Flight Numbers
​
-
Send these to your sponsor so they can track your flight and meet you at the house when you arrive. Useful if your flight gets delayed and you can't communicate.
​
Here's some info that might be useful once you land:
-
There are ATMs at the airport if you do want to draw pesos there or you can just wait until you get downtown.
-
The official cab stand is inside the terminal to your right when you exit baggage claim and customs.
-
When you buy your taxi ticket, tell them you want to go to Centro (they price by zone).
-
You buy one ticket (about 450 pesos) for up to 4 people. Take 2 taxis if more than 4, or the van if it is available.
-
You can use a credit card for the fare (it will only cost 20 pesos more).
-
You catch the cab right outside.
-
Tell the cab driver to take you to 49 Pedregoso in Centro and/or show him the map below.
-
If the taxi driver is confused, they can call Walden's cell at 669 228 2642.
-
The tip is included, but if there is a lot of luggage, you can leave them 20 or 30 pesos more at the end of the ride.
-
-
The 30 minute taxi ride in is interesting, passing through some very poor neighborhoods.

When Leaving:
​
-
Ramone is our local taxi driver. Just call him (or have one of us call him) at +52 669 158 7915 the day before you leave.
-
Let him know what time to pick you up.
-
He doesn't mind very early rides in case you have the 6:00 AM flight.
-
Mention Walden's name and he'll know where to pick you up (Pedregoso 49).
-
The fare is about 400 pesos (about $20 USD).
-
The taxi ride will take about 30 minutes.
​
-
We recommend leaving here about 2 hours before your flight.
-
You don't need to print out your boarding pass since you'll need to scan your passport when you check in anyway.
