Question

When should I book my flight and what airport should I fly to?

Answer

We’d recommend buying flights 2-8 months out. You can use Google Flights to help track prices. July is a popular, pricier travel month; prices generally increase as the departure date nears, making early booking essential. When booking your flight, it is crucial to use airport code DGO (Durango, MX) as the destination airport to avoid confusing it with Durango, Colorado (DRO). There are 2 additional international airports in the region as an alternative option, Durango is in between both. Each of those 2 airports are approximately 3-4 hours from Durango. MZT (Mazatlan MX) is a beach destination on the Pacific Coast that offers all-inclusive resorts and delicious seafood. You can either rent a car and drive to Durango through a beautiful scenic route or book a bus ticket from the bus station (Central de Autobuses de Mazatlan) to Durango (Central Camionera de Durango). The Hampton Inn by Hilton Durango listed on our travel section is within walking distance of Central Camionera de Durango. TRC (Torreón, MX) option is inland Northeast of Durango. From here you can either rent a car and drive or book a bus ticket from the bus station (Central de Autobuses de Torreón) to Durango. Compare flight options and choose the airport that best fits your budget and travel plans.

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

Renting a car is optional. If you’re staying in the city, it’s generally not needed, as taxis and Ubers are readily available. On the day of the wedding, we’ll provide transportation from the designated hotels to the ceremony, reception, and back to the same hotels listed on our travel section.
