Aeropuerto International de Los Cabos

Who cares about the food! I come for the guys! Never seen so many smokin guys all in one place. I died and went to hottie heaven

Nice comfortable modern airport!
Customs took a while to get through when we landed but that is pretty typical.
When we left, security was super fast and easy, even faster than TSA pre!
They have a couple of restauarnts and free wifi!
If you are a Priority Pass member they have a lounge here, but it isn’t really needed as the airport itself is great!

It’s small, but When you arrive there is a bar right outside. The staff working here from TSA to gate are really sweet. If you have friends you are waiting for grab a seat at the bar and relax

I hate to say this but the airport is 100% better now than what it was before the hurricane last year. Much nicer and cooler. Free wifi which is awesome. If you buy something from Starbucks you get a wifi code for their connection

Nice easy airport to maneuver in. They seemed very helpful to a handicapped man that was there and stuck with him until he told them he was good. They flagged our bag and 4 other couples bags and when they do that they just leave them sitting in a corner haha but it’s all good. People seemed very honest and friendly our 5 days we spent there. I read this was the best place to get Pecos and I fully agree 100%. Use the atms there because it seemed like the best rate to me but make sure you get enough out. We didn’t. And while we were there in November the rate was $ 15 Pecos to each american $ 1. Good luck

Breezed in and right back out … my only complaint here was that we had to walk onto the tarmac and take a bus to board our plane. The terminal seems newer and is clean. It also has restaurants and stores so you can kill time.

This is a nice airport. Our passage through customs was quick and efficient. The airline had us complete forms while on the plane. We were in and out in no time. The only annoying thing about this airport is walking through the room full of timeshare salesmen. OMG it is so crazy! My boss had warned me that the last room that you walk through before exiting the airport is a den full of timeshare guys lying and saying whatever they can to get you to stop. As soon as you walk in, they call out to you, claiming it’s a visitors center, asking which hotel you are staying at, etc. We almost fell for it, even though I had been forewarned. Your best bet is to keep walking, ignore them and book it out of there. It seems like a rude thing to do, but trust me, you will save yourself from the timeshare crap. As soon as you walk outside, all of the taxis, rental car shuttles, buses, etc. are waiting. All of the different companies are holding up signs for the arriving tourists.

Nice, clear and pretty user friendly. But please note when traveling, it’s not that you can’t have more than 3oz of liquid in a carry on, the CONTAINER is what’s limited to 3oz.

Just chillin at the airport, ready to go hm. It’s been real! We have a 2hr wait witch means I’m probably going to spend more $ here at this expensive ass airport. Oh well, gotta pay to play.

The worst part about this airport is that they don’t have free Wi-​Fi available. Since the majority of people landing or flying out from this airport is NOT a local, and people rarely purchase data plans for their phones, wi-​fi access is something that would be a huge plus. I hope they upgrade and add this soon. There is also no AC (or maybe it wasn’t quite hot enough to turn it on the day we were there), but they had the giant fans on which didn’t do much to lower the temperature.
When you land, you go to Customs and have to push a button. Green means you get to keep going but Red means you have to get your luggage searched. There’s no real pattern to it, so cross your fingers that you’re not the one that has alcohol in your bag! If you get red, like my friend and I did, they put your luggage on a table and peruse through it quickly while asking you some quick questions. After that, you finish the Customs process, you have to run the gauntlet of people trying to hawk time share presentations, etc. so try to get the heck out of the airport as quickly as you can. All of the time share people wear suits and look official, but just keep walking past them and don’t let them steer you into the other room– make it to daylight and you’ll be fine.
They have cabs available, but I was spoiled by my friend Kellie C. who pre-​booked a taxi for us, and they met us outside and took us directly to our hotel (I think the trip took about 30 minutes to get to Downtown Cabo).
For the return flight, you get to go into a different section with different shops to purchase food, snacks, and last minute souvenirs. A lot of them are duty free, which is great if you want to purchase alcohol or cigars to bring home. Still no wi-​fi though. And be prepared to walk out on the tarmac to board your flight!

This was my first time at this airport flying in from AZ and flying out from Cabo back to AZ. Overall a really nice airport and very modern. Everything is nicely laid out and there are English and Spanish interpretations of everything. When arriving here for the first time, everything was quite simple and as fast as it could be with security and all. Past the clear doors is where all the time share people who offer you discounts on taxi fares, activities and other information. Some will take the info and some won’t. We did and we got discounts on our activities and free taxi to the hotel and back to the airport back to the U.S. Overall not a bad airport, very busy, very clean but straight forward and to the point. There are a decent amount of stores to shop at here but mostly there are food spots and a random sports bar. Good experience none the less and for my first time there.

