Pickup: The driver waits in the arrivals area on the ground floor of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), after baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name.

Chapala lies on the northern shore of Lake Chapala, the largest lake in Mexico, south of the airport. The route simply follows the Guadalajara–Chapala highway south from the airport, the same highway the airport stands on, so there is no city traffic to cross. The road runs through farmland and small towns before descending to the lake shore. On weekends and holidays many visitors from Guadalajara drive to the lake, and the town centre gets busy.
The centre of Chapala is the lakefront malecón with its pier, gardens and restaurants, a few blocks from the main avenue, Avenida Madero, which leads down to the lake. Lakeside villages continue west along the shore: Ajijic is about 7 km away, followed by San Juan Cosalá and Jocotepec, all on the same lakeside road. Chapala and Ajijic are home to many long-term residents from abroad, and the climate is mild all year.
Public transport: The airport operator's ground transportation page lists no scheduled airport bus or rail link; it lists only transport service desks on the ground floor of the terminal. Regional buses to Chapala run on the same highway, but the airport does not publish their stops.
