As an American Citizen can I purchase a one-way airline ticket within Mexico?

Question

I am planning on walking across the boarder and flying on a one way ticket with-in Mexcio because it is so much cheaper and I am purchasing and old car and driving it back. Does anyone know if it is legal for me to by a one way ticket within Mexico as an American Citizen on an American Passport?

Answer 1

Dude, you are an American! You can travel nearly anywhere you want with little more than your passport and a pocketful of $100 bills which you can easily convert to peso, won, yen, etc...

Answer 2

Sure. The airline won't care, just go to their web site and buy the ticket.

I would be more concerned about getting from the border crossing to the airport, since the border crossings I know aren't within walking distance of airports, and in particular finding out what you need to do to import a Mexican car into the US. You can expect some pointed questions at the border as a US citizen showing up driving a Mexican car.

Answer 3

Yes, of course you can puchase a plane ticket while you are in Mexico.    You may have more problems with purchasing a car in Mexico and importing it into the U.S.  See articles below for requirements and customs info.
