Los Cabos International Airport

Quick and easy. Was told to get here 3 hrs early and it took approximately 15 minutes from walking in the door to get thru security. Likely not the norm, but found the corona bar near gate 6 and had a few margaritas before boarding. Might be the margs, but slightly confused what this sign in the bathroom means...

The SJD airport is modern and has efficient check-in and security. Avoid shopping especially airside on Terminal 2 (International flights). Stay away from the cosmetic stores. Do not even buy a chocolate bar unless you are aware of how much it will cost you.

SJD airport is a small airport which makes things easier when moving around from checking bags and the correct boarding gate. Plenty of places to eat along the way

We were leaving cabo to go home late January this year. The womens bathrooms on both ends of the airport were absolutely disgusting. Toilets piled high with toilet paper, unable to flush, overflowing. People were shoving toilet paper up their noses to block the smell just to hover over the mess to relieve themselves. I thought since those we so bad id take my kids to the family/ handi accessible bathroom. The door didn't lock and the same issue presented itself. Toilet paper forming a mountain in the toilet. No way to flush at all.

Beautiful clean airport. But very expensive. Most airports have water fountains, to fill our refillable bottles, necessary for life. No fountains here, to make things worse, they charge $10-15 US for a litre of bottle. That is terrible at least charge less. Found that Starbucks fill your water bottle free. Prices of food were better than other restaurants . All stores and restaurants very expensive.

Be careful of scams. When we were exiting the airport, there's a section of tour guides right before the taxi area. Make sure to avoid and follow through with your plans. We got stopped by an overly friendly and charming man. He promised a good showing of upcoming new resorts and a beautiful cruise showcasing lover's rock (two big rock arches in ocean). My sister planned the whole trip for the family. The guy grabbed my parents' attention and they talked and exchanged numbers. These people play a scam. They drove us into a three security check point of armed guards into a resort trying to spread out and were looking for investors. We had no signal/data because our plans were to stay at our resort hotel. We couldn't check if this was normal, if this was a scam, we couldn't call a taxi. Basically our ride back was signing on as investors for the resort. This was after walking us around their resort showing the great views and having a comp lunch buffet. After signing and "becoming friends" we were told by the sales people we signed contracts with that the man we meet at the airport does this for a living. That he has a nice house, a very nice car, etc. They pay people like him to bring in foreign investors and put a lot of positive reinforcements behind it. We got handed tickets to the cruise afterwards to finish the day. Instead of the romantic nice cruise, it was a pirate themed b-boy breakdancing sea adventure with family style food served. It was actually fun and the crew was great, but we were still scammed. And we lost money and time adventuring outside than to stay at our paid for all you can eat and drink resort. All this started at the airport. And to think the airport would allow these sorts of scams to exist! It actually happened to a friend who went to Mexico with her family as well. How is this even allowed?

The airport is overall nice clean and easy to navigate. My issue is with the prices on anything from water,soda, and souvenirs. This place by far has the most outrageous prices of any airport. $18.00 dollars for a water and a coke. Its cheaper on the plane, and you can get alcohol with the soda. A magnet or a bottle opener souvenir almost $15.00 each. Duty free alcohol can be 3 times as much. Save some money and buy stuff downtown or anywhere but this airport.

Small but decent. The airport is very cute, it is small but it is actually bustling. I deplaned on the outside and walked in. There was no immigration, just bag scanner and then on the outside. WiFi inside the airport and works great. When leaving the airport for return flight the area for waiting was small but had a Starbucks, convenience store and I also saw a Wings restaurant among others. We also boarded outside.

Lots of electronic updates here making it even easier to get through immigration. You just scan your passport at a terminal and wait for a photo to be taken. You get a receipt like document showing your entry and then you are free to keep going to customs, where you wait for your turn to press the red button. The immigration process is totally automated now. You don't talk to anyone. They also made some upgrades to the interior that make it look cleaner and more organized. This airport is really small and Ive never waited more than five minutes to get through security. Sometimes there is no wait at all! If you do mobile check in and have no bags to check it will take you less than 15 minutes to get through security to your gate. If you need to wait in line at your airline for assistance, that can take a much longer time. There are no shuttles to different areas of this airport. It's small and one building with all the gates close together.

