what airport do i fly into?

There are three airport options to get to SMA: Leon (BJX) and Queretaro (QRO) are the most popular airport options for SMA travelers. Both airports have all major airlines flying in and out a few times per day, and both are roughly a 1.5 hour drive to SMA. Mexico City (MEX) is a roughly 3.5-hour drive to SMA - with no traffic. If you are planning to extend your trip and visit Mexico City, this is a great option, however, if you are just coming for the wedding, this will not be the easiest travel option.

There are no direct flights from Minneapolis. We encourage our guests to minimize their travel time by going through Dallas (American) or Houston (United) into Leon (BJX) or Queretaro (QRO).

what Days and flight times should i look for?

Traveling to SMA is a full day's journey, so we hope everyone takes advantage of the trip and makes it a long weekend! We suggest leaving your place of departure very early in the morning and arriving to SMA before sundown (approximately 6:00PM). On your return, we encourage taking a midday flight out and giving yourself plenty of time to get from SMA to the airport.

How do i get from the airport to SMA? 

Driving in Mexico is not for the faint of heart. We encourage our guests to use a shuttle service to get from the airport to SMA. The shuttle service that we recommend is Bajio Go. Please check the "Travel Updates" tab for up to date information on booking with Bajio Go. Remember to keep the drive-times in mind and to plan accordingly. Alternatively, your hotel might have a shuttle option, so you can always check with them.

The beauty of SMA is that it is predominantly a walking city. Once you are there, all you need are your walking shoes! The cityscape is very hilly and all the streets are cobblestoned, so remember to pack good walking shoes. Taxis in SMA are very easy to hail, but know that they only accept pesos. Uber is available in SMA.
