Instructions when arriving to Mexico:

For those arriving to the Mexico City International Airport, there will be buses available from Mexico City to Puebla City. On the days of October 7, 8, 9 and 10 Universidad de las Américas (UDLA)’s students will guide you to the “Estrella Roja” bus stop, which is just outside the terminal at exit 8.

If you already paid for your bus ticket when registering to the congress, the window agent at the bus stop will give you a round-trip ticket (México-Puebla-México) by mentioning only LACEA and your name. A time of departure and seat will then be assigned for your trip to Puebla, and students will be there to help you. Remember to keep your return ticket; otherwise you have to pay for it again.

From Mexico City International Airport to 4 Poniente bus station in Puebla, “Estrella Roja” buses depart on the following schedule: 6:00, 7:30, 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 13:30, 14:30, 15:10, 15:30, 16:30, 17:10, 17:30, 18:30, 19:30, 20:10, 20:30, 21:10, 21:30, 22:30, 23:30, 24:20. If many people are arriving at the same time additional runs will be sent.

In Puebla there are two bus stations. In order to avoid confusion, in Mexico City airport you should take the bus that goes to 4 Poniente. Once in Puebla, you should take a taxi cab inside the bus station to the hotel you have been previously assigned. You should pay for your own taxi, and a student will also be there in case of need. Do not worry, these taxis are safe and relatively cheap (3-6 US dollars depending on the distance).
