Be prepared to walk outside while the airport is under construction - and the interterminal shuttle fills fast so get there and in line quickly. (International Arrivals are at the far side of terminal 2- Southwest flies domestically out of Terminal 1)
JoseFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2026
Arrive early to Cabo airport, long lines for American airlines
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Jan 2026
Be sure to bring all of your own food. You’ll starve if you rely on the airlines.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Feb 2025
Sacramento has a “two step” process with retrieving luggage on inbound flights. Be aware adds about 45 min to your wait.
BrianFlew with Southwest-Nov 2024
One friend that lives in San Diego saved a lot of money booking his flight by driving to Tijuana first then flying from there. Uber is there now and it’s much cheaper than the shuttles.
CaitlynFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2024
Airport in Cabo does not have drinking fountains or water bottle filling stations so be ready to buy water. Be ready for a long line at US customs and boarder patrol for US citizens just because of the sheer volume of people coming back from vacation.

5 out of the last 6 flights i have taken with Alaska in the last six weeks have been problematic in one way or another. And to top it off, now you do not get points for super saver tickets purchased.

5 out of the last 6 flights i have taken with Alaska in the last six weeks have been problematic in one way or another. And to top it off, now you do not get points for super saver tickets purchased.

Flight crew was nice and exit row was comfy. Entertainment on flight was and I used the outlet. Also the new phone flip down thing is nice.

Attentive and kind staff. Decent boarding for wheelchair bound partner, off boarding is a little lengthy due to waiting for everyone to deplane before aisle chair can arrive. Not sure if there’s a better option.

Several delays without clear communication on timing. Very late beverage service during the flight.

4 hour delays. Poor communication. Loading plane after 3 hour delay and then sitting on the tarmac in a closed airport for another hour. Poor communication was biggest issue.

We were asked to be flexible and change our date and flight for $25. We met guests who were paid much more. Our seats assigned were the last row backing to the wonderful smell & sounds of the restroom. People waiting in line to use it as well. Further, we could not use the $50 to pay for our $120 baggage fees.

Boarding process was familiar but in the San Jose del Cabo airport there was no visible indication of which group was boarding and the sound system was unintelligible. A minor thing, and easy to fix.

Great flight attendants, very friendly. The flight was on time and boarding was easy.

Alaska was a fair airline to fly. Lots of fees to upgrade (better seats, refundable tickets, baggage fees etc) but these are pretty standard with all airlines. Oh and the seats are NOT comfortable for plus sizes, but I've found that true for all airlines except Southwest. The baording process could have been more organized but since we all have assigned seats I guess it doesn't matter when you get on the plane. In flight entertainment includes free wi-fi and lots of movie options to play on your own device. Not bad.

Bad. Flight was delayed over 2 hours and the plane was sitting on the tarmac the entire time. We received no explanation for why the flight was delayed.

The entire crew were wonderful but 1 flight attendant stood out with his sense of humor on the microphone. I told him as much as I exited the plane.

They did not fix the wifi that they knew was an issue on an earlier flight. The flight was filled with business people that were clearly frustrated not being able to work. That can’t happen on a 3 1/2 hour flight. Would rather have been delayed a bit.

The WiFi did not work three hours of productivity lost. 15 people from the firm were on the flight. Loss of revenue

Very rude stewardess; there was a senior citizen woman next to me who asked the stewardess for help getting her purse out of the overhead bin, and it was as though she asked the stewardess for $1M . . . . I was shocked how rude that stewardess was. The stewardess also refused to get the senior citizen woman a drink about half way thru the flight, telling her that we were almost landing . . . . that stewardess made my flight (and in particular the flight of the senior citizen next to me) very uncomfortable

Why does southwest often change gates and load late? Multiple flights recently have been waiting on crew to arrive or sometimes even the plane itself. There were a lot of people expressing the same frustrations as us about constantly loading late - but at least arrival times weren't too far off..

Great plane, great attendants,great flight crew,on time. Wonderful flight home..

First time I’ve ever missed a flight and it was an international flight.. Southwest put me on the next flight and it was the best experience possible.

Three delays that got us home hours later than expected.

Everything about our flight was good except for the boarding experience in Mexico. From checking in to boarding was a disaster for us even though our seats wasn't bad.

I paid $50 for early bird checkin and it was a jungle boarding process.

Flew in first class. It received service and attention that would be considered poor even by economy standards.

The internet was spotty and I was unable to watch any movies on my iPad; the flight was fine otherwise

The plane was very warm the entire time, despite my vents being open. Additionally, we didn't have internet on our personal devices

Flight was suspended mid air for over 1 hour and it was late

Very convenient considering that is a non-stop flight, but the Aeromexico still has old model planes, so the entertainment was very poor and the space for carry-on luggage was very limited.

