    IF your asking about the CBX crossing tickets (you need 2 – one for each way) It is cheaper to buy them on the CBX website as the airlines that will include those crossing tickets with your flight purchase will charge a small fee extra for providing that service.

    The CBX website doesn’t sale airline tickets… Within the CBX building are airlines counters that will sale and service all tickets, luggage, etc. associated with the airlines located at Tijuana International (NOT the name of the airport just more expedient). The times I have used the CBX crossing those counters are insanely crowded (mostly with people wanting their boarding pass printed out ($) because you have to have it to cross.

    I always purchase my flight ticket (months in advance for the deals) online and then print my boarding pass out the night before my flight so I have it in hand with my passport and FMM (also printed out online) as well as my CBX crossing passes for coming and going, for the quickest transit through CBX to TJ International and vice versa.

    Why anyone would purchase their flight ticket at CBX… not knowing if there was room available on the flight you want/need, is beyond me when you can do that in your own home. If you don’t have a printer available then fight the crowd at the counters for a boarding pass to a flight that you already have secured at home and you know is available. You’ll also have to spend a few moments in the immigration area filling out your FMM.

    With 2 million people transiting CBX each year… do what you can to not have to stand in any of the lines. And if you buy your tickets months in advance you’ll get the best deals (Especially with Volaris).
