Traveler Tip: There is a binational bus called Transborde. It’s really convenient and will take you from EP airport to downtown EP and cross into Juarez airport 🙂
If you happen to arrive at the time to catch the bus within minutes otherwise it is not time efficient. It is around the same price to Uber from El Paso international to the port of entry walk across the border and then get an Uber on the Juarez side to Juarez airport. Pro tip: request your uber right around half way across the bridge and your Uber will be there waiting by the time you walk across.
Also, the downtown port of entry in El Paso is the furthest away from the Juarez airport. Cordova or better known as Puente Libre and the Zaragoza port of entry are your best bet to get across quicker if you’re in a time constraint.
I found Transborde website and called them but the person who answered does not speak English and I don’t speak Spanish. I want to ask questions below: -Do I need to make reservation in advance? -which station/address do I need to take the Transborde bus that will take me to Juarez airport El Paso?
My wife is from EP and I've been there many times. Spanish is so important there and You mention you don't speak it. I think that would make your life much easier living there. Probably lots of options to learn there locally.
When we move to El Paso. Good idea. Booked a direct S J cal to SJ de Cabo for 2 for 1200 We had the 12 hr day of travel. No fun. Our last trip. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Great video!...Wife and I just took a trip to Cancun from Juarez Airport. We were planning to take a taxi from the bridge to airport, but ended up driving my car there instead. Tickets were only $115 round trip with a 2 hour layover in Mexico City.
One thing I didnt hear them say is the traveler permit you need to get at the bridge or at the airport..if your stay is less then 7 days its free, if its longer then 7 days its going to cost you 638 pesos, about 33 us dollars, and its good for 6 months I think, but when you return you must turn it in at the airport...mexican nationals go thru the right and non mexican nationals go thru the left to turn in the permit.
Hey Cesar, you are 100% correct. Leah and I found out the hard way about that one. We had to pay the 638 peso fine. I'm going to update the description of the video to include that.
@@ennydarwins4281 We travel to Puerto Vallarta this way frequently. We usually get our visa in advance of our air travel at either the free bridge or at Santa Teresa (San Jeronimo). We have had situations where there were no officials at the booth in the airport to either provide or receive our paperwork. Going this week for just a one week trip and are thinking we will risk it and get our visas at the airport...
Thank you for the information...we are from Cruces...and we will across the border next month to Juarez airport to go to Merdia too!! Only question will a passport card be sufficient to fly or will we need the book?? Thanks again
Here is a website I found for one of the most popular airplanes in Mexico! If you click on the "Mexico" drop down it shows a list of what they require - Hope this helps! cms.volaris.com/en/travel-info/before-your-flight/travel-documents-and-requirements/
Do you know if you can get the FMM permit a day in advance at the border? Our flight leaves super early and we didn't want to chance being late to get it at the airport as I hear the lines get very long sometimes.
With our phone plan they told us to restart our phones once we crossed over. We also had to walk a little bit away from the actual crossing to get service!
I live in El Paso and plan on flying out of Juarez to Puerto Vallarta this summer. How do you plan on getting back to El Paso on the return trip? I'd like to take an Uber to the bridge but I don't know what destination to put into the Uber app. Is there an address to use? Hope this makes sense!
I know that El Paso has three different ports of entry - Paso Del Norte, Stanton and Zaragoza. We were able to do a quick google search for the one we wanted and the address popped up on there. Hope that helps!
It's cheaper for sure. John, have you received your real estate license in New Mexico? Is it more cost effective to live in NM or TX? My wife' family is in Chihuahua, Mexico. We really need to look at moving somewhere closer than Phoenix. The 12 hour drive is killing the amount of time we can spend with family. Her mom is 77 and not doing well right now. We drove(Thru Santa Theresa, NM) Crossed the border and Mexican customs in less than 30 mins.(Extremely rare!) Would love to hear your ideas as we'd like to make the move soon possibly NE or West El Paso or the Las Cruces area. Thanks!