Cabo San Lucas International Airport is......a whole mood all by itself. Arrivals are smooth but be prepared for the timeshare gauntlet the moment you exit customs. You'll feel like a VIP being chased by very polite people offering you "free tequila"and "just five minutes." Best advice - keep walking, don't make eye contact, and trust no clipboard. Departures are cool but still chaotic. Food and drink options are fine (pricey, but expected), bathrooms were clean, which honestly counts for a lot. Would use again... but will mentally be prepared next time.

Busy airport. Signs could be more clear. Employees were kind. I moss not having seat covers to use in the bathroom :) Great visit

Pacific Grill is an absolute scam of a business! $200 for a mediocre terrible meal for a family of 4. We don't even get charged $200 in the states at the airport. They force you to have Fiji water instead of tap water because they don't offer that. The waiter gives you chips and guacamole and says it's really good but acts like it's included and then charges you for it. Then he adds a 20% tip?! For what? Absolutely worst service and you deserve nothing at all. Shitty business! We would have been 100X better off at Carl's Jr!

Flown into this airport a couple of times, it's fairly easy to navigate, however, the draw back is upon leaving the airport you will be hassled by taxi drivers, vacation sales reps and a host of others trying to get your attention and money. Keep walking straight to the outside to make the proper transfer connections.

We enjoyed our visits through the Cabo airport. We flew in domestically from Tijuana and departed internationally to Houston. While the airport in full is a great, the difference between the domestic and international terminal is wild! We spent more time in international, which is Terminal 2. This terminal has a phenomenal Duty Free shop, legit one of the best I have seen! They had all the goods from alcohol, make-up, glasses, clothings, snacks, souvenirs, candy and more. We got a few bags of candy, a magnet and a bottle of White Hennessy. Outside of the Duty Free shop, the rest of the terminal is equally impressive. They have several eateries including local spots and even an STK. in addition they have a small food court with Carl's Jr, Subway, Sbarro and few other fast food places. Plus they have two Starbucks, so never too long of a wait for that coffee. The shopping is also great with several local souvenir shops plus a few branded stores. Signage was clear and easy to follow. The whole terminal was well kept and clean, including the restrooms, which were surprising as well. Overall, they do airports right in Cabo! Wildly impressed and happy to travel in and out again!

Always love flying into Cabo. The airport is simple, clean and modern. If you have global entry ( I highly recommend it). You scan your face and you are done. Beats the days when you had to stay in line for an hour

One of two airports that serve the Cabo Mexico general area, Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) serves as the main commercial gateway to the region. It offers more than 25 direct flights to US cities, and is served by all the major US airlines. My wife and I took a 2 hour round-trip direct flight from LAX on Delta, and found the airport to be spacious and well-staffed, though a little difficult for drivers because of the major road construction in the area. Located about 42 km from downtown Cabos San Lucas, SJD initially opened in 1977, but started to become what it is today in 1997, with one modern terminal, serving both international and domestic flights. This corresponded to the growing popularity of the region for tourists during that time. In 2002, Terminal 2 was added primarily for international flights. That's the terminal we used for our trip, and found it to be as modern as any non-metropolitan airport we have used. This included efficient check-in and security processes, spacious gates with common modern seating, jet bridges used throughout, and very good climate control inside. Upon arrival, old form custom forms were handed out and various stand-up desks were provided along the way to customs. Immigration was quick, requiring a self-serve passport scan (no direct face to face interview). The airport has good free wi-fi, just requiring acceptance of terms (no PII needed). The parking lot connected to the terminal is where shuttles pick you up. You do need to walk through a gauntlet of time share hawkers. We had been warned via an email from our hotel not to stop inside the airport, but got fooled. They are good at identifying newbies and routing them to the actual sellers. We actually found our rep to be friendly and not too pushy. We used a one-way private shuttle to our resort, costing about $95 USD for the two of us. On our way back, we took an Uber from near Cabo San Lucas: it was quite a bit cheaper (~$45) that our shuttle, even though a longer distance. It dropped us off right at departures. Going through passport control (one scan of passport) and security (one line that fans into multiple scanners) was very quick. At this time, shoes no longer need to taken off, but things like removed belts, taken out laptops, and emptying your pockets still apply. There is a large food court in Terminal 2 with many US style fast food restaurants. One must pass through a large duty-free shop to make your way from security to the terminal gates. A pharmacy, Corona store, and Starbucks coffee are other things we noticed. We spent some time at the one lounge at the airport, and boarded about 15 minutes late. It wasn't a full flight, allowing us to be upgraded to First. The flight to LA is a little under 2 hours flight time, but they still served us lunch and it was good. It was a nice way to leave Cabo from our short trip.

