Can You Believe This Cheap Mexican airlines are taking Mexican right to our border for illegal immigration? MEXICALI, Mexico - Among travelers, it's jokingly known as Aeromigrante - Migrant Air. New discount airlines in Mexico are doing a brisk business shuttling migrants to the U.S. border, turning what was once a days-long trek into an easy hop for legions of workers, both legal and illegal. "It's much more comfortable than the bus and about the same price," said Leopoldo Torres, 37, of Mexico City, as he stretched his legs aboard Volaris Flight 190 to the border city of He and a traveling companion, Julio Menéndez, paid $118 each for the three-hour flight. They planned to cross into the United States illegally through the California desert. Such migrants have become bread-and-butter customers for airlines Volaris, Avolar, Alma, Viva Aerobus, Interjet and Click, all of which have started up in the past two years. Older carriers such as Aero California and Aviacsa have cut their own prices to compete. "The most productive routes we have are cities where you have those passengers who are traveling with the idea of the American Dream," said Luis Ceceña, a spokesman for Avolar. About 70 percent of Avolar's passengers are migrants, he said. For some airlines like Avolar, the emphasis on migrant travel was a conscious decision, with company officials structuring their routes and fares around migrants' needs, he said. For others, it was simply a side effect of low prices, which have opened up air travel to millions of poorer Mexicans. The airlines say they treat migrants like any other passengers. The Mexican government has promised to try to slow emigration by creating jobs in Mexico. But by law, Mexican authorities and companies cannot impede the free travel of their fellow citizens, even if they suspect they are going to cross the U.S. border illegally. Heading for the desert Travelers planning to cross illegally are easy to spot. At the Hermosillo airport, a major crossroads for migrants headed to the Arizona desert, they are the men traveling in groups of three and four, wearing new sneakers or hiking boots and carrying nothing but backpacks. "Altar! Naco! Nogales!" taxi dispatcher Javier Montaño shouted outside the airport as he directed travelers to vans headed to the main staging grounds for illegal border crossers. Because of the increased traffic, Mexican immigration agents now check the IDs of all arriving passengers, even on domestic flights, to try to catch Central American migrants headed to the border. In Hermosillo, federal police conduct spot checks on the vans before they leave the airport. "By law, we can't stop the Mexican (migrants)," police Officer Carlos Zequera Arias said. "But the Central Americans are starting to get on these flights, too." Falling prices Until the flood of discount airlines began in 2005, air travel in Mexico was too expensive for most poor Mexicans. A one-way flight from central Mexico to Tijuana ran $300 or more on the country's two flag carriers, Aeromexico and Mexicana. For most migrants, getting to the border meant days of travel on long-distance buses - or for the very poor, a harrowing and illegal ride on Mexico's railways while clinging to a freight car. The discount airlines cut costs by copying the business model of U.S. carrier Southwest Airlines. They fly out of smaller airports, make several stops on the same trip, bypass travel-agent fees by selling directly to customers, and concentrate on a few high-volume routes instead of a hub-and-spoke system. Typical fares to Tijuana from Toluca, just east of Mexico City, are now around $150 on the discount airlines. That has opened up air travel to millions of new customers, said José Calderoni, marketing director for Volaris. About one-third of the airline's passengers have never flown before, he said. Overall, the number of Mexicans flying has jumped 36 percent since 2004. About 13.4 million people took domestic flights from January to June, according to Mexico's Institute of Statistics, Geography and Information Processing. The discount airlines have been adding planes and routes at a breakneck pace. Avolar has grown from one jetliner and three destinations to nine with 16 destinations. Viva Aerobus has 21 destinations and plans to double its fleet to 10 jets from five. Interjet has nine planes and says it will order 20 more. Alma has 15 regional jets and 25 destinations, Volaris has 12 planes and 17 destinations, while Click has 26 destinations with 18 planes and six on order.

