Cabo San Lucas Airport (SJD): Your Complete Arrival Guide

Which Airport Serves Cabo San Lucas?

Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is the only commercial airport serving the whole Los Cabos region — both San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas fly through it. It sits along the coastal corridor that connects the two towns, so no matter which one you're staying in, SJD is where your trip begins.

SJD Terminals and What to Expect on Arrival

SJD operates separate terminal facilities for domestic and international arrivals. After landing, international travelers clear immigration first, then head to baggage claim, followed by customs, and finally out to the ground transportation area outside the terminal.

Lines for taxis and walk-up transportation can be long during peak arrival windows. Pre-booking a transfer lets you skip that altogether and head straight to a reserved vehicle waiting for you.

Getting From SJD to Your Zone

San José del Cabo (downtown) is the closest zone to the airport. The Corridor (Hilton, Hyatt, Westin) stretches along the coast between the airport and Cabo San Lucas. Cabo San Lucas (Medano, Marina) sits at the far end of the corridor, and the Pacific Zone (Diamante, Quivira) is beyond Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific side.

A private transfer goes straight to your hotel. A shared shuttle makes stops at other hotels along the way. If you're deciding between the two, compare private vs. shared, or see Cabo San Lucas zone pricing if that's your destination.

ZonePrivate (from)Shared (per person)
San José del Cabo (downtown)$55$14
Corridor (Hilton, Hyatt, Westin)$89$20
Cabo San Lucas (Medano, Marina)$79$18
