Arriving/Departing the Cozumel Airport - A Guided Tour

[deborahdelamar]

One more update deserving its own post:

The Value Drugstore has closed. No more 3-1-1 baggies for purchase, no more price competition re snack food (this was the cheapest place in the airport for chips, etc., though still airport pricing), no more emergency band aids and such and...oh yeah...what to do about last minute DRUGS?!

Just got back from Coz. Our biggest hassle was the immigration wait at the airport. We stood in line over 90 minutes just to get our passports stamped and we weren't at the end of the line. Since no one else has commented on this, I assume this is not typical??

I once got there on the third of four planes to arrive very close together, and I stood in line literally (and I mean literally) longer than was our plane ride from Houston. It doesn't happen that often, but it happens.

Just an FYI..I arrived and did not want to pay a premium and wait for the sardine vans. After sitting for a long time it felt good to walk a bit. We walked out to the circle and turned right and were immediately picked up! 12 pesos for the two of us to BA..speaking spanish might have helped with the rate?

We were at the hotel an hour before the rest of the group but YMMV.

Twelve dollars, maybe? I doubt you got a cab ride from the airport to Blue Angel for less than a dollar.

Give it a little more time, Sue. Construction in departures area continues.

Air conditioning was redone & it's c-c-cold in there -- very cold at the Gate 6 end: American Airlines & Maya Air. On Saturday, even the Air Canada passengers at Gate 3 were complaining. I asked that the temp be raised a bit but they said that it's computer controlled & they couldn't change it. Also, all airport clocks (monitors) were about 30 minutes ahead of real time all weekend...TIM
