From Tijuana To Monterrey?

Question

I am an American citizen, and im planning on going to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon I know I cannot leave directly from Los Angeles because I do not have a passport. However I am thinking on Flying from Tijuana to Monterrey. Will I need a passport like that too, or are my ID and Birth Certificate enough?

Answer 1

From Tijuana to Monterrey you don't need a passaport 'cause it's an a domestic fly.

Answer 2

You will need an ID

Try to buy your tickets here:

www.volaris.com

www.interjet.com.mx

These are domestic airlines, cheaper and I think Interjet has a shuttle from San Diego to Tijuana. They have good service and cheaper.

Answer 3

If you are an American citizen, it would be worth your while to obtain a passport -- they will be needed for ALL travel soon (see the website link below).

I'm not sure exactly when you are traveling, but I've copied the most relevant portion of the US government website below:

"JANUARY 31, 2008

U.S. and Canadian citizens will need to present either a WHTI-compliant document, or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, plus proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. DHS also proposes to begin alternative procedures for U.S. and Canadian children at that time.

SUMMER 2008

At a later date, to be determined, the departments will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have either a U.S. passport; a U.S. passport card; a trusted traveler card such as NEXUS, FAST, or SENTRI; a valid Merchant Mariner Document (MMD) when traveling in conjunction with official maritime business; or a valid U.S. Military identification card when traveling on official orders.

The implementation date will be determined based on a number of factors, including the progress of actions undertaken by the Department of Homeland Security to implement the WHTI requirements and the availability of WHTI compliant documents on both sides of the border. DHS and DOS expect the date of full WHTI implementation to be in the summer of 2008. The precise implementation date will be formally announced with at least 60 days notice. "

I hope this helps.
