    I went through customs and migration yesterday and it was pretty much the worst experience I have ever had. They checked the luggage of everyone by hand and and looked at all items, touched everything etc. Customs were yelling at me for no reason. The migration process was a nightmare. I had to wait 3 hours in a q and the officer didn't understand a single word of english. I endes up getting 10 days even though my flight back goes in 35 days.

    The Cancun airport has 4 terminals. I traveled Air Canada in Oct 2023 which uses Terminal 3 and Yes they have the E-gates. WestJet uses terminal 4 and Yes it too has E-gates. Both Terminals #3 and #4 take you to different Exits, but YOU ARE IN CANCUN MEXICO Yahoo. Ready to Vacation away the hours. Which Terminal are you referring to in this Video. Thanks for the Video It was well done.

    If if not traveling at peak times. Still don't check a bag?

    • @AlvarezAbroad
      @AlvarezAbroad  Месяц назад

      I don't like to check bags unless it's necessary. It's one more thing to worry about and it slows you down. It's always up to you but I just wanted to keep you informed.

    To take alchol from cancun. Is it better to buy alcohol at the duty free or at one of the stores before you get to the airport?

    • @AlvarezAbroad
      @AlvarezAbroad  Месяц назад

      When you buy alcohol from the store you have to declare it at customs and pay taxes. Plus you have to put it in your checked bag. You cannot take it on the plane with you, it will not pass through security. Duty free has no taxes and it has already passed through security. Personally, if the alcohol is cheaper at the store and you already have a checked bag then buy it at the store but if not then buy at duty free. Hope this helps

      I'll be 100% honest with you and tell you that I have not rented a car in Cancun before. I cannot in good faith recommend a service if I personally have not used it before. I wouldn't want to mislead any of my viewers. Sorry I couldn't be much help with recommendations.

  • @christo2333
    @christo2333 6 месяцев назад

    Kind of vague. It would be nice, for instance, if you told us HOW early we need to get to the airport if we are flying out of Mexico. 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours. Just saying plan for it taking longer is meaningless.

    • @AlvarezAbroad
      @AlvarezAbroad  6 месяцев назад +2

      The reason why I didn't give an exact time is because it will be different for every individual. It can change from the season, to the day of the week, to the time of day. Even to the mode of transportation you're using. It all depends. Ask your driver as they will be more aware of the current drive time to the airport. Hope this helps.

    How can i book a shuttle online? Can u plz share a few genuine websites?

    • @AlvarezAbroad
      @AlvarezAbroad  6 месяцев назад +1

      I would recommend you use a service like viator or trip advisor to book your shuttle as they are trusted websites and you can read the reviews. I also linked the website for the bus in the description if you want to use the ADO bus instead. I hope this helps.

    Going to Cancun in mid April and I must say this video has been pretty helpful. I had 1 question: is the ADO terminal at the airport going downtown hard to find? Cheers

    • @AlvarezAbroad
      @AlvarezAbroad  6 месяцев назад +1

      Not at all. If (like me) you're coming from the USA, you'll arrive at terminal 3. In the video at 2:53, you'll see me walk all the way to the ADO bus stand where the busses leave. Directly opposite of that is the booth where you buy the tickets. It's visible at 2:59 in the video.

    Are there any entry fees when entering Mexico ?

    • @AlvarezAbroad
      @AlvarezAbroad  5 месяцев назад

      There are no fees right now per se. At the airport they do have a so-called "visitax" but it's not really enforced. If you book a resort they will charge you a "tourism tax" AKA resort fee, for the room so keep that in mind.

    Thank you for the info.
    1) What do you mean by "external" rental car companies?
    2) Are passports stamped if using the E-Gates?

    • @AlvarezAbroad
      @AlvarezAbroad  6 месяцев назад +1

      1) Do not rent from any of the rental companies at the airport itself. It is better to go with a company that is not affiliated with the airport.
      2) No they are not stamped (sad if you like to collect the stamps in your passport like I do)
      I hope this cleared things up.