I was pleasantly surprised by how efficient and well-run this airport is. My private transfer was running late, and with a 45-minute drive ahead, plus construction delays, I was convinced we'd miss our flight. I was especially worried about how long bag check and security would take. But to my surprise, everything at this airport ran like a well-oiled machine. Even though the terminal was fairly busy, checking our bags with American Airlines only took about 15 minutes, and security was a breeze--just 10 minutes. We ended up at our gate with nearly 30 minutes to spare. Had this been TSA in the U.S., I'm almost certain we would've missed our flight. The airport is clean, comfortable, and full of restaurants and shops for grabbing a bite or picking up last-minute souvenirs. There's even an STK lounge if you enjoy lounges. Most importantly, the airport staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience that much better. A few important tips for travelers: 1. Avoid the last room before the exit after arriving. This area is swarming with aggressive timeshare salespeople and scammers who will lie and pretend they're there to take you to your resort. Don't engage with them--don't even stop to talk. Just keep walking straight outside until you reach the official transportation area for shuttle transfers or taxis. 2. Uber is not allowed to pick up at the airport. If you plan to use Uber, you'll need to take a taxi or shuttle to a location off airport property first, then call your Uber from there. It's inconvenient, but it's how the system works, largely to protect local taxi business. 3. Secure your shuttle transfer well before your arrival. It will make life much easier and you'll be able to start your stress-free vacation as soon as you walk out of those doors. 4. Do your research on things you can and (can't) carry into Mexico, I cannot stress this enough! My daughter brought three $200 walkie-talkies in her carry-on for us to use around the resort and on the beach. We didn't know these were not allowed in Mexico. We were pulled aside, questioned, and interrogated on why we were bringing them into the country. The agent interrogating us was very skeptical and nearly confiscated them. She said she was going to give us the benefit of doubt this one time, and to never bring them into the country again or next time they will be confiscated, and we will be fined or worse. Lesson learned! I truly believe if we were 2 men, our outcome would've been much worse. Bottom line: if you're unsure about something, leave it at home. It's not worth the risk. Overall: Highly recommended. Just stay alert when you arrive, and the rest of your experience should be smooth and enjoyable.

I have very recently traveled through 3 International Mexican Airports and hands down, this one in Los Cabos, is so far the best. I say this on many grounds. Arriving at the airport for a departure, you enter wide spaces, no bumping into people and broad check in airport counter lines. After that, facial recognition takes care of immigration, very smoothly. But what happened to that ticket we were issued on arrival and told to not loose so that we hand back on departure? Nobody asked for it. In this context, a few days before arriving, Alaska Airlines sent me to a website to pay for a visitor tax. It stated that you will need to pay 470 MXN, or have difficulties at the airport. You are emailed a QR code (which I did get) and you will have to show it both on entry and departure, or you would be held up, yes. Nobody asked me for the QR code. I also did not see anyone being asked for it either, or held up. This questionable web site is run by a company (Embrace It), based in Canada and they work in conjunction with the local Cabo government authorities. What was even more disturbing was that the fee of 470 Mexican Pesos translates to about $25 (it is also advertised that way), but you are charged $28 plus, when you select to pay in Mexican pesos. Is this not another scam? Yes, I am not happy about this, at all. Security points to get to the departure gates are well managed and spacious. So, is the departure area. Air conditioning is adequate. And there are enough food places for your appetite. If you wish to leave Mexico by eating at Subway, Carls Jr., Sbarro or Panda Express, they are also here for you. LOL. I shun US brands when I am traveling, even till the last minute. I always go for local stuff and settled for Tacos Frontera. They were good. Departure gates (19 of them, in Terminal 2), are so well spaced, that you will have to walk quite a bit to get to your gate. There is no cluttering here. You can breathe freely. A good design. So tell me please. What's the beef on this must keep and show Immigration arrival ticket AND must pay Visitor tax?

When you land at the airport, you must follow their policies and procedures like any other airport. When you exit a lot of people will talk to you regarding the taxi, activities, and presentation. Because we already included our car going to our hotel so we went straight outside and found the person that assigned to us.

