Hitting the red isn't much of a big deal. Unless you've got something to hide.

New Terminal 3 - Customs

Quick and painless...through immigration, baggage claim, and customs in under 20 minutes.

My five-year-old daughter has a streak of "Pase" button-pushing!!

New terminal is awesome...better than many I've seen in the US.

That's happened to us.
I pushed Green, they took one look at me and went through BonnyW's stuff.

It's their rules, whether we like them or not.

Just smile and proceed through, unless you have the aforementioned agricultural products.

When I went thru Terminal 3 in late June, a search dog went up to 2 different people... one in the baggage claim area and one before I got there... Sniffing the purses and going crazy. I'm thinking "holy crap, what do these people have with them?"... Turns out, one had an opened pack of peanut butter crackers from the airplane and the other had an opened bag of nuts. I was thinking what in the world would the dogs do if they found drugs?
Terminal 3 is really nice, very clean and customs both entering and leaving Mexico is so much better than before!

After a 14 hour flight and a 2 hour layover in Cuba last saturday, I got the red light . They opened my 4 suitcases, looked at what was on the top and said ok. It took much longer for me to try and close them than for them to search for... what exactly??

I have never arrived at "Terminal Three" (Always at Terminal One or Two.) Could someone please tell me how difficult it will be to get to the ADO bus to Playa from Terminal Three? And, if so, how to do it?

Will arrive this Saturday, for at least my 16th visit over 25 years.


Whoops! Before Babylou jumps me, I went further down the Forum, and see that my questions were answered! Thanks for the information!
