General Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport

Tijuana operates from a single main terminal with domestic and international sections. The airport is compact with landside check-in and an airside departures area; many airlines use remote stands. The facility is notable for the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) pedestrian terminal - a controlled bridge that links the airport directly to a terminal on the U.S. (San Diego) side for passengers holding CBX tickets.

The airport is immediately adjacent to the U.S. border; travel times are short to central Tijuana and to San Diego via the CBX bridge.

• Cross Border Xpress (CBX): A paid pedestrian bridge for ticketed passengers that connects the airport to a terminal on the U.S. side; purchase a CBX ticket in advance and have travel documents ready.
• Taxis / shuttles: Authorized taxis and hotel shuttles serve Tijuana city and nearby destinations; expect 10-20 minute rides to most central locations.
• Driving / parking: The airport has short-term and long-term parking; driving into Tijuana requires awareness of local traffic and parking rules.
• Public transport: Local buses connect the wider region; schedules are variable so confirm locally.

Allow extra time for border/immigration formalities when planning connections across the border.

The terminal has a range of passenger services including cafés, duty-free shopping and retail in the departures area. CBX provides dedicated processing for passengers using the cross-border bridge. Wi‑Fi is available, and basic lounges and business services are present - check airline access rules. Accessibility services are available; request assistance in advance.

There are many hotels both in Tijuana and immediately across the border in San Diego. For international-brand bookings use the parent chain sites:

• marriott.com - for multiple brands and the Cross Border San Diego area.
• hilton.com - for Hilton properties in the San Diego/Tijuana region.

For short layovers to/from the U.S., hotels and airport-area accommodations on the U.S. side (San Diego) are usually the most convenient; some offer airport shuttles or are within easy access of the CBX bridge.
