OAX · ASUR gateway to Oaxaca City with one Priority Pass lounge (GLN, landside 2nd floor, 05:00–21:00). Easier ground access than coastal peers — but the lounge is before security, so budget re-clear time.
PXM · Compact Oaxaca Pacific leisure gateway with no Priority Pass lounges indexed on research day. Easy once inside — plan hotel transfers and do not chase a PP pin.
