What is the process you go through when you land in the airport located in mexico city from the u.s.?

Question

And at what point in the process do i meet with my family?

Answer 1

they separate passengers into 2 lines. americans go into line 1 and all non-americans go to line 2. those in line 2 don't have to go through customs, they are even given free meal vouchers and free transportation to the hotel. those in line 1 however need to go through customs and if they pass inspection (which nobody ever does) they get off relatively easy; they get one slap in the face. assuming you will most likely not pass inspection you then go to "el cuarto" where you are raped, robbed and forced to accept the Virgin Mary as the one and only God (blasphemous! i know...) 3 hours later you are released on bail, if you can afford it (you're an american, of course you can) and then you are on your own. just make sure you watch out for kid hookers and of course white mexicans!

best of luck !

Answer 2

You get off the plane, go through immigrations ( passport check) then claim your luggage and go through customs where you may or may not be required to open your bag for inspection

Answer 3

You:

get off the plane

walk through the airport and provide the Immigation official with your passport and your FMT which you should have received and filled out/signed on the plane before landing

proceed to luggage pickup and pick up luggage

proceed to baggage checks where your baggage is scanned

pick up luggage and press the stop sign (green means proceed you are cleared to go and red means you need to have your luggage checked)

proceed out of airport

**If you are meeting your family in Mex City: there is a waiting area (in the Arrivals section) out the door just past the last checkpoint.

Answer 4

Hearty has been thru this as many times as I. Please be aware they have a new terminal. Nice , clean and open. the old terminal's line for customs is anthing but structured. It winds and winds and is difficult to find the end of.

If your going thru the new terminal the yellow taxis and vans can shuttle you to the old terminal for free.
