Getting to Playa del Carmen from Cancún Airport
About an hour down the coast from Cancún: how to choose a transfer, handle a group’s luggage and add Cozumel or Tulum.
Getting There
How to reach each destination we cover, from the airport or station to the door: flights and transfers for Grand Cayman, Antigua, St Barts via St Maarten, Punta Cana, Casa de Campo, Tulum, Los Cabos and Punta Mita, and the trains and car-free arrival for Zermatt and Verbier.
Each guide compares the routes by time and by how they suit luggage and a group, states entry documents as the responsible authority publishes them, and names what changes by season. Fares and timetables are dated to the page they were read from.
