Cancún International Airport (CUN) is the region’s main international gateway, handling most long-haul and vacation traffic to the Riviera Maya alongside several smaller regional airports. Expect a mix of major network carriers and many low-cost and charter airlines serving seasonal leisure routes; fares to the area can be competitive, particularly on budget carriers. CUN sits about 16 km (10 miles) from downtown Cancún and roughly 20–70 km from popular resort zones; shared shuttles and private transfers typically take 20–60 minutes, taxis about 20–40 minutes, while ADO buses to downtown run 25–40 minutes—prices range from inexpensive public buses to higher-cost private transfers. Pros: extensive route network, many ground-transport options, modern facilities; cons: can be busy in high season and transfer times to some resorts may be lengthy.

Gatwick is a large international airport to the south, often positioned for a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers; trains to Victoria or London Bridge usually take 30–40 minutes and can be economical. Stansted and Luton are primarily budget-oriented airports north and northeast of the city, commonly used by low-cost airlines; express/coach links typically run 40–70 minutes with lower fares but longer journeys. London City Airport serves business travelers and regional flights, located just 10 km east of the financial districts; it’s commonly reachable by DLR in about 20–30 minutes and is valued for convenience despite limited long-haul options.
