Sheer luck, but I actually met them in Miami Beach many years ago
Great guys, both smoking cigars.
No, I'm in San Diego nowadays. Which is why I'm well attuned to the bargains available flying to Latin American destinations out of Tijuana.
I paid under $150 for my round trip ticket to Cabo last week on Volaris. Out of San Diego, it would have cost over $300 on Alaska, or over $250 out of LAX on AA. I have another ticket in April back to Cabo that cost me under $115. Tickets from TJ to either Mazatlan or Puerto Vallarta would be similar in cost to those Cabo tickets.
Sadly, the added costs of using CBX would substantially reduce those savings - but going through San Ysidro and skipping CBX avoids those added costs, albeit at some loss of convenience.