Air travel question ? Guess the "travel" time from JFK (New York) to Perth, Australia if you book it the long route? (answer below)... My wife Dot and I are starting a Home Travel Agency. We are joining a very large outfit that deals with folks like us who want a home business. I used to work for TWA (Trans World Airlines) 25 years. Before they were sold to American. My job was International reservations for flights, tours, and cars. One day I was playing around with the computer and (at the time) found 25 different airfares between New York City and Los Angeles. Reason being a person can naturally fly non-stop or change flights thru many-many different cities (called "connecting" flights). You can also combine 2 different discount fares and fly "back to back" (Let's use a make believe fare for an example) Let's say a normal coach ticket New York to Los Angeles is $500. But, if we combine a New York "discount" $150 route to St. Louis, Mo. (change our own bag's or better yet have a small carry on bag) and pick up a $200 St. Louis to Los Angeles trip. Yea-yea I know some of you are saying, "Hey, blah-blah-blah !!!" OKAY GANG how about the person who flys "EVERYWEEK" ??? Or every 2 weeks? Let's say Mr. Fly-every-week work's that job for 20 years ? Hey kid's... NOW WE'ER TALKING $156,000 OF OUR PRETEND MONEY GOING DOWN THE DRAIN !!!!! All of you can call the airlines and get real money if you want. My point is, I just want to show you folks how to save money. Yes, sometimes fares are around for a short period of time. One time TWA had a $33 special St. Louis to Chicago one way for about a month. Now I'm not supposed to ask for your business here in Yahoo Answers... BUT... I can help a "new" friend with travel information if he or she has an up and coming trip they need help with. My e-mail address is attached to this... what ever it is. All I need is your dates of travel to & from and a list of towns your going to with how much time at each stop. I figure if I can help make your trip a bit better thats half the game won. Your going to find as you call around to different airlines and travel agents (say maybe 10 or 15 or so) your going to feel like you just dug a hole 30' x 50' and 20' deep in your back yard. Some of those agent's can really mess up your head !!!! (Phew-phew !!) >>>> The answer to the question on top is... 39 hours 55 minutes ! As I used to say (almost 95+ times a day) "Thank You for calling TWA, my name is Tom"

Is this airfare discount website a scam or fraud? I'm looking for deep discount airfares. I Came across this website a few days ago. myairfaresecrets.com I Did some searching to see if it's bogus, and can't find much that's current. I noticed some typos in the site, and it says that the "special price" will expire soon, but it seems to have been at the special price since 2007. The LARGE amount of information on the site seems like a bunch of hype. The wild promises (free air travel/travel anywhere for $7) make me think .... SCAM! I'm wondering if anyone has actually bought and used this information to receive deep discounts or free air travel? Is it just an elaborate scam to grab your $25 bucks?

Is travel to Europe in late February worth it? I'm looking to utilize some air miles I have earned and noticed that if I travel to Europe in late February I can get a discount. I would be traveling to London, Dublin, and Amsterdam. I'll be able to save 30-40% of my miles if I do the trip within that time frame, which would allow enough miles for another trip in the future -- but at the same I don't want to make the trip if the weather is terrible and makes it less enjoyable to do activites while out there. Thanks in advance!

I need air travel advice.? In early Oct. I'll be needing to fly from Tucson, AZ to El Paso, Tx and want to know of any discounts, or suggestions.

One more thing: I for sure want the kind of tickets that I am guaranteed seats, not the kind where there "may not be any available seating"

Are air fares going up in April? I am planning to travel from Sydney to London at Christmas. New air fares are due out in April. I am concerned that there may be a significant price increase because of the GFC (less people travelling/flights cancelled those that are left are more expensive to run). On the other hand I have heard that there are new discount airlines entering this market which would bring the price down. I would appreciate it if someone with some inside knowledge on this could let me know if it would be safer to book now or not. Thank you.

What forms of employment give more opportunities for TRAVEL? I know one way is to work for fedex loading boxes. (Flight discounts.) Another way is to join the air force. (Fly free.)

