procedures.  Mexico follows these
procedures and might include a random
inspection of luggage.

early as possible after
shopping on the web for the best

hours at the Mexico City point of entry on

cushion. This leaves room for a delayed
flight or masses of arrivals trying to get
through immigration, customs, and
security.

Air Travel, Oaxaca: A trip to
Oaxaca comes with a few challenges
especially the change of planes in
Mexico city. The newly remodeled
airport  in Mexico City is nearly
finished, however, and the

connections
are better organized.
Still you must keep searching for your
gate and watching for the arrival of
your plane. The information kiosks
have friendly and helpful
English-speaking staff but the
computer system does not update
rapidly enough and the PA system is
not effective;  keep checking.
Save Money shop early on the  web for  itineraries and connections.
While shopping for air travel on the web will take a little patience and perseverance, the savings can be
significant.  
Adequate connection times will be important to keep in mind as will Security procedures.  Also important to

arriving.

flight.  The less expensive flights have long
layovers as much as eight hours.  In some cases
this makes what should be a one day flight extend
to two days.
