Elissa had an easy experience with Chopo when she went home, so that's where Brent and I are heading for our "swab up the snoot" this morning. Elissa got a coupon after she had her test, so she's sent that to us. Be nice to get a few bucks off, but if it doesn't work... meh.

Our flight leaves Mexico City at 9:05AM, and our Antigen test needs to be within 24-hours, so we hustled down for exactly 9:05 because I need to be at a meeting at 10AM. We got there and waited in line for a bit, then the lady told us they do the Antigen tests, but only after noon, so come back later.

We went back after 1PM and got the swab treatment. It was easy. The hardest part was trying to function with our dismal Spanish.
I am SO OVER Aero Mexico! When we came down we couldn't check in ahead of time because their stupid website didn't recognize/accept the first leg, which was with their "partner" (very dysfunctional relationship), WestJet.

This morning, I sort of hoped it would work going the other direction... at least for the Aero Mexico legs, but nope. When I try to check in on their website, I jump through all the hoops then at the very end it just says "oops an error has occurred please try again". Grrrr. So, then I downloaded their app and tried to check in with that. Jump through some hoops, get to the page where you can indicate checked bags. There's a fee for that, so I fill out the payment info... three times... it won't proceed. So, I checked us in without a checked bag, and it let me do that but it only gave me boarding passes for MEX-YVR. Our first and third legs... no boarding passes. Checking in ahead/online is supposed to be a convenience. There is nothing convenient about this.
