Flights from Las Vegas (LAS) to Tijuana (TIJ) from USD150

Getting ready for your trip from Las Vegas? Here's everything you should keep in mind before heading to the airport:

• Check-in: Arrive at least 3 hours before your flight at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) to clear TSA and customs smoothly. Use the Volaris app for easy digital check-in.
• Documents: Bring a valid passport. Mexican nationals should also carry their INE or CURP. U.S. citizens only need a valid passport; no visa is needed for short visits.
• Luggage: Carry-on bags should stay within 10 kg and the allowed dimensions. Checked bags can vary depending on your fare, so confirm baggage rules ahead of time.
• Weather in Las Vegas: Expect dry desert heat, especially between May and September. Dress in light layers and bring sunscreen if you're spending time outdoors before the flight.
• Weather in Tijuana: The city has a coastal Mediterranean climate. Mornings can be foggy and cool, while afternoons are sunny and mild. A hoodie and sneakers are smart choices year-round.
• Things to do in Las Vegas before your flight: Grab a bite at The Henry in The Cosmopolitan, catch some views from the STRAT, or do a little last-minute shopping at the airport’s luxury boutiques.

Your Volaris flight will land at Tijuana International Airport (TIJ), located just 8 km from downtown. It’s one of the most modern airports in northern Mexico and also offers access to the Cross Border Xpress (CBX), making it easy to cross between the U.S. and Mexico terminals.

After landing, you'll find ATMs, currency exchange booths, SIM card vendors, car rental desks, and several food spots. Uber and DiDi operate at TIJ, or you can take official airport taxis to Zona Río, Playas, or Otay.

If it’s your first time in Tijuana, head straight to Telefonica Gastro Park for gourmet tacos and craft beer. If you want to unwind, a walk through Parque Teniente Guerrero or a quick stop at El Popo Market gives you a feel for the city’s local rhythm before diving into deeper exploration.

Tijuana is bold, creative, and constantly evolving. Here's where to go once you arrive.

Zona Centro
Home to Avenida Revolución, this is the cultural heart of Tijuana. Street murals, cantinas, museums, and galleries make it ideal for daytime strolls and nightlife crawls.

Zona Río
Tijuana’s business district also hides fun. Explore CECUT (the iconic spherical cultural center), chill in cafes, or catch a concert. Great for modern restaurants and shopping, too.

Playas de Tijuana
Just 20 minutes from the airport, this coastal neighborhood offers long beach walks, fresh seafood, and a peaceful contrast to downtown energy. Don’t miss the murals along the border wall.

Mercado Hidalgo
If you're a foodie, this vibrant market is a must. Find spices, candy, cheeses, and Mexican snacks you didn’t know you needed—perfect for gifts or an afternoon tasting session.

Pasaje Rodríguez
A narrow alley turned artsy walkway, full of indie bookstores, tattoo shops, cafés, and live events. It’s where young creatives gather and Tijuana’s future unfolds.

Tijuana is more than a border stop—it’s a dynamic destination worth a few days. Here’s how to enjoy it best.
