Which terminals have ADO buses
ADO airport buses stop at Terminals 2, 3 and 4 of Cancún International Airport. The same bus calls at the terminals in turn, so you can board it at whichever terminal you land at. Look for the ADO counter in the arrivals area once you are through customs.
Terminal 1 has no ADO departures. If you land there, take the airport shuttle between terminals to Terminal 2 and board the bus there.
Your ticket shows the terminal it was sold for, for example "Cancún Airport Terminal 2". If you book online before you fly, choose the terminal your airline uses.

How long to allow after landing
Book your bus for a departure about 1 hour after landing on a domestic flight, and about 2 hours after landing on an international flight. International arrivals go through immigration, baggage claim and customs, which often take more than an hour at busy times.
Buses to downtown Cancún and Playa del Carmen run all day, so a later departure rarely means a long wait.
If your flight is late
ADO airport tickets can be used on a later ADO bus on the same route the same day, if there are free seats. Go to the ADO counter in the terminal with your ticket. See missed your bus after a late flight for the details.
