What is the cheapest way to get to Veracruz from CA?

Question

i live in so cal im heading to Veracruz, Mexico and the Veracruz airport is very expensive. I want to fly in somewhere cheaper and take a bus to the city. whatever recommendations or near by airports are appricated.

Answer 1

Flying to Mexico D.F.could be the best.  Make your way to Tasquena.  Central de autobuses SUR .  The south terminal is $20.00 from the airport. It is arond $30.00 usd from there to Vera Cruz.

farechase.com  $149.00 one way. Total cost to your destination one way $200.00.

LAX.  $341 return air. for the month of April  to D.F.

Airfare return from LAX to Vera Cruz $441.00 for the whole month of April.

its a very interesting bus ride.

A bus would cost you $260.00 usd for travel in Mexico alone (Return) and would 16 hours one way.

Answer 2

There are only 2 choices.  You can fly nto the Veracruz airport or into Mexico City and take a bus to Veracruz.  There are NO other airports in the region.  I think it usually cost about $100.00 more to fly into Veracruz.  The bus from Mexico City would take about 6 1/2 hrs and cost about $37.00.  The taxi from the airport to the bus station in Mexico City would be about $10.00 .  It does not save much to do this.  If you do decide to fly into Mexico City and take the bus, you can use the site below to see bus schedule and prices.Remember, prices are listed in PESOS.  the 1st class fare is 372 pesos and the luxury bus fare is 526 pesos.  Other answerer said to go to the SUR (south) bus terminal in Mexico City, but as you will see on the site below,  You can take an ADO bus Line bus from the TAPO bus station in Mexico City.  These are very nice buses and the main bus line into Veracruz.tho there may be others.  I found the rest of his answer confusing...do you? You COULD take a bus all the way from California, but that would be  VERY ong ride.
