Oaxaca’s airport is small but busy, with a mix of domestic and international flights. The terminal is straightforward, with clear signs and helpful staff, but the real challenge is getting from here to your accommodation. That’s where this guide comes in. I’ll walk you through your options, from budget shuttles to private transfers, and help you choose the best one for your needs. Getting From the Airport to Oaxaca City Center # The first thing to note is that Oaxaca International Airport is located about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the city center.
