Make sure you and your family have
the appropriate documents to enter Mexico. US and Canadian
Citizens need passports or birth certificates with a
picture ID. All other citizens need passports. Some
countries may need an entry Visa. |
| |
|
|
Check that you have all of your travel
vouchers such as plane tickets, hotel vouchers, etc.
|
| |
|
|
Have one person in charge of these
documents. |
| |
|
|
Pack according to your airline's luggage
allowances. They are very strict now and excess luggage
can get very expensive. Most airlines are charging almost
$100.00 USD for excess luggage. Please check with your
airline for more information. |
| |
|
|
Mark your luggage for easy identification.
Also, make sure all luggage have a name tag. |
| |
|
|
Wear comfortable clothes. Remember
is almost 80 degrees in Cancun. |
| |
|
|
Do not bring food unless is sealed
and packaged. As a rule of thumb, you can not bring
any meats, vegetable or grains. THIS IS NOT AN AIRPORT
POLICY, it is a Mexican Customs Policy. |
| |
|
|
DO NOT BRING any firearms, knives,
sharp objects or any item that can be considered a weapon.
Lighters are now banned from carry on baggages. |
| |
|
|
When checking in at your departure
airport make sure you get all of your luggage claim
tags. You will need them in Cancun. |
| |
|
|
Fill out these forms while you are
on the plane. DO NOT WAIT until you get to Cancun. |
| |
|
|
Families please stay together while
going through immigration. Give your complete documentation
to the immigration agent and wait for questions, if
any. |
| |
|
|
Continue to pick up your luggage. |
| |
|
|
Gather all your luggage and proceed
to customs. |
| |
|
|
If you get stopped for inspection you
will be asked to open your luggage and the inspector
will search through it. Remember they are only looking
for illegal items. This is a routine inspection and
it should take no more than 10 minutes. |
| |
|
|
Continue to exit the arrival gate. |
| |
|
|
Make sure you have prearranged your
transportation to your hotel. If your transportation
is included with your package you will be greeted by
a tour representative. If you do not have transportation
included, then you MUST book your transportation in
advance. This is the biggest complain we get from the
arrival procedures, other than the long lines at the
immigration booths. We can not do anything about the
immigration procedures but, we can suggest you book
your transportation before your arrival to the airport
for a more efficient transition. |
| |
|
|
For passenger that DO have transportation
included with their package you may want to book a separate
transportation to speed up your departure to your hotel.
Tour packages tend to take the longest to depart from
the airport because a lot of people arrive a the same
time and greeters have to organize all of these people
into groups and then take them to their buses. If you
rather spend vacation time at your hotel instead of
trying to find the bus that is going to your hotel,
then prearrange a separate transportation to your hotel.
BELIEVE US WHEN WE TELL YOU THAT BOOKING YOUR SEPARATE
TRANSPORTATION IS WELL WORTH IT. |
