Paco Loco Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Are there any restrictions on US Citizens flying from Tijuana to GDL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 National flights have no citizenship requirement. If you are staying in Mexico now no problem. If not then the question is how to get to Tijuana. Since tourism is suspended between the US and Mexico, you probably can not enter Mexico unless your are Mexican, or have a Residente Permante of Residente Temporal.

Mainecoons Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 That's a pretty over the top response to a simple question. Take a deep breath and don't assume why the question was asked. Paco I think if the airlines are booking seats, they are flying. At least from here to Oaxaca Volaris isn't booking anything until next month. Given how the goal posts keep moving I wouldn't have a lot of confidence about bookings even a month from now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I am going to take a slightly less strident approach. Flying is one of the most dangerous activities because the air constantly recirculates. So if you must fly, PLEASE self-quarantine afterwards for 2 weeks.

pappysmarket Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Local news here in the RGV reports restrictions at the border will end May 20th. YMMV PS We go out for errands, etc. without fear but we do take precautions: masks, gloves and face shields. Chances of getting hit by a car or truck are probably higher than getting Covid-19. You can find the face shields on Amazon for 2/$29.99. They aren't pretty but they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beebee Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Tijuana-GDL and vice versa is my regular route to U.S. My flight two weeks ago was cancelled and when I went to look for a subsequent flight they were blocked into November. That doesn't mean they aren't flying tomorrow--that was two weeks ago. I believe if you are ticketed you can buy a Xborder Xpress ticket which allows you to enter the TJ airport via a pedestrian bridge and leave the same way when you return. This avoids contact in hard hit Tijuana and is the easiest, quickest way across the international border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Saw a post on Facebook of a United flight from NY to San Fran. It was packed! Everyone wearing masks but...... i won't be flying soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Even before all this happened the business model of the airlines was to fly packed airplanes so they could have lower fares which made it easy to pack airplanes. As air travel resumes I expect they will only schedule enough flights to fly mostly full. Y'all do what you want, we are staying strictly off airplanes and out of airports until there is a vaccine and we have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Airlines claim they only make a profit at 80% of capacity and above. So unless there is a vaccine soon they will be out of business...unless the government decides not having airlines for the future is not acceptable and decides to bail them out, no interest loans or maybe nationalize them. They can't survive long term not filling that middle seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