How can I travel around Europe inexpensively? I am starting out in Amsterdam and then trying to make my way down to the Mediterranean coast (Spain, France, Italy, or the Greek isles...anywhere warm, relaxing, and not too touristy--I'm open to suggestions BTW) so I'm wondering what the cheapest way to travel is. Eurail, discount airlines (Ryan Air, EasyJet, Sterling, etc), renting a car...? My budget is around $250 (USD) per person, round trip (about 160 Euro). Any suggestions, experiences, or tips would be appreciated. $250 = my transportation budget, not my complete budget.

My husband wants to become a nurse through the Army or Air force. Is this advisable, will we stay together? We want to know if this is something to consider, or if he should discount this option. Our main worry is not being able to be together. We both love to travel, so I am more than willing to go to where ever he is, but I want to make sure this will even be an option. He is looking to get a scholarship through one of the branches, then work for them when he becomes a nurse. Any insight would be helpful, neither or us has really experienced military life before.

Do I have to use an approved car/booster seat on Alaska Airlines? I am booked on a flight on Alaska Airlines next year with my 1.5 year old. He is flying on a full fare adult ticket not a discounted infant fare (usually 1/2 price). Both our tickets are points tickets (Perth through to Vancouver on Qantas then Alaska AL). Qantas does not require a booster seat for children in their own seat, even if they are under 2 (ie. infants) so I was not planning on bringing a car seat as I am travelling alone and will have enough to carry as it is. I read on the Alaska AL website that "children travelling on 50% infant ticket seats must use a booster/car seat approved for car and air travel". I'm wondering, given that my son will be travelling on a full fare adult ticket whether he needs the booster seat? What will they do if I don't have one, not let us on the flight? Or, shall I just lie and say he's 2 - or just board the flight with him in his own seat w/out booster and they will assume is is two and not longer an infant and therefore no booster required.

Is there a Canadian airline that sells multiple-travel passes between Canada and Argentina? I want to move to Argentina long-term but my parents are not very excited at the prospect of really long periods of time between us seeing one another. I wouldn't be able to afford a $1500 round trip ticket as often as they would like, but I am wondering if there is an airline that flies between Canada and Argentina that sells multi-travel passes where I would be able to travel more frequently between the two countries and as a result get a discounted rate. I know Air Canada sells travel passes like this, but not to Argentina. I'm trying to figure out a way to put their minds at ease by showing that I'll be able to make it home more often than they are assuming. Thanks!

If you pay the discounted fare for an infant, do you get a seat for them? I already asked this in the air travel section, but didn't gt any answers... I bought tickets for me and my 3-month-old daughter to fly to Europe.The price of her ticket was 10% of mine. Does that mean she gets a seat and I can use it for her car seat, or did I pay extra just to be able to hold her on my lap? It's a Polish airline - LOT. And I know, I should just call them... tried once, but their automated system sucks.

