Cancún International Airport (CUN) is Mexico’s busiest gateway to the Caribbean and functions as a major international hub rather than a small domestic field. The airport typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines offering many seasonal and year-round routes from North America, Europe and Latin America, which can make fares competitive during shoulder seasons. The terminals sit about 16 km (10 miles) from the hotel zone and downtown Cancún; transfer times are usually 20–45 minutes by car depending on traffic. Options include ADO and private shuttles (roughly MXN fares vary), taxis and ride-hailing services, with shuttle buses often being the most economical. Pros: convenient international connections and modern facilities; cons: busy peak periods, occasional longer waits at immigration and transport queues.
Quito’s main gateway is Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO), a modern international hub serving most long-haul and regional flights and commonly used by full-service carriers and several low-cost operators. Located about 18–30 km east of the city center depending on route, transfer times can range from roughly 30–60 minutes by taxi or ride-hail (fares typically vary with traffic and service, often in a moderate range) and about 45–70 minutes by airport shuttle or private transfer. The airport offers streamlined passenger facilities and direct links to major domestic destinations, though transfers during peak traffic can be slower and fares may increase at night. For budget travelers there are occasional smaller airports/airstrips around the region for charters and domestic links, but UIO is usually the primary choice for international arrivals and departures.
