Guanajuato International Airport

Its a small airport but has everything you need. Restaurant, atm, and auto rental, clean restrooms, The only thing is you have to exit the plane using one of those rolling staircases, so they're not a 100% accessible to everyone. Also, you have to exit the plane and walk from the landing strip to the airport, which can be annoying in harsh weather.

A spacious airport with a variety of eateries and cafes, but with some pain points. The biggest issue was security. It was painfully slow, with only two lanes open, and the process was not efficient at all. After passing through security, there seemed to be some construction underway to open a duty-free section. Beyond that, the airport has two levels with a variety of shops and restaurants. The toilets, both airside and outside the security zone, were average. Compared to other GAP airports in Mexico, this one could use some updates to make them more modern. Another odd experience was after arriving at the airport by plane (a domestic flight), passing baggage claim, there were immigration officers and the Guardia Nacional checking passports and IDs. This was surprising, given that El Bajio is nowhere near the international border. Overall, it’s a decent airport, but improvements could definitely enhance the airport experience.

León Guanajuato Airport is clean and modern. It is a charming and beautiful airport, making the waiting experience quite pleasant. There are plenty of bathrooms and good dining options available. For travelers with dollars, prices are very affordable. Overall, it is a wonderful airport.

Very nice and organized airport, fast and efficient check-in. It could be because of the time, about 4am. Busy but not extremely. So everything went smoothly. Oddly, the airport smelled very good when we walked in. Bathrooms are very clean as well. Oh, and Christmas decorations were beautiful!!

Traveling to Mexico this was my final stop and my airport for heading home. Bajío as locals call it is one of my favorite airports! Calm clean atmosphere. Easy through customs and very friendly service. Cute shops to find some last minute gifts. I definitely try to use this airport when in GTO .

Airport itself is magnificent. Security at the airport is odd and doesn't feel trustworthy. My wife and I were bringing a rock to my Dad for Christmas but it was seized. We were told it could be used as a weapon and wasn't "sterile". Yet we were told by the same guard we could buy similar rocks in one of the airport's stores. I asked where in the rules this was shown and he pulled up a Spanish manual of some kind citing anything that appeared as a weapon could be confiscated on site. We were never told about this. While we were there, I saw this same guard confiscate a deflated soccer ball and a souvenir Guanajuato bell from other passengers saying that they could be used as weapons. Please if you're going through this airport consider paying the extra money to get your items and souvenirs sent as a carry on so guards don't take them.

Flew in, flew out without any issues. It is not a very busy airport. The restrooms were clean and the coffee was great!

The airport is clean the staff is nice but once you get to the boarding area please do not buy small decoration iteams or small salsa seal jars. They won’t let you through with them. I heard of many complaints on the staff checking bags taking them home did not believe till it happen to me I was trying to throw away the purchase iteams but did allow me and keep them.

I'm impressed by the installations of this airport. Flying in or departing it's a breeze depending on the time you fly. We arrived late at night and departed early morning. Since we had our boarding passes and did not check in luggage, you can basically walk directly into security. There are restaurants and stores open basically all day. The only inconvenience is renting a car which you have to be taken to a different parking area close by, but you have to wait for the shuttle. But honestly compared to other airports close by (SLP) what a different experience!

El Aeropuerto muy bien pero este restaurant / bakery llamado maison kayser en el segundo piso es un burla. Una galleta de nuez y chocolate for 95 pesos y me cobran en dólares !! La galleta super dura y no me la cambiaron. Muy mal, fotos abajo !!

Small airport and very easy to navigate. Customs and security were no issues, lines were manageable and moving pretty fast. No issues finding our way around. There are some food options, on the cheaper side, local snacks, better than other airports. Ground transportation is an adventure. I used every word of Spanish I knew and it did help to get a cab to San Miguel de Allende. Otherwise, no issues, pleasant experience.

Landed into this airport I was the first one off of the plane. I was overwhelmed with all the employees waiting on people to get off of the plane All of the employees were dressed nicely in their uniform. I was immediately directed to follow a person to the appropriate check in Basically customs checked my passport ensured my paperwork was completed correctly. Once I passed that check point I was escorted to the next check point My luggage was X-ray I was questioned as to why I was entering the country ect Then after I passed that my temperature was taken. I had to use hand gel ect. Then I was welcomed to the county lol. Small airport but very efficiently ran and yes still an International airport.