Éste aeropuerto fue parcialmente destruido durante el huracán Odil en el 2014. Yo viví ese año en Cabo San Lucas. Y me tocó verlo. Las autoridades inmediatamente se pusieron a trabajar para restablecer el servicio y pone el área al 100% utilizable. Creo que ha habido remodelaciones y adecuaciones en el mismo; el trabajo arquitectónico ,personalmente hablando, es hermoso hasta lo que aprecio. Las salas de salidas internacionales están muy amplias. Tienen gran variedad de comida para los usuarios. Muchas personas, informando si tienes alguna duda en los pasillos. El ruido es regular. Todo está súper limpio. Que Dios los bendiga y sigan haciendo un excelente trabajo English : This airport was partially destroyed during Hurricane Odil in 2014. I lived that year in Cabo San Lucas. The authorities immediately got to work to restore the service and makes the area 100% usable. I think there have been remodeling and adaptations in it; the architectural work, personally speaking, is beautiful as far as I appreciate. The international departure gates are very spacious.

May God bless you and keep doing an excellent job! Thankzzz

Recently flew into Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) for a quick trip and yes this was a great experience. Let just start with right outside the exit as soon as you walk out to meet your transportation, they have outdoor bars set up so you can start your vacation right now. The prices are a little high but hey, what better way to start a vacation. Picking up your luggage and getting through immigration was super easy and painless (Facial-scanning tech). If you have pre-arranged transportation just walk past the folks on the way out and go to the exit, they are trying to sell you something, timeshare presentation, excursions etc. If you are ready to get to your vacation just keep walking. Besides there are drinks right outside that you need to get to. On my trip back everything went just as smooth. A great feature is the check-in kiosk, all of the airlines are on the screen so you can check-in at any one of the machines in the airport, neat little feature that I wish we had in the states. Before going through security make sure that you don't have anything that you shouldn't as I saw lots of people getting stuff pulled out of their luggage. Overall super efficient and well managed in getting you through and to your gate. Getting back through security was so effortless though that I had extra time so that I could explore the airport. Lots of last minute goodies in the duty free shop and lots of other shops to pick up those last minute souvonirs. The food court was large and open with lots of options also. Overall, the airport is easy to get through both on the way in and on the way out, fast customs, beautiful inside, great artwork, organized, fast, again easy in & easy out. What more could you ask for.

Flying home early evening from Cabo San Lucas and it's 5:30-6pm, after making our way through a very quiet customs and through the airport to the gates, we found the Starbucks are closed as are all the restaurants! The one taco place/bar down by gate 12 was a joke! $30 for the 3 taco plate! Couldn't bit into them as the corn tortillas were chewy and inedible! $10 modelo, $9 bottle of water! Chips and guac $22 highway robbery! In Mexico! Ridiculous. Our gate, 15 was quiet. Maybe 20 people on our Alaska Airlines flight home to Los Angeles. Gotta get home!

SJD airport in Cabo is easy to get through in a reasonable amount of time. There is a duty free shop. Several restaurants and stores. Snacks are expensive, but available if you're hungry. Plenty of seating and relatively clean.

Very easy to get in and out of this airport. First time arriving at this airport. You will be inundated with people offering you excursions etc. When you exit the airport it is a whole nother vibe! Be prepared for food and drinks while you wait for your shuttle etc. Cool experience.

Security quick, more stores filled out but cost of food is outrageous even for an airport. $43 CAD for a Subway sandwich with tip? Crazy prices. Service slow throughout. 2 waters and 2 packs of Cheetos- $53 CAD.

I know flying in to any airport you aren't used to can be challenging, and when that airport is in a foreign country ever moreso, but this place got it done well and quickly! Walking out on rickety stairs down to the runway and then getting on a bus to customs was a little strange but a cool experience!

Only one lounge. Bathrooms are clean. Plenty of duty free shopping. Starbucks is overpriced. Their seating is plentiful and some seats have an ottoman type foot fest to let you tilt backwards. The lounge isn't much and it's only for people with priority pass or some other means. For me, this place served its purpose - clean bathrooms before the flight and not overly crowded leaving. Coming in.... That baggage claim area was really overflowing.

