Tijuana International Airport Transfers

Tijuana International Airport is a unique binational airport with the airport and all that is included in Mexico, including the Main Terminal, just south of the border with the United States, except for one of the terminals that is located in the US, just north of the border. The terminal on the American side is called CBX (Cross Border Xpress) and the two terminals are connected via a pedestrian bridge across the border. The bridge is 390 foot/120 meter long and it takes roughly 15-30 minutes to cross it, depending on the season.

As the two terminals are located in different countries there are also two different sets of transfers to and from the airport.
