Mexico City is the busiest route, flown by Aeroméxico and, from Mexico City's Felipe Ángeles airport, by Viva Aerobus. Alaska Airlines flies to Los Angeles year-round, and in winter WestJet flies to Calgary, American Airlines to Dallas/Fort Worth and Phoenix, and United Airlines to Houston.
The airport has one passenger terminal for domestic and international flights, with check-in counters, car rental, taxi stands and a departure concourse of four gates that open directly onto the apron. A separate terminal handles general and executive aviation.
From the airport, travelers head to Manzanillo's hotel zone and bays, to Barra de Navidad and Melaque on the Jalisco coast, and to the beach town of Cuyutlán.

Manzanillo has one passenger terminal, and its gates open directly onto the apron, so you walk between the aircraft and the building.
If you arrive on an international flight, such as from Los Angeles, Calgary, Dallas/Fort Worth, Phoenix or Houston, you clear immigration first. Have your passport and your flight details ready; visitors from many countries do not need a visa, but check the rules for your passport before you travel. After immigration, collect your bags and pass through customs.
Domestic passengers go straight to baggage claim and then into the arrivals area.
The car rental counters (Alamo, Budget, Sixt and Thrifty) and the taxi stands are at the terminal. Hotels are spread along the coast, so plan your ride before you land: a pre-booked transfer, a taxi or a rental car. If you booked a transfer, your driver waits for you as you leave the arrivals area.
A pre-booked driver meets you at arrivals and takes you to your hotel in Manzanillo or along the coast to Barra de Navidad and Melaque. It suits families and anyone with luggage.
Taxis wait at the stands at the terminal. Confirm the destination before you set off, since hotels are spread along the coast.
Alamo, Budget, Sixt and Thrifty have counters at the terminal. A car is useful for exploring the Colima and Jalisco coast.

Airline staff meet passengers who requested assistance at the aircraft and accompany them through immigration, baggage claim and customs to the arrivals area.
