The main issue for families at Felipe Angeles Airport is distance. Our route database estimates that the boroughs we serve are about 28 to 67 km away by road, so plan for a long arrival day.
At the airport
The airport website lists a nursing room in the final waiting rooms on the departure side, and an interactive map. For other family facilities, ask at an information point after you land. Allow extra time at the baggage hall when you travel with young children.

Getting to your accommodation
Train: the Felipe Angeles train goes to Buenavista and, according to the airport, takes about 60 minutes at present. You need the Movilidad Integrada card, which can be topped up at Buenavista station, in local shops or through a mobile app. After Buenavista you still need the Metro, the Metrobus or a taxi. With strollers and several bags that is three stages, so think about it before you commit.
Bus: the airport lists routes from 19 reference points, and each route has its own schedule and cost on the airport page. A bus ends at a reference point rather than at your hotel.
Taxi: the airport lists 11 taxi companies at Level 00. No fare table is published, so agree how the fare is set, and the total, before you set off.
Pre-booked transfer: the vehicle goes to your address, and you can ask for a larger one if you have strollers and luggage. Check your booking confirmation for the meeting point.
Child seats
No official statement on child seat rules or availability in airport taxis was found. If you need a seat, request it when you book a transfer and give the child's age and weight, then confirm it in your booking confirmation. Do not assume a taxi at the rank will have one.
Practical points
Carry water, snacks and any medicine in your hand luggage, because the ride into the boroughs can take a long time in traffic. Keep passports and your hotel address within reach. For rules on baby food and other items, check the airport website.
The bottom line
If one adult can stay with the bags while the other checks the booking or finds the driver, arrivals go more smoothly. With young children, a ride that goes straight to the door is usually the calmer way to end a long journey. Ask your transfer provider about vehicle size when you book, so that people, strollers and bags all fit.
