Visitors are advised to plan meals before arrival or head into the town center for more varied options.
- Confirm your flight arrangements well in advance as this airport serves general and charter aviation only — no scheduled commercial airlines operate here.
- Arrange ground transport ahead of time, as taxi and ride-hail availability can be inconsistent outside peak hours.
- Traffic on the roads connecting Atizapán to central Mexico City can be severe during morning and evening rush hours — allow extra travel time.
- Carry cash in Mexican pesos, as smaller local services and food vendors in the area may not accept credit cards.
