How can I get to Otay Mesa and get around on a budget?

The closest airport is 0.9 mi (1.5 km) from the centre in Tijuana, Baja California Norte (TIJ-General Abelardo L. Rodriguez Intl.). If that doesn't suit your budget, you can look into flights to San Diego, CA (SAN-San Diego Intl.), which is 17.7 mi (28.4 km) away.
