Some hotels offer shuttle service to the airport that is generally free, but you may incur a fee in some cases.

Food Options at General Servando Canales International Airport

Because it is such a small facility, there are only two restaurants available inside the airport. The hours are limited, since the airport is only open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. Book your domestic cheap flights from Matamoros with Orbitz.com, and use some of the money you saved to enjoy a meal at one of the two airport restaurants.