Love this airport. Small but keeps getting better. For rentals, National emailed me saying I'd get the keys at the counter. But that's not the counter you see when you first exit. They'll tell you to go to the vans to the right when you exit the airport (or wait there for one). There's now a kids zone by gate 1. Plenty of food and things to buy. The priority pass lounge is really nice. Bigger than I remember from 5 years ago (but that could have been in auguas due to a snafu by united...). In any case,youll order small bites due to covid protocol.

Way better than Morelia, Fast Checkin, going through security was a breeze, getting on the plane was fast as well! Silao never disappoints highly recommend!

This airport was extremely small for an international airport and was very organized. It has few shops and limited food options, but gets you from A to B. The staff is faster than other airports I have been to and very polite. I purchased breakfast at a counter on the second floor, called Star Island Cafe and it tasted amazing.

Very small airport and long lines. Coming in was really quick. Leaving was slow. We arrived in plenty of time so it wasn't an issue of missing our flight. We just spent a long time to check in and our luggage. They have a small counter and very few agents. Due to our flight was going to be delayed they were rerouting many people's connecting flights. After checking in we ate at the only restaurant they have. Next we went through security. We were stamped TSA Pre-check, but it was all the same. Much quicker and smoother then SFO. Next it was a bit confusing where the gates were located as they were remodeling. We found our gate and were able to plug in and charge our devices. That was a very nice feature. Boarding was simple. They randomly checked baggage a 2nd time. There is a small convince store and pre-made café near the gates.

arrival: the customs process was pretty painfully slow... you deplane, have to walk along the airport sidewalk outside (yes, outside) until you reach the first customs passport check point. then you go to baggage claim, then there they will have dogs busting you. i got busted for having orange chicken in my bag... so they took it away. smh. thought they were supposed to be busting drugs. then the baggage customs was yet another gauntlet. i guess they take security really seriously. departure: security is fast. the gates area has come a long way, it used to be very run down 5 years ago, more shops and food stalls now. quaint, clean, nothing glamorous. and the boarding was a mess for volaris... no announcements of groups being boarded, you just gotta go with the flow. overall, the airport has come a LONG way :)

they sold our fucking flight off because we didn't check in 3 days before??? do not ever buy a flight here. no airport does this to people who buy round trips two weeks before. fuck this airport and don't ever buy tickets here. they money grab everyone and mess flights up so bad. never flying here again ik about to miss my classes because their asses

Tiny tiny little airport but it's international and has a United desk. (My airline of choice). Only six gates and no food options once past security. The Duty Free is very minimal. Perfume, Liquor and cigarettes is about it. I made the mistake of waiting until at the airport to get a few trinkets for the kids on the way home but unfortunately no selection apart from candy which was a no go due to it probably melting. I was very surprised at the minimal security here. It was quiet and non intrusive which is a change from what I am used to. Allow yourself plenty of time to get to the airport. Roads are busy and congested. We had a driver and allowed ourselves 90 minutes extra time. English is not widely spoken here.

I have been coming to this airport for many years as my husbands family lives in Leon and we try to make it back at least 2x per year. In the past years it has gone through so many renovations. I had not been back since last year and was pleasantly surprised at everything that has been changed. Their bathrooms are by far the cleanest airport bathrooms I've been too they smell so clean. Their customs dept are always very welcoming. They have added a duty free store and Starbucks and the waiting area is so comfortable

Very clean and efficient airport. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Not a very big airport though international. New sections built to travelers exit right into airport. Plenty of drivers outside and a concierge for questions

Very clean, easy access and super friendly staff. Haven't been here in ten years but seems to get better and easier to navigate through the airport to get to your distention. Don't speak Spanish? It's ok they speak English to! Remember no water allowed going through baggage X-ray machines.

While attempting to check in at the desk, Edna was apparently the only one who had any idea how to do her job. Everyone else behind the desk depended on her and had one question after another. Made everything so much slower. Staff should be trained how to do their jobs.