This is an Economy question about changes in the airline industry.? Turmoil in the Airline Industry Even before the September 11 terrorist attacks, the major airlines were flying into stiff head winds. Slim to nonexistent profits, bankruptcies and buckets of red ink, poor service, late arrivals, overexpansion, frequent air-traffic control breakdowns, some of the worst labor-management relations in business, high fuel costs, a full-blown economic downturn, and the collapse of business travel had cast this industry into one of the worst periods in aviation history. Road Warriors Get Smart For years, the major airlines had succeeded in getting business travelers (road warriors) to pay premium fares by pampering them with special business-class seats and other perks. Business travel was their lifeblood. Sales of unrestricted fares and last-minute tickets generated about two to three times as much as economy fares and contributed about 70 percent of a major airline?s revenue. But with corporate profits hitting the skids in late 2000, companies put the brakes on travel spending. The corporate exodus hit the major airlines hard. Resourceful business travelers used substitute products such as videoconferencing or other transportation modes ? even if it meant putting up with inconveniences ? to reduce travel expenses. Some turned to the Internet to find cheaper airfares. Others moved their business downstream to discount airlines such as Southwest and Jet Blue. Major airlines tried to raise round-trip leisure tickets to make up for their lost business revenues, but fierce competition from discounters prevented them from doing so. Air Travel is ?Wal-Marted? Just as Wal-Mart did in retailing, the discounters of the air such as Southwest and Jet Blue are squeezing the major airlines from all ends. Low-cost carriers now account for nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic air capacity, up from 6 percent in the early 1990?s. They can afford to sell travel tickets for less because they have many cost advantages over full-service rivals. To begin with, they have younger fleets, which require less maintenance, and younger labor forces that aren?t tied to complicated, inefficient labor contracts. Moreover, low-fare carriers typically fly one airplane model, thus minimizing maintenance, operating, and training costs. By contrast, big carriers typically fly six or seven types of aircraft. And unlike the big guys, the discount airlines don?t operate expensive hub-and-spoke systems. Caught Between a Hub and a Hard Place Using a hub-and-spoke route system, major airlines scoop up traffic from smaller cities (the spokes) and funnel it through a few gathering points (the hub). This practice allows airlines to serve small markets and offer passengers more destinations and more frequent flights. But is also presents a logistical nightmare. It forces major airlines to schedule lots of flights to arrive and depart within narrow windows of time in order to minimize passenger layover times. This means that ground crews, such as gate attendants and baggage handlers, often sit idle between waves of connecting flights. By Contrast, point-to-point carriers, such as Southwest and Jet Blue, schedule flights as if passengers are moving to their final destinations. Instead of having planes and crews sit around and wait for passengers, point-to-point carriers maintain fast-paced schedules, which means minimal downtime for aircraft and fewer personnel on the ground. Turbulent Skies for the Bid Carriers Today, one in four tickets sold is on a discount airline. As pressure from low-fare carriers mounts, major airlines are reevaluating every aspect of their operations. The major carriers are undergoing radical change just to stay in business. They are experimenting with changes in costs, capacity, pricing, and product features in ways they haven?t seriously contemplated since the industry was deregulated in 1978. They are stripping billions of dollars from their operations by revamping their hub system, cutting jobs, eliminating flights, ending food service, and removing first-class seats, and by simplifying their fleets to cut training and maintenance costs, Some are replacing agents with self-service kiosks. Others are wrangling concessions from unions for huge pay cuts to reduce labor costs ? a major differentiating factor when you consider that in 2002 a United Airlines captain earned $9,000 to $11,000 more a month than a Jet Blue captain. Still others, such as U.S. Airways and United Airlines have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to reorganize their outstanding debt and lower their operating costs. In spite of their efforts, questions loom as to whether all the major airlines can survive. Even with huge cost cuts, all airlines remain susceptible to possible terrorist attacks, economic turns, or employee unrest. As experts claim that this is just the beginning of an industry-wide shakedown. After all, no airline can fly forever losing billions of dollars. Critical Thinking Questions 1. What s 1.

Does Anyone Know Any West Jet / Air Canada Coupon Codes I can use? I am booking a round trip from Vancouver to Toronto Departing April 26 and Returning May 3. I am just curious if anyone has had any luck looking for or finding coupon/promo codes which i could use to book this flight with West Jet or Air Canada. I have looked long and thoroughly through all of the coupon sites but they are mainly just advertising West Jet or Air Canada so I have not been able to come across any, (maybe some of you did :D?) also I dont know if there are any conventions or whatever which offer discount flights to during my travel dates ... (it isnt illegal if I was to use a coupon code from a business convention to get a discounted flight for those dates and then not even attend the convention is it ???? :S? ) Well thanks greatly in advance and I pray that someone is able to scrounge some up and offer them to me for use, wow it would be a wish come true :) Thanks again, ~Jon Johnson

How much in advance should you book your flight to get the cheapest air fare? I am traveling to NJ from GA for a family reunion. I need to be in NJ no later than Thursday, July 31. I was going to book my flight today (July 16) because I was told that most airlines require a two week advance booking for the best fares, also I have found that if you travel on Wedsnesdays the fares are cheaper. However, someone told me that most airlines have sales on Thursdays. However, that would only give me a 13 day advance booking. I have also been told that some airlines now only require a 7 to 10 day advance booking for the best fares. I'm getting a little confused with so much information. Also, could you supply some good web sites to find discount airfares. So far, cheapo-air seems to be the best one. Thanks.