There are two rooms right after you arrive that are white with sliding glass doors. These are filled with timeshare salesmen who pose as the people you’re supposed to meet.
For example, we had a Costco travel plan which included transportation from the airport. The people in this round white room asked me what I was looking for and then the impersonated the Costco travel person. They then proceeded to sell us plans for excursions and timeshares while telling us that our transportation guy was running late when he was actually outside the whole time.
It’s hard to believe that the airport officials allow this ridiculous room to exist.

This is such a nice, international airport, and oh so clean. But CABO, why you no have free wifi??? Pro tip: purchase a drink at Starbucks for wifi code and password on your receipt.
I personally enjoyed perusing through the handful of souvenir shops, through I fully acknowledge they are nothing but tourist traps. My fav was the shop where they sold local, hand woven items such as colorful, exotic stuffed animals.
Also, I quite enjoyed that it was nicely air conditioned.

NO air conditionin the airport and after 4 days of boozing kind of sucks, like A LOT. There are fans through out the airport moving the humid and warm air around so that helps…
When we landed here was super easy (line moves pretty fast at 930 at night) going through customs. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FILL OUT YOUR PAPERWORK ON THE PLANE SO YOU ARE NOT HOLDING UP THE LONG LINE. OK anyways, there are plenty of variety of places to eat here if you are waiting for your plane. Lots of shops to shop from however the prices are WAY HIGH. You can totally get the same stuff in town for like nothing, but if you forget to grab a gift for someone I hope they are worth spending 3x the money lol. I ate and had a beer (s) at the Corona Bar was better food than the Resort I stayed at.
Just came back yesterday!
T~

Run… run…run…past all the timeshare people. Pretend they aren’t their and that they are fans of yours just waving at you because you’re a celeberty.
This airport has been remodeled. But some areas still need a major facelift.
Book your transportation online. They will be waiting with their names on a placard or sometimes your name on a placard. But you have to travel through a maze of people wanting to sell you timeshares or pretending they can get you a taxi. Our transportation service was paid in advance. You don’t have to call the transportation guy back. The transportation guy will try to sell you timeshares as well. So a couple days before you leave just call your hotel desk to make arrangements, Most hotels can do that for you
The airport is kind of hectic for arriving and getting through customs. While most of the agents are pretty cool, the place is a zoo. But we did manage to get through fast because my friend has been here before. And with all their upgrades, most people don’t walk on the tarmac anymore. Also be careful when you get to the baggage area and make sure your at the right baggage area. But, we saw some luggage fall off the belt and fall inside and no one cared. I feel sorry for the passengers waiting for that luggage.
Coming back to LAX we actually breezed through customs. People were friendlier. Upstairs while waiting, I think these use swamp coolers instead of A.C. Also there is not enough seating for both eating and waiting and they do have ample space to accomondate more seats.
Some of the food places to watch for is the Yogurt place next to the Subway. For a small scoop of yogurt in a small bowl with a few strawberries… expect to spend almost $ 10. And after you get your yogurt, they will only give change in pesos stating it’s a federal lie. Not true because Subway gave change in U.S. dollars The Subway will try to upsale you on the meats and cheese. But it was $ 6.50 for half a skimpy sub.
And looking out the window at our Area 7 for takeoff. Well the jets are back to back and what’s funny is that the girl at the same gate took off her Southwest vest and put on her Alaska Airlines vest to greet us. Hilarious! Hey… you’re still the same girl.

Just flew in and out of this airport last week, and I was pleased to see everything is up and running like normal 6 months after a bad hurricane.
I was a little shocked at how quiet and empty terminal 1 was when we arrived… especially for it being an international airport. Our group was the only people that were inside at baggage claim.
After baggage claim, there’s plenty of rental companies you can choose from or a shuttle that’s about $ 15 a person. Thankfully, we walked outside and found the purple «Ruta Del Desierto/​The Desert Route» bus that instead charged us 70 pesos/​~$ 6 a person and will take you all the way to Cabo. Definitely helped save us money!
Terminal 2 was definitely busier and had a lot more to do… we arrived early and walked around the numerous souvenir shops. Starbucks, Subway, Carl’s JR and the Corona restaurant will be your main choices to get food.
Overall, this airport was okay and had no issues getting in and out of it :)

