Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is Bangkok’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some low-cost and regional flights. Located about 30–35 km east of downtown, it’s typically reached by the Airport Rail Link (30–45 minutes), taxis (40–60 minutes depending on traffic), or airport buses; fares can range from low single digits for the train to moderate taxi fares plus tolls. The terminal is usually modern and spacious with many lounges and services, making it comfortable for transfers, though peak-hour road congestion can add unpredictability to journey times. Overall it’s convenient for international travelers seeking direct connections. Don Mueang (DMK) acts primarily as Bangkok’s budget and domestic airport, commonly used by low-cost carriers and regional operators. It sits roughly 20–25 km north of the city center and is typically accessible by local buses, shuttle services, taxis (30–60 minutes depending on traffic), and commuter trains; travel times and fares are generally lower than to Suvarnabhumi, but can vary with rush-hour congestion. The facilities are usually functional rather than luxurious, so passengers can expect efficient low-cost operations but fewer premium services. It’s a practical choice for budget-conscious flyers and short-haul itineraries.

Cancún International Airport (CUN) is Mexico’s main Caribbean gateway and typically functions as a major international hub for leisure travel rather than a domestic budget base. You’ll find a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines serving vacation routes from North America and Latin America, so fares can range from economical to premium depending on season. The airport sits about 16 km (10 miles) from downtown Cancún and roughly 25–45 minutes to the hotel zone by road. Ground options include shared shuttles and private transfers (30–60 USD typical), ADO buses and colectivos (about 1–5 USD, 45–75 minutes), or taxis (20–40 USD, quicker but pricer). Pros: extensive international connections and tourist-oriented services; cons: can be crowded during high season and transfer costs to resort areas can add up.
