You will probably be taking a bus from the airplane directly to Immigration. Once through immigration you will pick up your bags
and head for the exit.

Just before the exit to the street you will see the taxi stand. As in Zihua, you will be charged according to which zone you are going to. Tell them whether you want to go to the Old Bus Station or The New Bus Station, and they will charge you accordingly. As in Zihua, you will be givin a slip of paper to give to the taxi driver. The whole process is very simple and straight forward.

We're in Guadalajara now for the International Mariachi Festival and the National Chariada Championship. It's always wonderful to be in Guadalajara, but this is especially fun. We're in the same hotel as Vargas, America, and Nuevo Tecalitlan, so often have breakfast with some of them. Pretty nice.

Remember when Aero Mexico started using the new terminal and what a mess that was. The first and last time we flew into the new terminal in MC, there were no directions that you were to take your bags up stairs plus the drop off room was not marked. We were great full someone that spoke English and pointed us to the right room. We were in a snake line and the same person came by pulled us out of the line and had us go straight to the drop off. Different people on the flight from Chicago that morning was remarking how each time they had flown into the new terminal the drop off had changed. We had not been told that we would go through Immigration and pick up our bags- good thing Immigration was slow for we saw our bags being brought in. Flying Mexicana your bags were picked up in "Z". Those were the good old days. We have been flying United ever since.

We have entered through Guadalajara. It's pretty painless. Signage is not the clearest but there are people to help.

The only confusing part was the bag recheck. It's a bit hectic but if you look confused, someone will help you negotiate the routine. It's easier than Mexico City.

Airport to main bus station is probably about 10 miles. Taxi's are usually metered, so explore options.

I will be flying into Guadalajara on my next trip down. The thing I am concerned about is that I am flying in alone and I have never flown into this airport before.

Any advice on getting thru the process there and does anyone know how far it is to the bus terminal. I need to catch a bus to Morelia.

Thanks in Advance
