Flight
The closest airport to fly into is CUN. There are direct flights from both the New York and Chicago areas. The resort is a ~30-40 minute drive from the airport.
Travel Note
Your passport MUST be valid during the entirety of your trip! Please be sure to check the expiration date and begin the renewal process well in advance if it is expiring soon (it is recommended to renew even if it is expiring in the 6 months following your planned return home). Right now, renewing passports can take longer than usual, so it would be best to get it out of the way as soon as you can.

Travel Note
Feel free to use this link to arrange transportation between CUN and Banyan Tree. Please note that these prices are PER VEHICLE and not per person, meaning we encourage you to coordinate with other guests you are flying with (same exact flight) in order to split the price amongst a group! https://www.bimeetings.com.mx/samantha-jeffrey-wedding Other options include arranging a car service directly with Banyan Tree closer to check-in (private, yet pricier alternative), or utilizing any other third-party service that you research (we have used Cancun Shuttle and had a good experience: https://www.cancunshuttle.com/).