SJD is a small international airport about 40 minutes away from Cabo San Lucas. The airport isn't exactly open 24 hours, so don't try to camp overnight or go there too early in the mornig. Overall, I found the airport to be in a decent shape, functionality wise. However, it lacks the amenities I was expecting. For instance, the airport lounge doesn't open until 9am, so if you are catching an early flight, you would likely have to get something to eat from vending shops there (e.g. Starbucks...which the service speed wasn't good at all). Also, note that for incoming travelers to this airport, Uber isn't allowed to pick you up..so you may have to walk yourself over to the departure area for Uber to pick you up. Else, you'd need to hire a local taxi group/shuttle to get there.

Los Cabos airport (SJD) - April/May 2025 Beware of the people trying to sell you packages and excursions! After going through customs, someone immediately approach and telling us to check in with them. Now, I've already arranged transportation with Costco and vaguely remembered that I was to meet my representation/driver at Bay 9. We ignore the lady and keep on walking and search for Bay 9, despite that she was still trying to get us to check-in. We entered the next section and again someone approach us with a clipboard and asked if I have my confirmation number for transportation. I told her we are looking for Bay 9 and she said we should check in with the gentleman on the counter. We were hesitant but decided to see what's going on. Sure enough, he is trying to sell us dinner on the beach, day trip on the boat to see the The Arch of Cabo San Lucas and massages for two people for free. We managed to say no to everything nicely and finally directed to head outside which we see the bay numbers for transportation! I thought all of that was such a waste of my time and caused nothing but confusion. If I wanted to do any excursions, I would likely arrange with my hotel or via Viator. If you have pre-arranged transportation, follow the direction and walk straight to outside and meet your driver. These people can be a bit aggressive. You have to stand your ground, decline and keep walking.

The people that work the shops are aggressive and that sucks but it was by far one of the easiest airports to navigate and to get through security. We had to take a bus out to the plane and then stand in the heat while they halfass attempted to line people up for boarding as Southwest does and that sucked. Over all, not the most comfortable airport but super easy to navigate.

Upon landing, I wasn't a fan of going through immigration and customs. Leaving was better. Its a pretty small airport lots of wide open spaces and the layout was easy to get around. But there isn't much to do there, it has just a smattering of restaurants mostly fast food like subway, starbucks and panda express. They did have a sit down steakhouse in STK if you wanted to throw down on a steak dinner before flying out. All of the bars were closed when i went, so there wasnt much to do but hang out on the benches. Bright spot is that the convenience store sells beer, but the only water they have is Fiji water for $10 USD a bottle. A lot of the stores were closed alraedy when I got there at 430 pm. It's also a very hot airport, the AC isn't very strong ANOther brightside is that theres a pharmacy inside the airport so if you need to stock up on ozempic or anabolic steroids before you fly out you can get it right in the airport!

The Cabo airport has changed a lot over the past five years or so. The airport experience (checking in, security checks, and interior condition) was very good. The time is took us reach our gate from the time we arrived at the airport was very fast. We experience zero issues; everything was orderly and efficient. It should be noted we already had our boarding passes and did not check any luggage. There was plenty of seating, shopping experiences (although expensive) and food options (also expensive). The only negative was the food and drink prices. For example, a double shot margarita was $34 dollars at "Tequila Bar 1800." The fast food was also very expensive. Basically, the prices are even more than LAX. They need adjust these prices. We didn't see that many travelers sitting around and eating. I travel throughout Mexico several times a year and never experienced such offensive prices.

Don't you hate when they pull you aside and go through your suitcase for absolutely no reason at all? Cabo airport nowhere in the middle of nowhere it takes 45 minutes to get anywhere I love the duty free jobs! So much stuff to buy

Dates: Saturday, December 21st, 2024 Tuesday, December 24th, 2024 The hubby and I were in Cabo last month. I've been to this airport quite a few times, but it's been a few years since our last visit. This time, the people in the timeshare type area were super aggressive, so please ignore them if you pre-booked transport already. We booked a shuttle service online prior to our trip. While walking thru the area, a female approached us asking if we pre-booked transport. I typically just ignore them, but the hubs started talking to her. She said we needed to check in here. Typically that is not the case, so I told her I wanted to go outside first before checking in for the shuttle. But apparently you cannot leave this area and come back to check in? Shady sounding right?! I said we'd just go outside and call the service then. She was still very insistent that we check in here. Turns out, that was totally false. The shuttle service said they never have check in inside the airport. It's always outside. Glad I listened to my instincts. We left on Xmas eve, so quickly checked out the lounge before our flight. We were flying Alaska, so in Terminal 2. There was a VIP Lounge accessible thru Priority Pass. It was very bare bones since it was Christmas Eve. Limited drinks and food. We just grabbed a beverage and a few snacks. Otherwise there was a food court and a Starbucks close to our gate. This airport is fine, but the almost getting scammed part left a bad taste in my mouth. REVIEW #3662

