Airports

Two airports serve the city of Puebla :

* Benito Juarez International Airport in Mexico City (MEX),
 located at two hours by bus from the city of Puebla and
* "Hermanos Serdan" Puebla Airport (PBC), located at 30 minutes from the UDLA
  campus and Cholula hotels by taxi.

Important: If you fly into Mexico City, we strongly recommend to take the bus to Puebla, which leaves right from the airport. Although flights do exist from Mexico City to Puebla, they are infrequent and waiting times often are longer than riding the bus, which is quite convenient.

The "Hermanos Serdan" Puebla Airport is convenient but fewer itinierary options are available.

Please let us know in advance about your arrival schedule so we can provide further assistance.

Buses from Mexico City to Puebla

"Estrella Roja" is the bus line that runs every 30 minutes between Mexico City's airport and Puebla. The last bus to Puebla departs at 11PM (see schedules at http://www.estrellaroja.com.mx/expreso.asp). "Estrella Roja" offers service to two terminals in Puebla: the CAPU (Central de Autobuses de Puebla) and the "4 Poniente." The "4 Poniente" terminal tends to be more convenient, as taxis are located a few meters from the bus arriving deck. The approximate cost for the bus ticket is $15 USD or $150 Mexican Pesos.

Taxis from Bus terminals to hotels

A taxi from the CAPU or 4 Poniente to downtown hotels in Puebla shouls cost around 40 pesos, to the Fiesta Americana hotel around 50 pesos and to Cholula around 70 pesos. should charge a maximum of $80 pesos. At the CAPU, you should buy a ticket from the authorized taxi booth (taxis autorizados) and give it to the driver. 14155583231082775383161 16283019383166794684905 55838214540286094112891 18643641938357483620502 408102618794786708640 745699188306485842603924
