Tijuana gets a much worse reputation than it deserves, but Juarez really is one of the most violent cities in the world. In 2011 these were the most violent cities in the world 1 San Pedro Sula Honduras 2 Juárez México 3 Maceió Brasil 4 Acapulco México 5 Distrito Central Honduras 6 Caracas Venezuela 7 Torreón (metropolitana) México 8 Chihuahua México 9 Durango México 10 Belém Brasil By Region they rank thus. Most of the times the violent cities are part of violent regions 1 Cortés Honduras 2 Yoro Honduras 3 Distrito Capital Venezuela 4 La Libertad El Salvador 5 Chihuahua México 6 San Salvador El Salvador 7 Escuintla Guatemala 8 Morazán Honduras 9 Santa Ana El Salvador 10 Miranda Venezuela The most violent regions outside of Latin America are South Africa. Tijuana does not make the top 50. |

Oh, why not? How many of these cities have strict gun control laws? Flame away. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I don't know much about gun laws, but it seems as if they are very strict in all of Mexico. In the case of Juarez it probably doesn't matter about the laws. I don't know what they are in Honduras. It's a country I know almost nothing about. Generally, my interest in guns is fleeting. I still have never owned one, and have no recollection of firing one. But like most people, I think I should probably learn. |

| theodores Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 2 Posts: 85 | I'm here now. I'd write more but I'm typing on a tablet. It's been nothing but superb since Ive been in Tepoztlan, Mor. The flight from Tijuana was a chore... Weather is great. Town is beautiful. Government designated "pueblo magico". Made tamales yesterday. |

I hope you had a decent evening in MC to make up for the flight. On your return you will have to give details, |

| Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | I'll let Ted tell you all about it when he gets home. But we did have a nice, if brief, time together today. We had lunch at the original El Café de Tacuba, in Tacuba street in Downtown Mex City, too. Unfortunately they were out of buñuelos with syrup. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Volaris now serves both Guadalajara and Mexico City from San Diego and Las Vegas. Volaris has now expanded to 20 USA cities which tops the 16 USA airports that Aeromexico flies to nonstop. Of course AeroMexico has connections to 44 other USA cities with Delta airlines. Volaris is growing by leaps and bounds. This September it carried 35% more passengers than last year. It is not a comfortable airline, but if you are looking for a cheap short trip to Mexico, it seems to be the way to go.  Interjet is now flying to 5 USA destinations (Las Vegas, San Antonio, Houston, Miami and JFK). It is a much more comfortable airline with plenty of leg room.  Viva Aerobus flies only Houston-Monterrey.  |

Volaris is trying to become Spirit
It packs as many people inside as Viva does, but it allows seats to recline. The advantage for ultra low costs in Mexico, is many of the more popular flights are scarcely 60-80 minutes long. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Spirit packs in 4 extra big seats than Volaris, but all passengers lose the ability to recline.
These four airlines are similar, in that they have similar fleets. They also are trying to expand the Low Cost Airline concept to the international North American market. A big component is the US-Mexican flights. All four airlines have fairly aggressive expansion plans. The US based airlines obviously have more airports to work with. Spirit has 7 focus airports and 50 additional destinations. Mexico practically has only 5 focus airports (MEX,CUN,GDL,MTY,TIJ) although Puerto Vallarta is one of the fastest growing airports in Mexico, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