My first time entering this airport was one for the books. Firstly, the bathroom is far from the gate after you arrive if you have to pee, do it on the plane. It is small and dirty. There were mosquitos on the wall. The lines were long. The line for customs was short. Once you pass customs, you have to go into a second line to show your declaration form and from there they might choose to go through your bags. MAKE SURE you have your declaration form from the airplane because there was none sitting around and they don't give you one when you get up to the person. American Airlines did not provide my flight with a form. The staff was rude and unhelpful. One person in my group had an iPad so all of our bags had to get checked. They open your bags and go through EVERYTHING! Underwear, everything. Some may open and close the bag while some workers over do it. My friend's bag was checked for over 10 minutes. The workers speak no English, do not explain what they are doing, and the crazy part is you can't have your phone out while they do it. I read stories about people getting their items stolen so when I took my phone out I got yelled at in Spanish by various people then I was kicked out of the room after I got my bag and couldn't wait for my friend. After all that madness there are two rooms you walk through that are full of people selling timeshares and excursions. Keep walking until you get outside and see the awnings with a bar. If you stop inside, they will hound you, lie to you, and try to get you to exit through a different door so they can sell you stuff, which is crazy that the airport allows that. I do not like how there are no seats inside the airport to wait. There are a few seats by the bar so you basically stand in the humidity and heat while waiting for your ride. We were all sweating because our ride was late. Departing wasn't bad. They offer various brands of alcohol for purchase. A few restaurants and a food court but everything is overpriced! $20 for a slice of pizza and a drink. No thanks. The workers were friendlier on this side. Two stars for departure. Zero stars for arrivals.

Ate lunch at STK Los Cabos while waiting for our flight. Service was good and attentive, cheeseburger and fries were good. Better than the fast food options in the airport but I thought it was overpriced. Three sandwiches with fries and three mineral waters with tip was $160.

SJD Airport is modern, clean, and pretty easy to navigate. Just recently came back from Cabo. Getting through immigration was quick and efficient, making the process stress-free. On the way back home, the VIP lounge is a great option for relaxing before your flight. It's stylish, comfortable, and with attentive service. Servers come directly to your seat to take orders from a small menu which includes drinks and small meals. The food is just okay (I tried the chicken fajitas, which were a bit dry, likely from sitting under a heat lamp), but the service and overall lounge experience more than make up for it.

Clean airport but unfriendly and presumably stressed staff. Avoid the 'Chocolate House' kiosk; a 2oz candy bag cost over $9. Their 'no refunds' sign is suspiciously covered with items. Do a quick conversion before you swipe your card!

Easy to check your bag in but once you get to security they are all LAZY and seem to think they are better than the travelers, lazy workers refused to manual inspect my film equipment resulting in all my work being ruined after it goes through X-Ray. and Gate 16 has broken glass. ghettoooo! not a good experience for me

This is the main airport for travelers coming in and out of Cabo. It's small and there are only two terminals but each of them has a lounge that Priority Pass members can use which is more than what I can say about bigger airports in the States. For those staying at a resort, pickups for transportation will be outside the airport at the shaded numbered umbrellas. While waiting, there are bars where you can kickstart your drinking and vacation. When you leave the airport, ignore the people trying to sell you tours or rides and just keep going forward. Going through security was pretty quick and after you go through the duty free shops, you can move toward your gate. Other than that it's a pretty standard airport with food court options and is well-kept.

Los Cabos airport is looking better each time I come back. I was just here last March with family. Likes: spacious, organized outside staff directing traffic, new image, new paint, clean, more food stores, more bathrooms, new charging stations, and weapons screening went well and quickly Dislikes: long walk to luggage claim area, 30 minute wait time for shuttle to car rental place, hounding time share people Nothing new with airport staff. Same.