Hello. I’m leaving on a flight soon from Juarez to Cancun. I heard there is a form I will need as a US Citizen and that some people go the day before to get it. I don’t know what it is. Is it something I can get at the airport the day of?
I went a day before to get mine. I heard that sometimes those forms aren't available at airport, so better to be prepared. Don't forget to go to Xcaret park in Playa de Carmen....better than Disneyland!!
Hello Jennifer, I believe you are talking about the travelers Permit. We were able to get ours the day of. You can get them at the border crossing or at the airport!
Thank you for the information. I am planning to go to Cancun through Juarez with my family (wife and two kids). We live in Denver and will fly El Paso. The reason we choose to fly out of Juarez is no Covid test required. And the ticket is also cheaper from Juarez to Cancun. I have questions below and appreciate if anyone can provide some answer/guidance: -What is the safest mean of transportation (and not expensive) to get to Juarez airport from El Paso airport for a family with two kids? And the return trip from Juarez airport to El Paso airport? -Is FMM required? When do I fill out the FMM form and how much for each person? -I heard the Mexican immigration officer may arbitrarily decide and stamp the length of stay on the FMM form. Anyone has ever experienced given the shorter time stay period in your Mexico destination place than you hotel booking and return flight schedule? It will surely mess up mu itinerary and I will need to book another ticket back which will be costly. -is it safe to travel from Juarez airport? This should have been my first question. Thank you,
Thank you for watching! We took an Uber to the airport from the border and it was very easy and safe, you just will need phone service to be able to get the Uber which can be expensive depending on your phone plan. Someone also pointed out in the comments below that they have a Bionational bus that will take you from the El Paso Airport through to the Juarez airport. I haven't done a lot of research on that but it could be worth it to check that out as well! And yes, you would need the Travelers Permit, you should be able to get it at the bridge while crossing or at the airport - We learned the hard way that they will fine you if you do not have the Permit with you.
You folks are right on the money. By all means I recommend the Cd. Juarez airport for anyone flying south from that region. For every reason you mention and one other - you do not have to deal with the retarded gropers and psychopaths known as TSA. Sure....there are appropriate security checks but the people are polite and treat you with respect. You are also correct about Mexico City airport. It is wild. Typically you will be OK if your originating and connecting airline is the same. If the two airlines are different make sure your layover in Mexico City is not tight. I will not fly out of a US airport anymore. I'll fly out of a Mexican airport in heartbeat.
Once again thanks for sharing your positive vibes of our beautiful town and its amenities to thoose who have no idea..🍾

Great , will consider this , we have been talking about traveling from Juárez since it’s so close .
I live in northern New Mexico and always go to Juarez for Mexico trips. Heck of a lot cheaper than flying out of ABQ.
Hi Kevin,
Where do you get the FMM (Tourist Visa) if crossing by land to Juarez (from El Paso): at the border or at the airport?
@@ennydarwins4281 I get the FMM at the airport. There’s a kiosk just past the security checkpoint at the terminal.
@@jazzkevin did you get it and have it stamped too at the airport at the same place?
This was so helpful! I’m doing this in 2 weeks and this video really gave me peace of mind. Thanks for showing this!
As soon as you cross there's taxis already waiting as well, never had a problem
My wife is from EP and I've been there many times. Spanish is so important there and You mention you don't speak it. I think that would make your life much easier living there. Probably lots of options to learn there locally.
This was already my plan ! Had done the research and seen how much more affordable flights are from Juarez. Thanks !!

Were you able to leave your a car at the Juarez airport during your trip? And if so, how does that work?
How about the tourist visa? They are telling us it is not required anymore if flying w a passport?
Did you need the fmm to board or just the passport?
@@rachellozano5960
Thank you we are flying out of Juarez next week.
Enjoy! Thank you for watching

Thank you for that reminder; from now on I’ll compare El Paso to Juarez flights!👍
Thanks for the tips! 👍🏾
You bet! Thank you for watching!
Thank you..
Very helpful. Thank you
If you stay at Juarez the night before, can you still get stamped the next day at Juarez airport? Thank you

How tourist visa...we used to have to get a travel visa...how about now?
Thank you for this video as I’m leaving on the 15 in 2 days another question where you able to exchange money to pesos at the airport ? Thanks
That i can’t remember, so sorry
Did you have to buy the tickets online or did you buy them at the airport in Juárez?
You can buy tickets from Orbitz or any other online booking site
Hello Brian, we bought our tickets online!
Thanks from Alamogordo. I always wondered about travel from there. Time to head for Merida or Mexico City. :) Did you need a passport?
Awesome! We did need our passports.
Thank you for the comment!
Hi. If you’re a US citizen do you need a drivers license or just the passport when boarding the plane from Juarez? Thank you

We got ours at the airport!
Viva Mexico :-)
I’m Planning a trip to Cancun flying from Juarez in June. What type of passport is required passport card or booklet??
Thanks
Make sure to get a travel visa for travel within Mexico. Passport only needed for when coming back
Do you know if you can get the FMM permit a day in advance at the border? Our flight leaves super early and we didn't want to chance being late to get it at the airport as I hear the lines get very long sometimes.
How did You’re trip go? What’s a FMM?
Great audio. Little bit of eco but not too much.
Thank you for the feedback!
I plan on driving from Odessa to El Paso and doing the same. Would anyone know a safe place where I can park my vehicle for about 5 days?
Hmm I am not sure on that one. That's a really good question. I'll look into that!
Where do yall park your car? If you don’t live in El Paso?
There’s paid parking in downtown El Paso or you could Uber too
how do you get an uber in juarez? once im in my cell phone shuts down
With our phone plan they told us to restart our phones once we crossed over. We also had to walk a little bit away from the actual crossing to get service!
@@LivingInElPasoTexas ah makes sense!
