Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport

Domestic can look short while U.S./Canada leisure banks stretch curb-to-gate — do not copy a quiet Tuesday onto a Saturday LAX or YYC bank.

Aim ~2 hours for straightforward domestic hops; 2.5–3 hours for U.S. or Canada when winter-charter and Saturday turn banks stack check-in, security, immigration (on arrival), and the walk to the international satellite. Spring-break and year-end weeks feel worse than a quiet midweek midday.

One complex, two sterile products after screening — follow domestic vs international signs from check-in.

Landside is one commercial complex, but after security you are in the domestic/national stream or the international satellite (often signed Terminal 1 vs Terminal 2 on lounge and GAP materials). Confirm domestic vs international on the boarding pass before you queue; the new Terminal 2 construction site is not passenger-ready yet.

Strongest casual density is airside; do not plan on destination dining.

Airside cafés, quick-service counters, and the international satellite food/retail strip are where most leisure passengers actually eat; landside is thinner once you are committed to a bank. Prices track resort-airport norms — if you have Priority Pass, a VIP Lounge snack/drink pattern usually beats a full sit-down for a short wait.

Three Priority Pass VIP Lounges; redeem after the correct security or arrivals filter.

Redeem Priority Pass / LoungeKey at the VIP Lounge matching your journey leg: national departures after the food court, international departures between gates ~10–12, or arrivals after immigration/customs. There is no separate airline alliance walk-up club on the Priority Pass directory — Aeroméxico / card lounges (if any that day) are separate products.
