We have received many emails from members who have questions about travel between Mexico City Airport and Puebla. Please be assured that we are doing everything possible to ensure that you are taken care of. We will have greeters in the International Arrivals area of the Mexico City Airport and the Puebla Airport to assist you from August 1 through August 3. Please look for greeters holding a Subud sign after you go through customs.
TRANSPORTATION BETWEEN MEXICO CITY AIRPORT AND PUEBLA
If you are flying into Mexico City, you will need transportation to Puebla, which is a 2 hour trip from the airport. Also be aware that customs can take at least one hour. There are 3 options:
1 – Congress Shuttle Buses
Congress shuttle buses are available ONLY Aug 1, 2, 3 and Aug 16, 17, 18. If you register for one of our buses, a greeter will be there, no matter what the time you arrive.
July 31 arrivals: We know that there is a large group arriving from Montreal around 15:00 on the 31st of July to México City. Though we had not included shuttles for the 31st, we could do so if enough people are arriving, so IF YOU ARE ARRIVING on the 31st of JULY around 15:00 and are interested in a shuttle please write urgently to Ghazzali Torres at swc2014.transportation@gmail.
If you are arriving earlier than August 1 and you need assistance, please send your date and time of arrival to Ghazzali Torres <swc2014.transportation@
If you have already reserved a Congress shuttle bus, we URGENTLY need your flight information and hotel information so that bus drivers will know where to pick you up and drop you off.