Searching for a few dry, pleasant June/July destinations linked by a discount airline? Looking for a few dry, pleasant June/July destinations linked by a discount airline from Dubai I am spending the Spring in Iran, and in June I am changing flights in Dubai to somewhere dry, and pleasant serviced by one of the discount airlines operating in the UAE. My research shows Air Arabia flies to Almaty, Kazakhstan (near beautiful Kyrgyzstan) Lebanon Nepal All three of these destinations appeal to me but Nepal's rainy monsoon season begins in June, and I don't want to be there when it's raining. Lebanon, and Kazakhstan have the nicest weather during summer, but I think Canadians need a visa to go to Kazakhstan, like a real visa (pre-arranged at the Kazakh embassy either in Tehran, or Dubai). Also, it sounds difficult to arrange, and really expensive. Does anyone know the cost of 1 month tourist visa for Canadians going to Kazakhstan? I am only interested in Almaty, and then I want to cross the border to Kyrgyz, then Uzbek, and Tajik. I'd like to do a little circle, and end up back in Almaty again, only because Air Arabia flies from there. I could also be interested in a land crossing entering Tibet, but I don't know if that's possible for foreigners. Regarding a Kazakh visa, perhaps a 3 day transit visa is enough? See Almaty, and then hop the border to Bishkek? Air India Express flies Dubai to Amritsar, India, and I know India is HOT in June, but if I start in Amritsar, and head NORTH to Kashmir, maybe there is an international border/crossing (along with land transport) to Tibet? Of Course, then I need a Chinese visa/permit, and where to get that in Amritsar, or Kashmir? If I go to India, I prefer to go high in altitude because it is June, and I don't want to be at sea level, especially in a big city like Mumbai or Dehli. I just hope Northwestern India is relatively dry in June. Ok so Air Arabia, or Air India Express, and there are a couple other airlines flying to really HOT places like Phillipines, but since it's June, I didn't include any tropical destinations. So, please let me know which destination you think is best for June, and then from there, into the Summer. Lebanon, Almaty, Kazakhstan, or Nepal (rainy?) on AA or Northwestern India on AIA I also have the option of entering Turkmenistan, or Armenia by road after Iran (I think June could be a good time in either place), but Turkmenistan doesn't seem to have any Couchsurfers, which is how I travel. No hotels, ever. Let me know your thoughts about June.

Anyone work for US Air? I'm thinking about working part time in customer service because I travel very frequently and could use the employee benefits. Does anyone know what kind of flight discounts new part timers get? Thanks!

Last last minute deals on air fare? My wife and I would like to travel somewhere this weekend. She gets off of work today at 5pm and we are willing to go to the airport, with our bags packed and fly pretty much anywhere. I remember a long time ago, different flights would DEEPLY discount their tickets if you were there like an hour before take off. Do they still do that? Can anyone recommend how I could go about getting the cheapest flight prices for this weekend? way! they use to be called X-fares and they were primarily used by college kids and transient types that could fly at the drop of the hat. my buddy flew somewhere for $99 when the ticket was orginially $400. sure, he had to wear a flight attendant uniform or something, but who cares.

