If you have been recently- how much time did it take you to get through the airport ticketing, TSA and customs at the Cancun airport? Trying to pick flight times home.
Thanks!

We were there about 2 weeks ago. First of all you go to ticketing and TSA no customs when leave. It really depends on the time of day, and your airline. We got to the airport about 8:30 AM, we were flying AA first class- no line, then TSA. We were through it all in about 30 minutes. They tell you to be there 3 hrs in advance!

We typically get there two hours or so early. We're A-List on Southwest so we get through check-in faster than most people. Security is usually quick in Cancun relative to US airports, at least in Terminal 4 where Southwest is.

We usually spend about an hour or so at one of the airport clubs that we get membership to through AMEX.

We just came back from Cancun Sunday after Thanksgiving. Lines at Terminal 4 were longest at airport carrier check in, some were longer than others, but it moved along. There were no lines at airport security and we walked right up. From curbside drop off to past security was about 45 minutes.
