Transfer between flights
While Cancún is not typically a transfer airport, the large number of flights here means that transfers can take place, especially from domestic flights within Mexico to international flights or vice versa.
Connecting at the same terminal
If you don't need to change terminals during your transfer, you will always need to go through immigration on arrival from an international flight, collect your luggage, re-check it in and go through security back to the departure transit area.
If you are only connecting flights within Mexico, you do not have to leave the transit area at all and do not go through any screening.
Transfer between terminals
When transferring between terminals, you must always leave the transit area as there is no connection between terminals on the tarmac.
On the other hand, a free shuttle bus runs approximately every 20 minutes through the outdoor public area, stopping at all terminals.
