"Growing connectivity at the international airport has helped raise the destination's profile: Alaska Airlines offers seasonal daily flights from Los Angeles and less frequent service from San Francisco and San Diego; American Airlines flies direct from Phoenix and Dallas; WestJet operates direct flights from Calgary. Travelers are cautioned that drives to regional hubs can be long—La Paz and Los Cabos are roughly four and six hours away, respectively—so a direct flight is recommended when possible." - Carley Rojas Avila

Very small and straight forward airport. We just landed today and the experience was great. No waiting anywhere. Very fast in and out.
I’ll update this in a few days when is time to flight back. Hope is also great.

I departed Baja California Sur (B.C.S.), Mexico from Loreto International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional de Loreto) in mid-March 2025. It's a one terminal airport. There are a few small cafés that sell snacks and souvenirs.

Do yourself a favor, if you are questioning the legality of anything you are bringing into Mexico, you better check the laws. The officials here are on top of things. Smokeless tobacco is banned, by decree since 2022 but it is now on the books as of January 2025. Sucks flying in. But much better flying out of here. Some cool little shops to get snacks and last minute souvenirs.

Small, but very efficient international airport. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is there’s no duty free to spend your leftover pesos. I wish American airports took security as seriously as LTO

Worst airport experience of my life. We waited two hours after deplaning, no ac in the airport, it was well over 100 degrees inside with a line that barely moved. THEN they had the audacity to flag people for extra screening WITH NO ONE to do the extra screening. The employees said "the people that do that are in the office, they're slow to come out". Rude, inconsiderate, will never fly into Lareto again.

Small town airport but haven't encountered issues so far. Cad rental agencies are pretty pricy so book ahead of time and don't do it in person. They have plenty or restrooms for such a small place (think corner store small). Establishment is for the most part clean. They have 2 bars pre-check in and one bar past the security gate. One snack bar on each side. Lots of hotels in town, about a 4 minute drive.
It's hot in Baja so be prepared to wait outside to board and exit the plane in 95 degree weather. I also noticed some people were having issues with their fishing gear and golf club cases. Customs can be a pain

Great little airport that is well done and efficient. Do not, I repeat, do not buy a beer at the airport bar while you are waiting for your ride to arrive. Mucho expensive! lol

The beauty of this airport is the bar to gate ratio is nearly even. It's bar crawl heaven. You can hit five bars in about as many steps.
