MEX and GDL layovers
My company used to have 24hr layovers in MEX and GDL but stopped a couple of years ago saying it was not safe. Now we do all night turns from LAX and SJC. Does any have regular layovers there? Where do you stay? How long? Do you have time to go out and explore? Any security issues?
I always enjoyed them and never felt threatened. I always went out and explored. Thanks |

Stick to the Hawai'i layovers.

I don't wear my big pilot watch or pilot looking leather jacket. The best thing you can do is ask the hotel where the best places to go are but nothing is ever a sure thing. |

Just went to GDL. Stayed at the Presidente Intercontinental. Not bad. Bed rock solid as usual. Internet didnt work in the room. Nice hotel. Think it is safe around the area?
