Planning a trip to Mexico? Try the quick and easy CBX Cross Border Xpress. CBX is an enclosed pedestrian bridge exclusive for Tijuana International Airport passengers crossing the U.S./Mexico border. Spanning 390 feet, the CBX skywalk is the first ever to connect a facility in the U.S. directly into a foreign airport terminal.

Passengers check in on the U.S. side of the U.S./Mexico border, walk the pedestrian/passenger bridge across the border, clear Mexican immigration and customs, and catch their flights at the Tijuana International Airport. Passengers arriving in Tijuana are equally able to cross the pedestrian/passenger bridge into the Otay Mesa passenger terminal, clear U.S. passport controls and U.S. Customs, and exit on the U.S. side. You will find Starbucks and a food truck patio at the terminal. Parking, shuttles, Uber, Lyft, taxis and car rental are all available as well. [Coupon on page 49]
