Medellín José María Córdova International Airport (MDE) is the city’s main international gateway, serving most long-haul and many regional flights with carriers ranging from legacy airlines to international low-cost operators. Located about 35–45 km (roughly 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic) southeast of downtown Medellín, it’s commonly reached by taxi, airport shuttle or bus; fares can typically run from modest bus prices up to mid-range taxi surcharges. Pros: broader international connections and more amenities than smaller fields. Cons: distance from the city center and occasional heavy traffic can add time and cost to transfers. Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH) functions largely as Medellín’s domestic and regional airport, handling short-haul flights and frequent feeder services from local carriers and regional airlines. It sits much closer to central Medellín — around 3–5 km (10–20 minutes by car or taxi) — and is often used by travelers prioritizing speed over long-haul connections. Access options include short taxi rides, local buses and occasional shuttle services with generally low fares. Pros: convenience and quick transfers for domestic trips. Cons: limited international routes and smaller terminal facilities compared with the main airport.

Cancún International Airport (CUN) is Mexico’s primary Caribbean gateway and a major international hub handling most long‑haul and regional flights; it’s commonly served by full‑service carriers and multiple low‑cost airlines, so fares can range from budget‑friendly to premium depending on season. The airport sits about 16–20 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from the hotel zone and downtown Cancún; taxis and shared vans (ADO buses/colectivos) are the main options, with transfer shuttles and private transfers also widely available — expect ADO fares to be modest while taxis and private shuttles are pricier. Pros: plentiful international connections and frequent ground transport; cons: can be busy during peak travel periods and arrival typical requires a shuttle or taxi to reach many resorts.
