 Transportation

 

The airport is located about 24 km from downtown Monterrey. Driving time generally ranges between 30 and 50 minutes depending on local traffic and your destination within the metropolitan area.

Public Transit Bus (Ruta Aeropuerto - Y Griega)

An affordable urban bus route links the airport terminal area directly to the Y Griega station on Line 1 of the Metrorrey metro system. Tickets cost roughly $15 to $20 MXN per trip and can be paid when boarding or via transit cards.

Shared Shuttles & Point-to-Point Minibuses

Ride-Sharing Apps (Uber / DiDi)

Ride-hailing apps operate at the airport. Passenger pickup is conducted at designated curbside zones outside the terminal exits (primarily outside Terminal A). Passengers should confirm the pickup spot and estimated fare within the app before meeting the driver.

For a hassle-free, comfortable ride directly to your hotel, office, or residence, you can arrange a private chauffeured transfer in advance. Your driver will meet you at the terminal exit holding a sign with your name. You can book this service via platforms such as Civitatis.

Transportation Tips to/from the airport

Some of these tips may seem obvious, but they are worth keeping in mind when traveling to or from the airport, especially if you are using public transportation.
 
 1 - To the airport: leave a little earlier than usually recommended. If you take a taxi or a private car service, allow for rush hour traffic, demonstrations, strikes or events that could delay your trip. It always helps to check the local news before you leave.
 
If you book a shared shuttle, keep the company's contact number handy in case the pickup is late. These services usually confirm a scheduled pickup time in advance.
 
If you use public transportation (bus or train), check the schedules (weekends and holidays usually have less frequent service), whether you need to transfer, and how to pay the fare (a transit card, or cash to the driver). These details seem obvious, but knowing them ahead of time can save you from a delay that could cause problems.
 
If you drive a rental car to the airport, check where to return it. Many airports have a dedicated rental car return area.
 
 2 - From the airport: this part is less stressful, since there is no risk of missing a flight. At worst, you will reach your hotel or meeting point a little later than planned.
 
Once you leave the plane, collect your baggage and complete any required arrival procedures. Then follow the signs for ground transportation or ask airport staff.
 
Check bus and train schedules in advance if you arrive late at night, since not all services run 24 hours. The same applies to taxis. If you plan to use a ride-hailing app such as Uber, have it ready on your phone to contact the driver.
 
If you booked a private transfer, a driver will usually be waiting for you with a sign. If you are renting a car, booking in advance gives you more peace of mind. Rental counters are usually located in the arrivals hall.
