Leon Guanajuato Airport

A very easy to use and convenient airport. Arrival was quick and easy to pre-pay for taxi to Guanajuato - 360 pesos was the cost. It's less than 30 minutes to Guanajuato. We arrived at 9:45 for 12:05 departure - much earlier than necessary. No line for CO check-in and no line at security. The snack bar was affordable and there are a couple of decent shops. Even though the airport has jetways they apparently don't go low enough for the regional jets that provide most service so you have to walk outside. Just before boarding there was an additional pat-down security check.

The service to get from airport to the centro district to Guanajuato is too expensive! No options. Just get on the taxi. Last fall it was around $37 usd. This is an 18 mile trip which takes 20 minutes. The bus from Guanaujato to San Miguel is about a one hour drive and cost about $8 usd. There should be alternatives at your airport. Maybe a bus into town?

I've flown in and out of BJX a half dozen times and have no problems. Take along a book or knitting as there are only a couple of souvenir shops (but they are colorful and reasonable). My destination has been San Miguel de Allende the art colony that's popular with US citizens).

This is a small and nice airport. I've landed and departed from this airport before and it has changed a lot. I don't know why it is called Leon Airport if it is closer to Silao Gto. I landed there a few months ago my destination was Romita Gto my mother's hometown. This airport is very convenient for us since it is only about 25-30 mins away from Romita. Also this airport is not very far from Guanajuato city. I recommend people to visit Guanajuato this is perhaps the most European style city in Mexico.
