Mexico Flight Information and baggage rules
1.
The meeting place and time of departure will depend on the airport you will be
departing from. Your pilot will contact you a few days before departure with
specifics. Normally our departure airport is El Monte Airport at the corner of Tyler and
Santa Anita Ave. We meet in the terminal building at "Annias Kitchen Restaurant" or in the lobby
2.
Please eat breakfast prior to flight, and please use the restroom JUST before boarding planes. Small planes have no toilets.
3.
Please limit liquid intake the morning of the flight as some flights are up to 4
hours without a bathroom break.
4.
If you have motion sickness issues please consult your local doctor prior to the trip, and notify your pilot so he can have "sick sack" ready in case you become ill. This is a rather rare occurance on our trips.
5.
Most flights arrive at the destination airport around 1pm on Friday and depart around
Sunday morning. California flights usually arrive home around 4-5pm, while
Colorado travelers should plan on arriving around 5:30-630pm
6.
Please follow your pilot's instruction through customs and immigration. DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSPORT. Leaviing your passport at home will result in staying home and forfieting your fees for the trip if your passport cannot be retrieved within an hour.
7.
Please do not pack anything that you would not take on a commercial flight. No
firearms/explosive devices please. Take SMALL personal liquids and place them in zip lock bags for cabin pressure will surely make them leak
8.
These planes are limited in the amount of weight they can take. PLEASE pack as
lightly as possible with a 20 lbs. maximum using a soft duffle type of bag or soft backpack.
9.
Your full personal bag (not including sleeping bag) should weigh no more than 20
pounds and be highly COMPACT, in order to have sufficient room/weight for equipment and supplies. If you have questions about how much the bag weighs, weigh yourself holding the bag. The SIZE of your sleeping bag must be very compact as well. Sleeping bags need to be compressed to less than one CUBIC FOOT, and pillows should be small and/or compacted as well. Small fleese sleeping bags are available at sports stores for about $10-$20 and work well for warmth and very compact.
10. A small AA or LED flashlight for night reading and walking at night is a good idea; snack food is okay, such as jerky, nuts and non-crumbly snacks. Do not eat in the airplanes if you can help it, pilots find sticky bilogy experiments weeks later from passengers who ate and ran.
11.WHAT ABOUT FLYING IN A SMALL AIRCRAFT?
If you are flying in a 4-6 seat airplane, as with any form of transportation, you are
assuming certain risks, however your safety is of utmost concern to us. Please be advised
that it is the sole responsibility of the pilot-in-command to determine if the weather
conditions present or forcast are safe enough to warrant the flight. There is a possibility
that the departure and /or the return flight(s) may be delayed, postponed or completely
canceled to assure safe operations. Each passenger should recognize that such delays may
occur and should prepare for such a possibility with home or work.
If you have any questions regarding your flight please contact Dr. Mike Budincich at
"...but those who wait on the Lord shall regain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary." Isaah. 40:31 NKJV
