Subject: Post: How difficult it can be to get to the airport.. There are like two or three daily buses to Tuxtla Gutierrez airport from San Cristobal de las Casas, none of them suitable for our flight schedule. From Tuxtla Gutierrez there is only one bus in the early morning and no bus from the airport to Tuxtla.All other transportation between the airport and the nearby cities is run by goverment-created taxi cartel, for ridiculous prices. Normal taxi from San Cristobal to the airport is like 600-700 mexican pesos, that's around 40€ and even if it would be normal for Finnish overpriced taxi services it's totally out of scale in here. For example, the 10 hour and 500km shuttle to Guatemala is 300 pesos and taxis inside the city area like 20 pesos. Seems like somebody thinks the air travelers have money and can be charged multiple times more than other local passengers.. And that sucks.Well, our hostel offers transport to the airport for 450 pesos (27€), which is almost reasonable divided to three.. Waiting for the driver now, ready to fly to Mexico City and continue to Cuernavaca which should be great. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