Are you looking for CHEAP Airline tickets??? Ok...here's the deal. Everyone seems to ask the same question 10,000 times...so here is the answer. You can start with the travel websites to compare and see what the airlines are offering. ALWAYS go directly to the airlines website to compare. Usually you can find better deals and avoid booking fee's. Also you will have a better choice of schedules and connections as well as non-stop flights. BEWARE of websites that advertise cheap or discounted fares. These are potential traps. These websites have restrictions on their tickets above what the airlines are. They are not changable for any reason and if there is a problem the airline will not touch them. Air travel is cheaper than ever and barely pays the cost to fuel the plane in the gate. So...quit asking where to find it and go look yourself. Find the airports website to see what airlines service the city you are departing from. Not all airlines use these travel sites like Southwest and Jet Blue for example. Ive used Kayak, Booking Buddy and other aggreigate sites and I still find better deals on the airlines website. Start with Orbitz, its owned by the airlines. Then go to the airlines website. Vacation packages can also be purchased through the airlines themselves as well and sometimes are cheaper and have better options. You have more flexibility booking with the airline itself should something come up and you need to change your flights for any reason. Pay attention to booking fee's if you use a travel site. Some rip you off!! You will NEVER pay these fees on any airlines site. Most are charging ticketing charges for calling reservations to book/pay or if you go to the ticket counter as well. If you are travel or computer illeterate and would like some help finding fares or flights, send me an e-mail and ill see what i can find. Include the cities, dates and a budget you are trying to stay in. I'll see what i can find and send you in the right direction. Sometimes Southwest is cheaper, but you have to act early to get their super cheap fares. Most times I find better deals on the major airlines. Book 30 days in advanced to have the best option for the discounted fares. The closer to departure time the more expensive the fare will be. If the flights fill up, expect to pay closer to a full fare. There are discounted First Class Fares that are sometimes cheaper or not much more than coach, so keep that in mind when looking especially if you are last minute shopping. And...CHEAP can come at a cost when it comes to the restrictions on these travel sites and be more hassle than its worth. There really isnt anything secret about fares. There are several offered, once the cheaper ones sell out...they go to the next fare level...its pretty simple. So...book early to have access to these fares. When booking, always choose non-stop, the fare difference usually isnt that much. It prevents any delays along the way or risk losing or delay or baggage. Saving $50 for a connection isnt worth it in the long run. You lose half a day in travel and then you'll spend more money because you will be buying food or shopping, well most of us do anyway. Try not to mix and match airlines especially if you check baggage, thats where it falls through the cracks. NEVER book Southwest and another airline to connect. They do not have ticketing or baggage agreements with any airline and if one flight is delayed, you are on your own for a back up. The fare sales will normally be out of high tourist cities and hubs like Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Cincinatti etc. Smaller cities that are the spokes dont go on sale. Know what airports are around your or within a driving radius. Check them as well. IF the cost of gas will supplement the difference in fares, consider those options as well. Also, know what airports are close to you incase there is a delay and you can be rerouted as a back up to get you to your destination or back home. For example San Francisco is co-terminals with Oakland and San Jose. Flying in and out of Toronto, you can save $100 in International fee's on top of the fare difference by flying out of Buffalo or making the treck to Detroit. Just weigh the cost of fuel vs the difference in fare cost. I stress going to the airports website to see who services that airport. Again, several low cost carriers do not participate in these travel sites b/c their fares are discounted enough, or so they think. And finally, no matter what website you use ALWAYS READ THE FARE RULES so you know what you are agreeing to before you pay for it. Yelling at the ticket agent, "I wasnt told that!" does you no good when its in writing, you just chose not to read it. Yes an airline can charge you for an extra seat if you obviously take up the size of more than one seat. Not all of them are strict about enforcing it because its a sticky situation. Southwest does however enforce this rule to the letter of their rules. Lost baggage...the airline has 7 days before you are entitled to any compensation. After 24 hrs, you can get $25 a day for necessities...not a full wardrobe. Wheels and handles are not covered as damaged items if they break off and yes your bag will get dirty or wet if its raining. Lock your bags and place a copy of your itinerary inside with all contact info including phone numbers and addresses. Check out the airlines contract of carriage if you feel you got bad service.

Which London airports Ryanair and EasyJet fly out of? Can you easily transfer between Heathrow and Gattwick? My wife and I would like to travel to Italy or France, but to reduce travel costs. I think it may be cheaper to fly from the west coast of the United States to London, and then fly on Easy Jet or Ryan Air. Most transoceanic flights go into Heathrow. But, I don't think that the discount carriers use that hub. Thanks for your help. Pauly
