Stop knocking your videos because I love them! Your humor is second to none. I’ve never gone across the border to catch a flight but is it really worth it?

The seats were roomie and pretty darn comfortable for my taste, loved the styling and for food we had the option of pasta or salmon I chose the pasta it was so delicious, they served it with red or white wine (or your choice of drink) and the FA's were so nice and attentive! It definitely made me think of only flying premiere when going to Mexico lol I flew on a Aeromexico 737 Max 8 and I also kept replaying the Boeing scandal in my head before flying. 😂😂 thankfully everything was fine! My only complaint is I fell asleep and didn’t fully take advantage of the complimentary alcoholic beverages 😭😭😭

Mexico City Terminal 2 is prettier than T1. And thats a lot to say. A new world-class airport was being built. But it was canceled by our current president. Which decided to make a new airport on the outskirts of the city. That airport doesn't even have proper access roads. For the next time that you flight out of the Mexico City Airport choose a seat in the left side of the plane and you will see a big X that it what was left of that cancel project. On the other side excellent video. Aeromexico has being making great efforts to improve.

Santa Lucía is the original name it used to be a military airport. Now it is know as Felipe Angeles Airport. It was poorly build by the military. And the architect who design it said that they change a lot of his original work. It is very difficult to reach it. (There isn’t a public transport and the highways are poorly design and some aren’t finished yet. ) Now it only have a few national flights, sometimes a flight to Venezuela and by the end of September a flight to Panama. In my personal opinion it isn’t worth it the extra mile and cost to flight out of the NLU for people who live inside Mexico City. Maybe for those who live in the outskirts of Mexico City it will workout. www.google.com/amp/s/newsrnd.com/amp/2022-03-22-the-architect-of-the-felipe-%25C3%25A1ngeles-airport--%2522i-don-t-recognize-many-things-about-the-project%2522.SJ-7c3p8M9.html

Then it’s just a matter of walking across the bridge and going through US passport control and customs on the other side.

I have a somewhat different perspective on the Xborder Express, which is that it's added unnecessary traffic and pollution to Southern California freeways by people driving from all over SoCal to TIJ in search of low airfares (I know plenty of people in LA who drive there). The low airfares are due to paying AeroMexico crews less than U.S. crews as well as lower ticket taxes. There may be other reasons for the cost difference as well. There is the additional advantage that TIJ already fills half the plane as Scott estimates with Tijuana residents meaning the bar for adding service there is far less than out of SAN. Call me a SAN booster, but I wish SAN had the air service to Mexico and Latin America - at least as much as our proximity to LAX would allow us. For the San Diego region as a whole though, you could make the argument that Xborder Express provides us with far more air service to Mexico than we would otherwise have.
