There are 3 major airport options. The main one is Aeropuerto Internacional del Bajio (BJX), mistakenly known as "Leon Airport" and "Guanajauto Airport". Casa Carmen recommends BJX. It is only one hour and a half away from San Miguel de Allende. Driving through the gorgeous and vivid landscapes is a big plus. BJX is served by Continental Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Aeromexico.
The second option is Aeropuerto Internacional de Queretaro (QRO). It is only 50 minutes away. However, it is only served by Continental Airlines and Aeromexico, and there is only one direct flight back to the US, on a daily basis.
The third option is Benito Juarez Airport (MEX), in Mexico City. Traveling by car/van is 4 hours away from San Miguel de Allende. It is not a surprise to experience heavy traffic since it is the biggest city world wide. Most airline companies fly to MEX.
