smiddy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I suggest taking the plunge. After my experience in Cuba with this lot. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Stories for years. Probably the best way to introduce yourself to the group. I hope to be making my deposit for this Mexico trip in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought tickets for the home leg and have paid the deposit for the away leg, so I'm pretty sure I'll be doing the double. A Calgary - Van - Mexico City flight is marginally more expensive than direct from Calgary, so I thought what the hell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontPanic Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Still space available to sign up. Don't be fooled by the nice weather now, March will be cold and you could be in Mexico watching some soccer, wrestling some Luchadores, cheering for Canada, having some tacos....

Heather Lee Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hello! We're looking for a third person to fill a 3 occupancy room. Right now we have 1 male and 1 female, either sex for the third person is fine. To add: we have made the deposit and are 100% going! Thanks!

roue Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Starting some early research on TO - Mexico flights , so far $650 pp direct from Air Canada . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsC Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I don't have much relevant to say except that it is Christmas and all I can think about is my Easter trip to Vancouver & Mexico City. I wish Mexico would hurry up and confirm the location so I could book my flights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 No official press release yet on when/where the game will be played. I find this slightly strange. However the official twitter account of the Selección Mexicana has posted this (it confirms Mexico City as the venue): http://www.twitter.com/miseleccionmx/status/683018724719239168 FMF has the obligation to inform FIFA and the CSA of the match location at least 60 days before (in this case January 29th at the latest). For those people going, you'll be booking your flights by the end of the month for sure. http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/59/22/68/regulationsfwc2018russia_short_e_v210415_neutral.pdf (page 31 of 48 in the pdf) __________ For my part, I must sadly say I'm out. I don't have the funds for this one. 2015 was good to me: I went to 4 CanWNT and 4 CanMNT games. 2016 may not be so generous. If you can make it, you should go. Mexico City is amazing, Azteca is massive and the game will certainly be epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Seems like per that the venue has to be selected three months in advance (per 21-1) and the 60 day rule is for the kickoff time. So the CSA should know by now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've past Dec 29th. @DontPanic @admin should have Azteca confirmation from the CSA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontPanic Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 As of today Mexican Media (including Fox Sports) is confirming the game is at Azteca. I cannot tell you to purchase tickets based on that information. However should you wish to purchase tickets at this time please let me know your flight details. I wish I did have an official confirmation. The hold up is 100% not with the CSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsC Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 For those flying out of Vancouver has anyone given any thought to which flight you will choose? They all look pretty terrible (several stops, most arrive the next day). I'm leaning toward taking one of the cheaper flights with a long stop over in either Portland, Seattle or San Francisco but if a few people are travelling together I would be open to other flights.

I’m flying Delta via LA. Departs 6:20am from Vancouver, arrives 4:40pm local. Layover is 2 hours 30 on the way there, 4 hours on the return. It was the second-cheapest same-day option when I looked. I paid a little extra to save the one layover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one way price (I'm returning to Winnipeg instead of Vancouver) is $900 now vs $295 for the cheapest so I probably won't be able to do that one . You make a good point about only 1 stop though. The cheapest same day, 1 stop flight is $539 one way so I will have to give that some thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi riva Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I saw a flight from Toronto Pearson from Aero Mexico for 650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsC Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I made the leap and booked my flights to Vancouver and then on to Mexico. An Air Canada flight popped up today from Vancouver to Mexico (one way) for $350 with only one stop over so I Jumped on it. It feels very real now.

DontPanic Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 JAN 11, 2016 As of today I am now recommending that you purchase your airline tickets (or contact me to help you). If you are flying from Vancouver. I suggest the 6:00 AM departure that connects in San Francisco The flight #'s are AC 5110 connecting to AC 5402 You will arrive in Mexico at 6:18PM and the shuttle will be waiting for you. If you are flying from Toronto I suggest the direct AC 993 departing at 08:35 AM and arriving at 11:45 AM. The shuttle will be waiting for you. If you are flying from anywhere else, please try to arrive close to one of these times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
