YOUR TRAVEL TIPS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

Holiday season is coming up and it's time to plan your travels. CBX, the bridge that connects the Tijuana International Airport with a service terminal in San Diego, is a very easy and safe way to help you avoid the regular ports of entries in San Ysidro and Otay Mesa. If you are traveling north, you can fly to Tijuana and walk through CBX into the United States. Otherwise, if you are traveling south, you can take any flight from Tijuana and save in travel rates.
