Traveling to Mérida

There are two general ways to arrive to Mérida, México. Either flying directly into Aeropuerto Internacional Manuel Crescencio Rejón, located in Mérida, or flying into the Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancun in Cancún and taking either the Maya train or bus from the Cancún airport to Mérida. Please keep in mind that there is a 1-hour time difference between Cancún and Mérida, in case that is your choice of travel.

There are many direct flights into Cancún from all across the world, but there are also many flights from the Mexico City airport to Mérida.