I was really lucky this trip, being able to fly in and out of Midway and this airport--my beloved BJX. I don't know anyone who enjoys the process of going to an airport--checking your luggage, going through security, etc--but at least in a small airport it should be easier. When you go through customs you're asked to press a button, and if a green light comes on you keep your ass on walking, but if the red light comes up your bags are checked. I got the red light, and I had my bags and was walking out of the airport about 45 minutes after we had landed. Bright and clean, it obviously isn't very large, so it would actually suck being stranded there because there aren't a while lot of options for...well, for anything really. And I don't know if there's air conditioning, but it was mid-eighties that day and it was pretty hot and stuffy inside. I did see about a dozen or so power outlets at a station near my gate, which didn't seem like very many as they were all occupied, but I guess it's better than none! Despite those things it's still a really great airport. I especially love the fact that it took me fifteen minutes to check my bag, get my ticket, go through security, and reach my gate. Fifteen freaking minutes. It took me longer to get in line and board the plane! The staff was very friendly and professional, smiling-n-$#!t, even the security people! what?! By the time I got to my gate I was in a better mood than when I had walked in. I love this airport, and I kind of hate airports in general. Now if only they'd open up a restaurant, or at least a window to let the breeze in.

What a dump this place is. The elevators and escalators to half of the gates do not work. If you're in a wheelchair or have a stroller you would have some fun getting to your destination. The terminal is absolutely infested with flies. They are everywhere. Taking a look at the extract air ducts you can see why, they haven't been cleaned in years and are blocked with filth. Absolutely disgusting. The toilets are tiny and dirty too. Oh and the free wi-fi that they tout all over the airport? That doesn't work either. As I said. A complete dump.

I used to fly to Guadalajara and then take a bus for 3 hours to get to Leon. Although is very small I am super grateful that the airport is so close!

Often listed as El Bajío on flight destination signs, this is a smaller airport serving several popular cities in the area. There are 6 gates: 3 above and 3 below - and sometimes flights are moves from one level to the other and then back.

The place was or is freaking HOT (as I'm sitting down waiting to board the plane). And it's 5AM!!! Yeah, they need air conditioners.

The guacamole grill restaurant the food is super expensive and horrible, don't waste your money in this restaurant.

Tiny airport. We passed through customs in a flash. Taxis are pricy. I'd suggest getting an uber

Nice little airport in Guanajuato... its convenient for me when I go back home. The airport was under construction again (seems like it always is) but it still had a few food stores and convenience stores available. Most of the stores open at 5am so be mindful if you have a flight around that time. I was able to get a muffin and coffee and pay with dollars. Also going through the xray machines is always hassle-free and the employees are helpful (although I speak Spanish so it makes it easier anyway). Also, note there is an international airport in Queretaro which might be another good option depending on the region in Guanajuato you are visiting.

Small international airport in GTO. The people working customs were friendly and so were the ones at check-in. However, I don't recommend eating here, Everything is always closed for some reason.

Nice airport - easy to get around in and follow signage - the place seemed very clean and the people I ran into were all very nice! Not a bad airport at all - no worries!

Horrible customer service. They try to find any excuse to charge you. All they want is money. I've had a horrible experience with a "customs" girl trying to intimidate me and accusing me of having things I had to declare in my luggage until I told her that I didn't but even if I did and being a Mexican citizen I had the right to bring into the country up to $500 dollars in gifts under the "Programa Paisano" and then she looked surprised that I knew my rights and just let me go. This is only one of the many horrible experiences

I'm so disappointed that I was told that I have to put my unprocessed films through x-ray. They told me the other option is to check in another bag for $1200 with my film rolls and that checked-in bag will not go through x-ray. Wow, wish a kindergarten kid could believe that.

Airport is too small. They have no places to get food. The immigration services here are absolutely terrible!! t-_-t.... ..

I been to this airport for a couple of times. I love how it's a small airport really easy to find the places in and out. Really good customer services up in the front his name was Julian. He had explained how the priority people have more advantages. The restrooms are good too not like TIJ where the toilets are horrible.
