From Merida to Cancun Airport: travel tips
Airports might be stressful, but your transfer doesnât have to be! Follow these tips for your transfer from Merida to the Cancun Airport for a great end to your Mexican vacation!
Donât book your airport transfer at the last minute
Merida is far from the Cancun Airport, and some taxi companies wonât want to make the long journey. By booking your transfer at least a few days in advance, you will have peace of mind to enjoy your vacation. With Daytripâs user-friendly booking system and 24/7 customer support, you can schedule your transfer with confidence.
### Pack liquids and electronics last
The airport security process regarding liquids and electronics has been globally standardized. When packing your carry-on, put your electronics and the clear bag with your liquids in easily accessible pockets or at the top of your luggage. Getting quickly through security means more time for last-minute shopping or relaxing in the lounge!
### Plan your travel outfit ahead of time
Wear a comfortable outfit for the long car ride and the flight. Change your outfit when you get to the airport if youâd like that fresh and clean feeling before take-off.
Many airport security lines require you to remove your shoes. It is best to wear comfortable sneakers or have a pair of socks to put on when you remove your sandals. No one wants to be barefoot in an airport!
### Pack a car charger for your phone
Our phones are our lifelines when traveling! Youâre never too far from a great photo opportunity on vacation, and ipads and e-readers are game-changers for long flights. Keep your devices as charged as possible with a charging cable, car charger, and a fully-charged, portable battery pack. The Cancun Airport has charging ports and electrical sockets for travelers, but bringing your own gives you the flexibility to sit anywhere.
How to get from Merida to Cancun Airport
To travel from Merida to the Cancun Airport, youâll travel along the 180 and 180D highways for approximately 210 miles (337 km). While a few mass transit options are available, it is recommended for visitors to use private transportation for speed and convenience.

### From Merida to Cancun Airport on the Maya Train
The Maya Train is an ongoing project that aims to connect major cities, airports, and resorts on the Yucatan Peninsula with a train network; however, it is expensive and unreliable. Tickets for the train cost almost as much as a private driver but without the guarantee of arriving in a timely manner.
Things to do when you get to Cancun Airport
With your transfer from Merida to the Cancun Airport behind you, all thatâs left to do is find your plane! When you arrive at your terminal, go to the check-in area that matches your airline. The Cancun Airport has electronic kiosks for quick check-in and luggage drop for most airlines.
After youâve cleared the security line, fill up your water bottle, grab a snack, and freshen up before your flight. There are several lounges available for travelers from certain airline or credit card rewards programs, so take advantage of the opportunity if you qualify. For other lounges, a flat fee will cover your entry.
Check your departure gate on the electronic boards regularly, as sometimes the gates do change at the last minute.

âI used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.â
âWe were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, weâd especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.â

âWe absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. Itâs worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. Itâs 5 star rating is well deserved.â
âWe traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortableâ
âGonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.â
âWe were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.â
âUsed the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.â
âUsed Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.â
âWe did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.â
âWe used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.â
