Where Hermanos Serdán International Airport is
Hermanos Serdán International Airport is in Huejotzingo, Puebla, rather than in the city centre. Puebla’s tourism site gives the distance to the Historic Center as 72 km, a useful point of reference when planning your arrival.
The airport’s IATA code is PBC. Use that code when checking flights and airport details, and allow for the fact that the journey into Puebla is a trip from Huejotzingo, not a city-centre transfer.
How do you get from PBC to Puebla?
Airport taxis are reported to offer service to Puebla, while bus connections may be available to some terminals in the country. Confirm the current service, destination and fare before setting out, as schedules and ticket arrangements can change.
A taxi stand called “Transportes terrestres” has been reported at the airport. An INAOE visitor-information page also describes airport taxis serving Puebla and Cholula, but does not provide a verified current fare or operating hours. Ask about the destination and total price before accepting a ride.
For bus travel, Universidad de las Américas Puebla directs passengers to its travel agency for schedules and tickets. Its information identifies CAPU and Estrella Roja’s 4 Poniente terminal as Puebla bus terminals; controlled taxis are available at both.
A connection to a bus terminal is not the same as a direct trip to the Historic Center, so check how you’ll continue from the terminal.
Private transfer services may advertise airport pickups, but confirm directly with a provider that it serves your flight and destination. A private company’s description alone does not establish that it is authorized by the airport.
Driving time and route to central Puebla
From Hotel Santiago, the drive to Hermanos Serdán International Airport takes about 88 minutes. That gives you a useful planning reference for the hotel, but it is not a guaranteed journey time for every departure point or trip.

What to check before your flight
Verify your transport details before travelling: bus schedules and ticket availability, taxi service to your destination, and any pickup instructions for a pre-booked ride. Puebla’s tourism connectivity page gives the airport telephone number as 227 102 5080; confirm the number before relying on it.
CAPU’s telephone number is 222 2497211, and Estrella Roja’s 4 Poniente terminal can be reached at (222) 273 8300. Telephone details and services can change, so check the official site before you go.
Arriving near Puebla city centre
Once you reach Puebla, Hotel Santiago is about 2 minutes on foot from Puebla city centre, and you can choose from the hotel’s rooms. The airport transfer itself is the longer part of the journey, so arrange how you’ll get from PBC to your accommodation before your flight.
After arrival, take time to get your bearings in Puebla Centro.
For planning time on foot around the central area, a walking guide to Puebla Centro can help with the route.
A day’s route can also be useful; a one-day Puebla Centro itinerary sets out a walkable plan.
