Bus Transfers To and From Tijuana Airport

After arriving at Tijuana International Airport, please make sure to collect your entire luggage from the baggage claim area before proceeding to the chosen means of transfer. Transfer options available are rental cars, taxis and buses or private transfers/shuttles.

The airport is a bi-national airport with the Main Terminal (Terminal 1) and the airport located in Mexico and a passenger terminal called Cross Border Terminal, CBX for short, on the American side. A pedestrian Border Bridge connects the two terminals.

The CBX Terminal handles check-ins and processes arriving passengers from and to the US which means it has US Customs and Immigrations, but there are no flights departing or arriving on the US side. Bus transfers from or to CBX are listed separately below.
