How Long Does It Take To Get Back Across The Border?

I'm trying to book my flight and need to know how long it takes to get back across the border and to the airport?? Would a 11:45am flight be too early? My contact person at alighterme just gives me "that will be fine". I would like a little more information than that, so I am not worried about missing my flight. :(

  • 2bsmallagain, we were also going to drive (from KC) & I anticipated fuel would be less than $300 (3,400 miles round trip @ $3.75/gal, 45 mpg). BUT last night, on a whim, I found flights for $200 e

  • And I just checked again and the ticket prices r back up to $350-$400 each. Looks like I did okay, even if I have to pay for a night in a hotel.

  • It is $458 to fly from Tulsa to San Diego.. I'm still debating on this surgery.. I'm about 90% sure but just reading all I can.. All you guys help a lot ~

Does anyone know how the border is on a Saturday???

Uh oh.... I didn't know that & booked my flight last night & am departing San Diego at 6:15am!!! Yikes, I wasn't thinking about customs, etc. I hope this won't be a huge problem. Aren't the borders open 24/7?

who is your coordinator with Dr. Garcia? Ask her if they can make some arrangements so that you can catch that flight. Also check with whoever you booked the flight with to see if you can make changes since it hasnt been long since you booked the flight... its worth a try!

My coordinator is Christi & i'm in communication with her. I already tried to change flights but i'm out of the window to make changes :( Oh well it will work out i'm sure, I just get to stress out about it for awhile first!

Well hopefully everything will work out for you!!!

How much was it to fly because we are driving and it was way cheaper than flying from Oklahoma

My flight was at 1040 am on a Wednesday. We left the Marriott at 645 am. It took us about an hour to get from the hotel to the airport. I wish we had spent the night at a San Diego hotel the night before rather then stay in Mexico. If I had it to do over I would try and get the hotel switched with the company I booked my surgery with before I left.

I would def cross the boarder the day before. I was told not to book my flight before 2-3pm. I was glad as I was leaving at 6pm because we only had to wait in the airport in San Diego for about 90mins. There was quite a line to get through airport security.
