Los Cabos Airport with children
The airport is 11 kilometres from San Jose del Cabo, so the ride in is long enough for a child to get restless. A snack and water within reach, and the transport information ready before you land, make the difference.
Leave the passports and the children's documents in your carry-on bag, not in checked luggage, so you have them at immigration.
Plan your stop at Los Cabos Airport
Check with the airline and the airport's own site before you travel: the terminals, the airlines and the arrival procedures change. And check with the embassy or consulate about the documents your family needs for the entry rules of every country on your route.
