You have the option of going through the normal security screening (this area is new since the recent expansion of the CBX facilities) or you can exit the doors to the street and walk about 2 minutes to the original Tijuana Airport entrance. Find the VIP lounge sign, take escalator up, and you have the entrance with airport security. No one in line and much faster.

Lounge had no food out at around 10pm, but they were making made to order panini style sandwiches.

I was nervous to try to get to the VIP fast track landside entrance this with kids last time we went, but going with just my wife next month. After you clear customs, head downstairs and exit outside, do you turn left or right to go to original TIJ entrance?
