How to get into lounges at CUN.
Cancún is a DragonPass airport first — the MERA lounges in Terminals 2, 3 and 4 all admit DragonPass members, making it the single most useful membership here. SkyTeam and Star Alliance status open the airline-aligned MERA lounges, a couple of lounges sell walk-in day passes, and several MERA lounges are purchasable at the door. Because the terminals don't connect airside, always confirm which terminal you're flying from before clearing security.
