops outside each terminal. Never pay anyone for the transfer between terminals. If you are connecting between terminals, allow plenty of time — you will usually need to collect bags, clear customs and check in again.
