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

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 each including insurance. My mom is going with me, so for $400, we shaved several days off our trip & paid about the same or less by the time you factor in hotels. I just knew it was too good to be true!

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

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.

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!!!

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.
