ZIH Airport customs
I’ve been coming to Zihuatanejo since the early 1980s. I flew into ZIH for over 30 years.
I started coming through MEX a few years ago after several experiences of what I thought were unreasonable duty charges at ZIH. Although the flights/connections are less convenient, I appreciate the customs experience at MEX much more. It is pretty unpleasant starting a stay in Mexico feeling like one has been taken advantage of.
My previous experience was endorsed in October 2022 when a friend arrived at ZIH and had a similar experience to mine.
Really, is picking up an extra $50 in duty worth alienating a person from returning to Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa?
