Travel options
Cancun International Airport (25 minutes from the venue) offers direct scheduled services from most major North American cities on a wide variety of airlines.
For scheduled access to Cancun from Europe or the rest of the world, the best option is to fly to a major US airport and connect to one of the direct flights.
There are many charter flight and low-cost carrier options from North America and Europe to Cancun. Contact your local travel agent to find out about charter flights.
If you are travelling from somewhere other than The Americas, then try to include a Saturday night in your stay in Cancun to significantly reduce your airfare.
