Have fun in GDL! I'm a little jealous. After driving down to Tijuana and Rosarito last weekend for the first time in a few years, I became rudely aware again how much of a mess that area is. My boyfriend, who had never been and whose family is from GDL, was more or less mortified. Can't wait to try and drag him down there some weekend soon with these great fares.
What's striking is that on a $200 RT fare, you're looking at $35 base each way. Not much for them to keep on a trip like that.
Even if you booked an award trip, you'd probably be out close to $100 in taxes/fees if not more.