0 stars if I could. We ordered drinks to pass some time for our flight and my mom tried to order wings. The employee Angelica came to tell us they didn't have wings so we said we didn't want them anymore. She wouldn't take no for an answer and we even asked for a refund because we thought she had charged us for the wings already since she was very pushy asking what flavor we wanted. So we said ok buffalo and it turned out that they never charged us for the wings in the first place. Do not eat or drink here they may try to scam you too. Go anywhere else.

Subject: Urgent Formal Complaint Regarding Harassment and Abuse at SJD - Los Cabos International Airport Dear SJD Authority, I am writing to express my strongest dissatisfaction and outrage regarding an incident that occurred on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at Los Cabos International Airport during the security baggage check. I was carrying a sealed 750 ml bottle of wine, which I understood to be within the permissible limit as per Mexican regulations. However, I was informed it was not allowed. While I complied and offered to dispose of it by opening and discarding the contents, the security personnel refused my request, harassed me, and verbally abused me in their language. They escalated the situation by threatening to call the police and forcing me to leave the airport to discard the bottle outside. To make matters worse, several other staff members joined in, including a female officer, who continued this unprofessional and hostile behavior. Despite my compliance and attempts to resolve the matter peacefully, I was subjected to intimidation, humiliation, and harassment by your staff. This treatment is not only unacceptable but also deeply distressing for any traveler who expects professionalism and respect from airport authorities. This appalling experience has left me with no desire to ever visit Mexico again. Furthermore, I will actively discourage my friends, colleagues, and the Indian community from traveling to Mexico to avoid facing similar abusive treatment. Such incidents tarnish Mexico's reputation as a tourist destination and reflect poorly on its travel industry. Additionally, I have taken photographs of some of the staff involved in this incident, which I am attaching for your reference (the guy in orange vest was harassing my family along with the lady standing right in front of the scanner in the last photo, in front of 2 years old). While I could not capture images of all individuals involved, these photos should assist in identifying those responsible for this disgraceful conduct. I demand an immediate investigation into this matter and expect appropriate disciplinary action against the personnel involved. Furthermore, I urge you to implement stricter training protocols for your staff to ensure professionalism and courtesy in dealing with passengers. If this matter is not addressed promptly and adequately, I will have no choice but to escalate this complaint further through international tourism boards and consumer protection agencies.

Just had lunch at STK got two small burgers side of fries and two drinks $140 US don't waste your time. Berger was dry the bloody Mary's were just OK but they said they used absolute what a big deal stay away from this place go to the food court

Of all the airports I've experienced so far in Mexico, I'd say this was probably the nicest, coldest (shout out the powerful AC), and comfortable airport with plenty of food options. I mean what other airport has an STK?? lol Arriving, getting through security and immigration took around 30 minutes. There's a couple different checkpoints before you can exit, so once you get through the immigration officers, you'll get in another line where they'll take your declaration paper and potentially search your bag. When you walk out, you'll see a bunch of people trying to sell you transportation. We had ours pre-planned, and headed to the designated pickup spot and got our ride within another 30 minutes. We stopped by the bar outside, it's American airport prices. $13 for a skinny can of topo chico strawberry guava, don't fall for it. Getting back for our return flight, we got through security in less than 10 minutes. They had a few fast food options, which we opted for but was average at best. The have a lounge which is like $55 a person, so if you have a long time to wait, that might be worth it. Overall, simple and comfy airport experience here.

Beware of a place called Pacific Grill located in the international terminal. We ordered some food and the waiter asked if we wanted water. We said sure fully realizing that there would likely be a charge for bottled water. There were no beverage (soft drink or water) prices on the menu. When our bill arrived they had charged us $20 for two 500ml Fiji Waters. The food was mediocre at best. A chicken Caesar Wrap, chicken quesadilla, chips and salsa along with our two waters a beer and soft drink came to $83 dollars US. A blatant ripoff. The fact that the price of the soft drinks and water is not on either the food or beverage menu says a lot about the poor management not to mention the sullen server we had to deal with. Do yourself and your wallet a favor and pass on this place. The airport should not put up with this type of nonsense. It leaves a bad taste (both literally and figuratively) in the tourists mouth. Nice way to end an otherwise fun trip to Cabo.

