Ticket said TSA pre check, but then the TSA agent said that Alaska Airlines has not actually entered the pre check information for the ticket, so I had to use regular security. During boarding, I have a disability and need to board early. The Alaska Airlines employee announced disability boarding, but then immediately announced 2 other groups to board, so I still had to fight the crowds. On the plane, the stewardess was brusk and rude. Seats were very uncomfortable, especially on lower back.

Los Angeles to Cancún Travel Guide

Not just for spring breakers, Cancun is a premier destination for young and old, families and singles. Clear, sparkling water and miles of white, sandy beaches dotted with gently swaying palm trees beckon visitors seeking seaside serenity, while more adventurous visitors enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking and jet-skiing. There's no shortage of indoor fun as well, as Cancun is well-known for its vibrant and exciting nightclubs and features a host of world-class restaurants. Add impressive accommodations, never-ending festivals and ample indoor and outdoor shopping, and who wouldn't want to visit Cancun?

It may never rain in southern California, but it does in Cancun, with more than 10 inches of rain during a typical September - the region's rainiest month. However, rainfall during most times of the year is significantly less, especially from January through May when the average monthly rainfall is less than two inches. So there's plenty of sunshine, and with an average daily high of 82 degrees F during summer and 73 degrees F during winter, Cancun has a milder climate than Los Angeles. Gentle Caribbean trade winds ensure a pleasant breeze most of the year.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from Los Angeles to Cancun?

    You can fly more sustainably to Cancun by booking flights with the more eco-friendly airlines. Apart from this, you should always attempt to avoid layovers if possible. Layovers imply extra take-offs and landings and these are the moments of a flight that emit more carbon dioxide. Also, flying in newer aircrafts means the engines are newer and generally more fuel efficient than older models. Another way you can reduce your carbon footprint is by bringing with you a reusable water bottle and avoiding plastic waste that the bottles onboard entail. The lighter you pack the better as well. Try to avoid pushing the weight limit with your luggage since the more the aircrafts weighs, the more fuel it’ll need to make the journey, releasing more carbon dioxide in the meantime.
