¿They already knew this airport? Cuéntame qué I looked like youó on the comments.
last year I flew from Aifa to Quito for the Cup, for an unbeatable price. The airport is not as far as it seems, but it lacks connectivity. Inside the airport many services are missing, for example of restaurant, there wasn't even subway, and just an exchange house. The only place to eat was some cakes (type empanadas) that they finished early and I was left without lunch. With time I hope to grow in services
Thanks for your experience.! How long did it take to the airport?
From the center of Mexico City (Angel of Independence area) to AIFA on a Tuesday morning, I take 40 minutes to arrive in a shared minivan service (for about 7 Dollars), as I know now there are more times to arrive and there are already more food offers (including Subway 🙂
Excellent information!
vans depart from the Angel de la Independencia in CDMX, on 40 minutes we arrived at the airport. Unfortunately there were few hours, I know that now there are more cumshots (Departures) towards the Aifa, costs like 8 Usd (150 Mexican pesos). The airport was very empty,the good thing for the competitive prices, as some people told me, they dared to fly for the first time, that is excellent news. The airport is not aesthetically beautiful but I hope it will be functional.
very good information, Thank you.