Flight from MEX to ATL had to divert to Tampa. When we got off the plane, there were non directions on what to do. Nearly 30 minutes just standing around. Finally told to go through security with no boarding passes, and turned away. Then told to to go back. Took forever to leave Tampa for ATL. Missed my connection to Harrisburg.

Every single flight that we got on was delayed by several hours or more. I honestly didn’t think we would get out of Atlanta because our flight was supposed to leave at 7:59 and it kept getting kicked back further and further. Delta stands for Don’t Ever Leave The Airport!

The crew was amazing; Von, Vera and Guadalupe were very friendly and attentive throughout the entire flight. They were friendly and welcoming to everyone. A solid and dedicated team for sure!

The checkpoint hornets are always looking fhrough Americans' luggage keeping what they deem impassible! Grrrrr!

Everything was great. The big planes could still stand to have a bit more leg room. Crew was amazing!!

The rear seat on the second leg should be illegal. There’s no way you should make somebody sit that close to the washroom. Very awkward.

Lounges are packed and very poor, food is really bad, for business class in an airline is well below expectations

Mean flight attendant. I wanted to reuse my plastic cup, but he (Matthew) said he can't for safety. I then said "I don't want water then" and he poured me a glass. I hope Matthew gets herpes and spends the rest of his life poor, lonely, and homeless.

I just think it’s unfortunate that Airlines have completely abandoned the idea of serving any kind of decent or even real food on flights, not even on a four hour flight!? Those days are gone, I guess.

Both flights delayed. 2nd flight over 3 hours late mechanical issues

Flight was delayed 45 minutes because originating flight was coming from Newark. No complimentary snacks were offered on this 5+ hour flight. No screens for the flight, but movies offered if you had already downloaded the United app (which I hadn't on my ipad). No USB ports, only a flimsy plug-in port near the bottom of the seat that was hard to see and kept coming unplugged.

Excellent all round, first time flying United. App is very helpful.

The ground crew in Houston were not friendly. The security staff were very rude and reflected an attitude of superiority with rude remarks.

It started with multiple delays, cancellations, re booking, 5 hour lay over and finally on a plane from Chicago to Pittsburgh. Gates, times, etc were changed multiply times. Once on the plane, staff was fine, but built in tv did not work and could not even turn it off. Light at eye level the entire trip, so sleeping was near impossible. No snacks or drinks given.

If United expects people to use their own devices for entertainment they should put charging outlets in each seating area. I arrived with 14%battery power. That is not good when you arrive anywhere and need to communicate for transportation.

Didn't make it back on American Airlines due to a maintenance issue. The communication and updates were terrible. I ended up returning on Aero Mexico which had a much nicer aircraft with a large entertainment screen with movies and shows AND they had a nice inflight meal. That was a treat after being delayed 26 hours! I think some additional flight miles, or something should be offered for that long of a delay ---it was not pleasant at all---very physical and emotional experience.

A chaotic and uncomfortable experience from start to finish. The boarding process was a disaster; despite group numbers, it was a free-for-all that the staff failed to manage (especially after group 5). Once on board, the "entertainment" was non-existent. There are no seatback screens, and the mobile app selection is incredibly thin. The hardware is severely dated. My seat had zero cushioning left—it felt like sitting on a hard board for the entire flight—and the legroom was cramped. To make matters worse, the bathroom was repulsive, with toilet paper, soiled paper towels and liquid/pee all over the floor. When I did interact with the crew, they provided the absolute bare minimum and made me feel like an inconvenience for asking for anything. Avoid this flight if you can.

We changed our flight because of weather. Unfortunately we were on hold for over an hour, but since we were 5 people who all booked individually, we felt more comfortable doing it with an agent. It all worked out in the end.

I think we deserve more than 25% refund for losing first class seats when having to reschedule flight due to weather.

When I got to the waiting area, it was full but when the time came to board, rgete was no plane. The women where you would show your ticket, gave the news saying there was a maintenance problem and that it be an extra half hour wait. We never did see the plane but ultimately, Noone ever saw the plane because there was a fire on one engine. Needless to say, the wait time before it was announced what really happened, was a few hours. Many, many missed their plane transfer because they entered their first train. Also, the electronic info panels up on the different wall for all to see the status of each flight, never stated anything having to do with the long, long hold up. Many people had major problems because they had to swith planes during their trip and that never happened...

We had a 2 hour delay that impacted our comanions further travel. I have a feeling AA knows there is a problem at the Cabo airport and does not account for that.

flight was good until we arrived at cmh ten minutes early but then sat on tarmac for twenty minutes because a plane was at our gate, so we had to wait despite the pilot tellling us that 3 other gates were open.

My flight was delayed four hours without explanation. Gate crew seem to avoid interactions with passengers and we’re not in attendance until flight finally boarded

Having issues traveling with AA for last two years, became a huge gamble

Couldn’t get on internet this trip. On way out I was fine but on way back I couldn’t get it. Also one of our bags did not make it to final destination
