Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) serves Cartagena as the main international and domestic gateway, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional/budget airlines. It is located about 6–8 km from the historic city center, with taxi rides usually taking 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly COP 15,000–40,000; app-based taxis and shared shuttles can be available for similar ranges. Airport buses and private transfers are usually offered for a bit more predictability. Pros: compact terminal and relatively quick arrivals/departures for short connections; cons: can be busy during peak holiday months and limited late-night public transport. Expect convenient access for resort- and city-bound travelers, though fares and journey times can vary with season and traffic.
Mexico City is served by two main airports. Mexico City International Airport (AICM) is the primary international hub, handling the bulk of long-haul and full-service carriers alongside many domestic flights; it’s typically viewed as mid- to high-priced for connectivity. Located about 15–20 km east of the historic center, travel by Metro plus bus can take 40–60 minutes for a few MXN, while taxis or rideshares normally take 30–45 minutes and can be moderately more expensive. The airport offers wide amenities but can be busy and subject to congestion. Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA), north of the city, is a newer cost-competitive option used often by low-cost and some domestic operators. At roughly 45–60 km from downtown, transfers can be longer—expect 60–90 minutes by road depending on traffic—with shuttle and bus alternatives offering lower fares. AIFA can be quieter and cheaper but less centrally located and with fewer international connections.
