Get through security quickly;
check the latest regulations
TSA
Air Travel To Oaxaca (OAX)
Mexico uses the same procedures for security
as you find in the USA. Before your flight to
Oaxaca check TSA guidelines. www.TSA.gov
The TSA web site has the latest on security
procedures in the US. This could prevent your
loss of carry-on items that need special handling
or packaging. Security will confiscate items in
the US and Mexico.
In Mexico, security will often hand inspect
luggage randomly. When you arrive in Oaxaca
they will xray all luggage looking for taxable items.
For Oaxaca flights, you can save money by
shopping well ahead of your trip so that you can
design a trip with realistic layover times.
It is a good strategy to be realistic about your
ability to make connections. Leave enough time
between connections to go through customs
and immigration.
Mexico city airport might require two hours to
get through immigration. Having a cushion of
three hours at this point of entry on an
international flight is not unreasonable. This
leaves room for a delayed flight or masses of
arrivals trying to get through immigration,
customs, and security.
Airlines have been reporting a 30% delay rates
in the last few years. If you leave ample time to
make a connection, at least one and a half to two
and a half hours between planes domestically
and three hours internationally you will be safe in
case the plane is late leaving or arriving.
Find a suitable flight and then call the airline and
see if they have a better deal. Book on-line and
then call the airline and secure a seat
assignment to a seat as far forward as possible.
If you establish frequent flier accounts with
your usual airlines you can get an assigned seat
on airlines that hold back assigning seats.
Getting a seat assignment as far forward will
provide a quieter and more comfortable ride.
When it comes time to leave the airplane, you
will be among the first off and have more time to
make your connecting flight.
Try to get a seat assignment as early as
possible.
