volaris t.j to cabo?
      #2300682 - 05/03/12 03:16 PM

Going to Cabo to meet the inlaws and more family again this summer and looks like flying out of S.D. is nearly $2,000.00 for four of us. Volaris out of T.J. is way cheaper, anyone flown Volaris? they have a shuttle from downtown S.D. to the TJ airport.

I flew Volaris out of T.J. to Mex City about 4 weeks ago. Its a really good option if you do it right. I didn't take the shuttle, my brother dropped me off since he lives in Chula Vista. I think the shuttle is probably the best option though, because border lines SUCK. The airport is right next to the Otay Mesa border crossing.

The main thing is to be sure you stop at the immigration kiosk before you go through security and get your stamps. I didn't do this and ended up having to pay almost $200 in fines in Mexico City.

Other than that, Volaris was a decent airline and everything went smooth. Better than paying 2 grand, thats for sure.

easy there are a couple van services that will get you in and out of US / TJ and load your boards for you. I did this when I went to mainland last year. I would just call a cab van - have them drop you off at the border and walk accross. The international van service is like $150 each way. They did wait for us at 2am when our plane got back in which was nice. I would pay for that service for sure but the drop off service from the states to the airport is not that great. Just get dropped off at the boarder, go through customs an you can get cabs on the other side easy. Nice to have the big van waiting for you in TJ though when you get back. we used fivestarshuttle.com for ours.

good luck