The Los Cabos International Airport is small but packed with shops and easy to access. Flights are generally on time, and service is friendly. They keep cleaners in the bathrooms thus the bathrooms are pretty spotless. Prices in stores are high as in any airport, but selections are plentiful, and you can get last-minute souvenirs. Plenty of travel and activity options are offered upon leaving the airport. Be sure to be discerning in pricing. Uber is available as well. The airport is about 20 minutes tops from most resorts/residences. They are professional and safe. My only issue was getting to the planes. They have you line up at the gate and then take shuttles to the plane due to height of planes and level of airport. The wait at the gate can be a little tight and not orderly.

Stay away from the Shark Cage. Unfortunately we arrived during a thunderstorm.we are waiting for our ride with SJD Taxi. Looks like they are on Mexican time!

Quick efficient airport. The immigration and customs lines moved fast. Only silliness was getting into a bus that drove 30 feet or so to drop us off at the terminal which left everyone scratching their head. One tip...make sure you have a car pre booked to avoid the hawkers outside.

"Security" is a cluster because the people are not trained, don't follow any sort of guidelines or common sense, are invasive, intrusive, and waste your time. -- unfortunately somewhat of an occurrence in Mexico.

This place is so fast.It took an hour just for checkin at another airport.But this airport took 10 minutes.

BE CAREFUL in the duty free shop, Terminal 1. A worker named Carina/Karina was completely a joke hustling my young daughter to buy a body spray that she tested twice. There was absolutely no sign saying "if you spray, you pay." This worker charged at my daughter as if she set her up to pay for this product. She made us feel so cheap. However this was a complete sham. Be weary and cautious.

Pretty new, large airport. It wasn't very crowded, and the restaurants closed fairly early accordingly.

Everything is nice and new! I love how the government is improving and updating how the WORLD flies into Cabo. HOWEVER, they have to FIX the fact that thousands of people ascend upon this airport all at ONE time. The lines into Customs are very efficient. And they've added automated checkpoints. That is where the efficiency stops. The luggage claim area is Way overloaded. It's unorganized and overcrowded. While thousands were waiting for their luggage, the workers in the Cash exchange office sat back and laughed at the chaos. Either way, it was probably comical to see people in chaos. My take on this, avoid travel on Saturday but still come to this beautiful country to enjoy their culture and the weather.

Most things here are RIDICULOUSLY priced. A Carl's Junior burger and some old/cold fries was over $20 USD.

Hate to say that this airport sucks. Both arrivals and departures. Upon arrival, literally the second you leave customs you'll be barraged with unauthorized vendors trying to scam you and trick you into a freaking timeshare seminar. Don't listen to them when they tell you that they are your ride or guide. They're not. Wonder why they are cash only? Don't talk to anyone until you get to the outside shuttle area with authorized transportation. Departing a few days later, the airport is underwhelming. Sure they have a great food court, but only one restaurant is open. It's not even that late. One star for the duty free shopping though! Got some chocolates and hot sauce. Yum!

Let's talk arrival and departure, Arrival: upon landing we were escorted from the tarmac to a shuttle bus that brought us to the inside gate. Shuttles moved quick and navigation was easy to immigration and baggage claim. Onto customs...this is one of the most DISORGANIZED lines I have ever seen at any major venue/building. They have about 2-3 employees attempting to navigate thousands of arriving passengers through a narrow passageway and back to one extended stanchioned line. The employees attempted to send people straight, left, or right, but it all circled back to the same spot. Needless to say, our group lost 15 minutes by going right (per employee) and ending back up in the same spot. Frustrating, but at least customs staff was decently kind. Outdoor bars are fun and plentiful, but be prepared to pay up for hyper-inflated drinks and food. 3 coronas, 3 patron shots, and 1 Long Island tea cost us $99 before tip. Departure: Check in was very slow as quite a few of their machines broke down and lines became congested. We ended up waiting 20 minutes in another line just to check 1 bag in. Digital infrastructure seems to be lacking in this area. As far as food options go, you have a wide variety from fast food (Carls, subway, Starbucks) to STK, Boa, and a few other restaurants I'm blanking out on. Prices are once again hyper-inflated and lines are long, but one cannot be a beggar at the airport. One more big critique, airport felt warm throughout. I didn't have a single carry on, but still found myself sweating from simply walking. Overall decent airport, nothing to brag home about, but definitely won't keep me away from returning to Cabo.
