Electronic cigarettes must be in carry-on bags, while alcohol and dry ice have restrictions. Always check with your airline for specific regulations.
The currency used in Mexico is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Travelers often find it convenient to use cards for larger purchases and in urban areas, but carrying cash is recommended for small vendors, markets, and remote locations where card acceptance may be limited.
In Tijuana, travelers should be cautious of petty theft, especially in crowded areas and markets. Common scams include overcharging by taxi drivers and street vendors, so using authorized transportation and agreeing on prices beforehand is advised. Avoid walking alone at night in less populated neighborhoods and keep valuables secure to reduce risk. Staying aware of surroundings and using official services enhances safety during visits.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