This may not be a fair review because the airport was damaged pretty severely in the hurricane back in Sept. Terminal 1 area is still shut down, only Terminal 2 is open.
ARRIVING: There was no jet bridge so be prepared to walk down steep stairs off the plane and outside in the mexico sun until you reach a door that you can get inside the airport through. Clearing immigration took about 2 hours… apparently all the flights arrived at the same time. Clearing customs took only about 5 – 10 minutes. BE AWARE… once you leave customs there are a bunch of guys dressed like they work at the airport ready to try to entice and trick you into a timeshare presentation. They will pretend like they are a taxi service and that all they will do is take you to your hotel… NOT TRUE. If you need a taxi avoid them and head directly to the area to the right of the exit that says taxi on it. I stayed in san jose which is slightly closer to the airport than san lucas cabo. The fare for a taxi was $ 50 flat rate no matter how many people or you can do a shared taxi ride for $ 14 per person. My friend and I decided on the shared taxi and only waited about 10 minutes until we left. We were the first stop to be let out so it was worth the savings in $$$.
DEPARTING: Clearing security was a breeze. Once through the security line there is a large duty free store. Food wise there is a Starbucks, Carls Jr, and a Subway. They prices are increased. The bathrooms in the sterile area are clean. There was no AC and for my 2 hour wait it got hot. I’m not sure if there is always no AC or if it was because it hasn’t been repaired yet from the hurricane. If you’re looking for wifi you can get a code on your receipt from Starbucks if you buy something. There is a VIP club if you have a pass where there is also free wifi. I found out during my stay in cabo that the public transportation bus goes to the airport for $ 1/​person. The buses are in nice condition with comfortable seating, wifi, and air conditioning. My friend and I decided to take the bus from our resort to the airport rather than paying $ 48 dollars more for a cab. The bus lets you off in front of terminal 2 and then you have to walk outside to terminal 1, but totally worth the savings if you don’t have too much luggage. You can take the bus from the airport to the resort too but there is not clearly marked area where the bus stops so you will probably have to ask someone where to go and hope that they direct you correctly.
To sum it up: this airport is in cabo… its such a beautiful place should we really care what the airport looks like? Even if it was a shack I would still come to this amazing place!!!

Esta quedando muy bien la nueva terminal, nuevo nuevo todo y con tiendas cafes y mucho mas eficiente servicio

This airport is the closest international airport to Los Cabos San Lucas city, so unfortunately this is all Mexico has to offer for flying in. I flew into this airport in January of 2015, they are still rebuilding the outside of the airport from the hurricane the previous year and updating the inside of the airport. The airport isn’t very big, they have two small terminals and no free Wi-​Fi is to be had here. The best way to get free Wi-​Fi is to simply buy a drink from the Starbucks in terminal 2, and they give you a password. Other than that, they have a VIP lounge that cost money to use and has free internet, open bar, food etc. The food options here aren’t very impressive, a small Corona themed restaurant, Sbarro Pizza, Subway and Carls Jr. Its kind of sad to see an airport that doesn’t represent any local flavors to the area, you know, like Mexican food? I would not advise eating in the airport, grab something before hand. The duty free store is quite large, they carry any type of booze you could ever comprehend.
The security is quite quick at checking people through to get in, however the customs line is super long and seemed to take forever when I arrived. Basically if you fly in around the same time as another flight, the customs line is gonna be super long, so be prepared to wait. This definitely isn’t the best airport, especially for a international one.

The space has been redone after the hurricane and it is better. Many improvements.
ARRIVING is annoying. Once you clear immigrations and customs– run, don’t walk past the numerous rooms of people trying to sell you stuff. Super aggressive and they lie. Get out as quickly as possible. Don’t stop and get outside to meet your ride. Prearranging is the best way to go and these are all outside the terminal.
LEAVING is easy. Duty free is only for people without a stop in Mexico (didn’t happen to us as we were flying directly home, but this seemed to piss off quite a large number of people). Lines were short and security was easy to go through.

This is cool little airport… They have a few gift shops, a Starbucks, some fast food restaurants, and tolerable seating. but nothing spectacular.
BEWARE OF THE TIMESHARE REPS!!!
They HARRASS you once you finally make it through customs. It took us a good 7minutes to finally get through the ‘transportation’ room. They were very aggressive and practically holding us hostage. They kept saying to us, «I’m in charge» and they made us feel like we would be arrested if we left… It was so ridiculous.
Finally we made it through that mess and arrived at the bar outside the airport…$ 20 Cadillac Margaritas: full of alcohol, huge, and totally worth it! They are the reason for the 3stars
