I am really considering doing a mileage run through TIJ with a friend, but my friend is highly concerned about flying out to TIJ. So I went to the CBX site and everything sounds great. However, the reviews are horrifying. People are talking about 4 hour waits just to get through CBX.

Driving from LAX and hoping that 4 hours is enough to get through CBX seems a bit much. The process of dealing with a missed flight is even worse when you try to re-ticket:


I have 122K miles but need 3K MQDs to retain my Platinum status on Delta. Just not sure about starting flights from TIJ for a mileage run is worth the problems about getting over the border.
