Hi,

Would love a trip to Tijuana. But, I only have a passport. So, I don't know how long the line is to come back. I don't mine an hour wait or even hour and 30 minutes. But, trying to get back after a reasonable wait. Any suggestions? I would like to go maybe tomorrow until Monday morning. Thanks.

The girl I'm talking about is from Tropical but she made it clear she's down to meet outside of work.

Is Luxor or Dosha in or close to the zona?

The power of Google is worth it here.

Probably La Mansion would be better in zona Rio, closer to zona Norte.

There are others, but here are two this hit my brain quickly:

Motel Luxor.

Motel Dosha.

Show up. Pay $30 or so, up to 4 hrs generally.

You might find Premier as well, but they have been banned from at least one escort agency.

What places are the best options if you just need a room for an hour or two with a girl if you meet her on her off hours, and how much does it cost?

"apparently (I believe) took higher revenue passengers ".

I'm gunna ask my wife how that works. She's a pilot for "a major". And all this time I never asked.

A few days of wine country down Ensenada way left my 928 a filthy mess.

These people. Beat my expectations _by far_ for only $25.

A black ceramic coated car will show -any- scratch. I visited them, and chatted and observed how they were washing cars, and I was happy. They had the car for 3 hrs while they fit in into their day without an appt.

Happened once to me on Avianca "Avi-nunca" coming back from Cali. It was a direct flight to Miami and since they apparently (I believe) took higher revenue passengers I would of had to wait another day and take the chance of being bumped again. Since I had to be back at work the day after I asked them to fly me back to BOG that day where I caught the following morning very early the 1st of several daily flights into Miami.

If this ever happens to anyone anywhere always look at the situation and if possible get an alternate route back and via the major airport if necessary to increase your chances of getting back sooner if you are time constrained.

I had another in 2008 from Lima to Cusco. The airline was Star Peru and after about 7 hours of delay I went out to ticket counter and got a refund then went right to Lan Peru and got a flight right out. Lesson learned is sometimes is Ok to spend some more $ if time is of the essence. I was going to miss out on just 1 of 5 tour days in Cusco if didn't do this.

Oh no Amor! That must have really sucked. Is the reason why I have not traveled outside USA Since last JAN when the testing requirement started. I hope they repeal it real soon. I am getting super depress and antsy not being able to visit chicas in CR and CO. Not that I don't like MEX honeys but Cascadas chica getting killed recently along with others kinda frieks me out. I am considering taking the MEX bus from Nuevo Laredo to MTY soon if anyone interested hehehehehe.

Amor,

Last December I was flying from Bogota to Medellin. There were no requirements for tests. So the test that grounded you was likely for a flight to the US. You should have been able to figure out ways to fly back.

In my trip I had to fill out health declarations for Panama and show records of 3 vacc's to fly between Panama, Colombia and Mexico. There were no testing required arriving or departing any airports.

On the return trip from Colombia, I was afraid the US may require special tests or block flights from Latin America, so I flew to CDMX and spent a couple days to assess the situation before flying back to LAX. If the US blocked flights I would fly to Tijuana and cross back on foot, as I know Mexico would be very unlikely to require check or test for internal flights in Mexico, also unlikely at at US land border.

A couple days before my return flight, US required passengers to have negative test within 1 day of flight. I went to MEX airport early in the morning and took the nose swab test. There were half a dozen test booths on sidewalk in front of the arrival hall, one for each airline. Within half hour waiting I had a print out showing negative result which I had to show agents at check in.

If I failed the test I would book a cheap flight to Tijuana and cross back on foot. It was a hassle but I was glad I got to travel to a few places after 2 years shut down.

Local airports' departure tax vary and included in the tickets, cost about half to a third for national vs international flights.

If you fly to any Mexico's cities, tickets from Tijuana will cost as little as 1/3 to half tickets flying out of LAX.

I had itinerary to fly RT from Tijuana to 4 cities, CDMX, Cancun, Guadalajara, Monterrey, back to Tijuana, costs only $134. Let's go visit the chicas.

Airport of departure Domestic routes International routes.

Acapulco (ACA) $568 MXN / $27.69 USD $1,271 MXN / $62.02 USD.

Cancun (CUN) $226 MXN / $10.98 USD $801 MXN / $39.05 USD.

Guadalajara (GDL) $445 MXN / $21.71 USD $1,178 MXN / $57.47 USD.

LOS Cabos (SJD) $371 MXN / $18.09 USD $1,178 MXN / $57.47 USD.

Mexico City (MEX) $619 MXN / $30.18 USD $1,340 MXN / $65.37 USD.

Tijuana (TIJ) $437 MXN / $21.32 USD $564 MXN / $27.49 USD.

Do you have to have a negative covid test to show at CBX to get back into the US? I got stuck in Cartagena for 9 extra days due to contracting Omicron and getting 2 positive tests so not being able to board a flight home.

Fuck that is a premium. I think that people need to be aware of a lot of hidden charges or pay-as-you-use charges when flying in Mexico. The $145 luggage fee is high. So is that fucking weird airport tax that adds on $50 - $100 to your plane ticket.

I guess you can get around the luggage by traveling light with a carry on. But there is no way to get around the airport tax.

The Tijuana airport tax is really high, IMO. But you're stuck.

Viva and Volaris really do nickel and dime you, but 37 KG is like 82 pounds. That's one heavy suitcase, and would get a huge oversize / heavy baggage charge on almost any airline. I've traveled extensively in Asia with one huge suitcase and it rarely exceeded 50 lbs. If you prepay your luggage on Volaris or Viva it's a lot more reasonable than if you pay at the counter, and their web site states this.

Vivabus' cheap fare allows only 1 personal item like a back pack or hand bag that fit under the seat.

Most time they would let you take on board a wheel luggage if it does not exceed 22 x16 x10 inches and 22 lbs.

Check luggage can be very expensive. Viva charged me $145 for a wheel luggage 37 Kg.
