My direct 7:50 am flight was delayed 2 hours as soon as I passed security. I got a $4 coffee and sat at the unopened bar and thought about going back home and coming back later. I live about 20 minutes from ABIA but it's a $22-36 cab / Uber each way so decided to wait it out. Bar opens and get a message flight delayed again another hour. So I order a jack and coke for $11. As I'm finishing my drink my flight gets canceled. Get a message that my flight has been rebooked through Denver at 4 pm with a 2 hour layover there. Order another jack and coke because I'm fuming! Get hungry an eat an $11 dry sandwich. Get to Denver have two more drinks, not as expensive BTW. Finally get on my flight get to San Diego and take a $70 Uber to the border. Take a $5 cab to my hotel. Seems to be $5 no matter where you go. Uber is a little cheaper but difficult to book standing at the border. $2.50 Uber from hotel to the zona $5 cab back and be sure to confirm before getting into the cab, if not $7. Sure you can say FU and get out but he's going to want $2 for getting in. Coming back to the border crossing is completely unpredictable. Could be 30 minutes, could be 10 hours this 2.5, $60 to $70 to back to the airport, flight home is delayed by 3 hours. Another $11 sandwich and may as well have few drinks. $26 cab / Uber to get home. And sure there's a $5 trolley from San Diego and back but it's over an hour, you most likely have to stand the whole time, everyone is looking at you like they know what you're up to and after dealing with the airline and the line at the border plus your clothes still smell like the chicas at Hong Kong. The whole thing is a big pain in the ass. The chicas are unbelievable tho so.

Posts: 576I di a super dumb thing with FMM permit handling
Arrived super early in Nuevo Laredo at 9 am Wednesday morning. Drove up the the Citev building and walked into the left wing to obtain a 5 day FMM card. When digging thru my car trunk, found an old FMM card from months ago, and randomly thought of one time guard mentioned the card does need to be turned in.
Proof that I'm not hoarding them and trying to stay on their good side. You know. Diplomacy.
So to stay on their good side, appease USA-Mexico relations, walked up to desk and asked for 5 day permit and showed them an old card they could mark as returned and discard. Instead this happened.
Sir, this card expired April 3 it is now August 4. You overstayed your visit in Mexico! You have to pay the full 6 month price of 575 pesos before I can issue a replacement permit! Cash or card?
Neither, that's just trash. And I didn't over stay, I returned to Nuevo Laredo at 11:30 pm, your office was closed for the night. (Last I checked they're closed 10 pm-6 am).
He insisted the FMM services is 24/7, and we argued for a bit about show some hospitality and let me spend my visitor dollars in MTY and*not be scared off by BS fines.
After we came to conclusion that I wasn't paying the fine (he probably made up) he TOSSED my passport in my general direction told me to buzz off.
Chanced it went to Monterrey anyways. On eventual return trip to Nuevo Laredo, bus was boarded by Mex agent, was an older guy I pretended to sleep face turned away and he never bothered me and hopped back off bus.
MORAL: If entering / exiting via land, fewer headaches to just toss the FMM card.
QUESTION: Did they expand hours to 24/7 like he claims? Because if so,*am looking at a Mex flight would fly out of MTY 11 am so if there is late night FMM card night before in Nuevo that would be super helpful right about now.

Posts: 233Request for Info Re / Nuevo Laredo
Bbond / Others:
I am moving back to San Antonio Sept 1 and was wondering if you could give me the lowdown on what's happening over there in Nuevo Laredo. Heard there were several shootouts on the 9th with several dead. I have also heard that there are more bars open in La Zona. Do you recommend against going to the Zona for safety reasons at this time? How about even coming to the downtown area of Nuevo Laredo. Your candid opinions will be appreciated. Thanks.
