Cancún International Airport (CUN) is Mexico’s major Caribbean gateway and typically functions as a large international hub serving both premium and low-cost carriers, with many flights from North America, Latin America and Europe. It’s about 16 km (10 miles) from downtown Cancún and 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic. Ground options include shared shuttles and private transfers (commonly 30–60 USD per vehicle for airport–hotel trips), airport taxis and public buses that can be much cheaper but slower; ADO buses to the bus terminal are usually the most economical, often under 10 USD. The airport is convenient for quick access to hotel zones and ferry links to nearby islands, but it can feel busy during peak seasons and security/immigration queues can add time to arrivals.

Dubai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s major international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and many global airlines; it’s located about 10–15 km from the city centre and usually reaches downtown in 15–30 minutes by metro, taxi or ride-hail (fares and times vary by route and traffic). Dubai World Central / Al Maktoum (DWC) is a newer, growing airport often used by some low-cost and cargo operators and can be cheaper for budget-conscious travellers; it sits roughly 40–50 km south of central Dubai with transfers typically taking 30–60 minutes by bus, shuttle or taxi. DXB offers wide connectivity and frequent services but can be busy; DWC can be quieter and sometimes less expensive but is farther out, so ground transport options and schedules are important to check.
