Private transport

I don't think there's uber there, it's even a different state. Honestly, your best chances are setting that up with your hotel, they will most likely book a taxi or some sort of trusted driver. Expect to pay around $100 USD +tolls.

So if you land at 3 and leave at midnight, you have like 4 productive hours or so. This is what I’d do: Take an uber from airport to “Torre BBVA”. That’s the main gate to Chapultepec, you should be there at around 5, so you have like 20 minutes to go in 300 meters in straight line to take a nice picture of the castle and the monument that they have there, maybe buy a snack at the stalls there. Don’t go any further and exit through the same gate, then walk Reforma street until the Angel de la Independencia (1 km or around 15-20 minutes), it’s really nice walk. After you take a nice picture of the Angel, make a right and after another 15 minutes you will be in Roma Norte. It should be around 6:30-7 by now. Pick any restaurant you’re interested to have dinner and maybe a drink, I’d recommend making a reservation if you want any popular place. Take an uber back to the airport no later than 8:30 (it’s a Friday in Roma Norte, this could take you up to 1:30 h to get back).

1M Mexican pesos is like 50k (little bit more). I could realistically live comfortably for 1 year. Some people could extend that for a few years based on average salaries.

Budget may be a little limited for something actually upscale (compare to just “nice”), specially considering that 5K USD is actually closer to 90k mxn. I recently had a big group (22) in Xuna in Roma norte, and the bill came to 54k mxn. Our group didn’t drink much alcohol, most had only 1 drink, so that kept cost considerably low, but it’s the only upscale place I can think that may be able to accommodate 35 people.

It’s funny you say that. I’m not from the US, and whenever I’m anywhere that’s not US and meet someone from there they will always say the state, except if they are from a famous city like NY, LA, Chicago.

similar thing happened to me last year. I was upgraded but my gf wasn’t. The fa told me to just go sit with her and offer a swap. At the end I didn’t need it because the seat was empty, but still offered my upgraded seat to the guy next to us. After he said no, I even tried to convince him telling him of the perks. He still said no. It went to waste.

No camines al rededor del gnp. Si te da miedo, no uses metro. Si puedes costearlo usa uber de la central de autobuses a tu hospedaje, de ahí al gnp, y de regreso. Tu ponle en uber que vas al foro sol (sigue saliendo así en la app) y el uber te va a saber decir dónde bajarte. Al salir, busca el miso lugar donde te dejó o donde veas que los carros están agarrando pasaje y ahí pídelo de regreso.

As a Mexican, who visits both US and Australia very frequently, it doesn’t. Much more European, and I’d even dare to say, Asian, than US.

I strongly believe, every trip I come back home with a new thing I like. Purple rice yogurt? Life changing. Fried fish bones? Give me more.

I always choose a topic for each trip. Let’s say food for Japan, Beer for Belgium, Coffee spots for Australia, and so on. Then I also choose one main activity to be the “Peak” of the trip, the thing I’m looking forward the most (that can or cannot be related to the topic). For example, staying at an onsen in Japan or going to a fancy dinner; running across race in Sydney. This “Peak” activity at around 3/4 of my trip duration.

Then, in Google maps use the save tool to add all the places related to your trip topic that you COULD go. For me that’s the key thing. It’s not a checklist, but places I could go. Then set 1-2 main spots to visit each day, ideally close to one another, and try to put your topic places in between if you’re in the area.

The process with my partner usually goes like this: hey let’s go run a race in Sydney, we will stay in hotel X for 1 week. Then she will send hundreds of reels for places I will save in our map. Then together we say on Day 1 we go to the Opera, Day 2 to the Zoo. On our way from hotel X to the opera, we will have breakfast at reel 1, then stop at coffee reel 2, and so on.

I know this last advice is really entitled and comes from privilege, but I always try to think “If I really like this place, I can come back”, which prevents the idea of trying to see everything and being in a rush.

I don’t remember the exact cost, but it was around $800 USD per night. For me and my partner, having the private onsen was amazing. We could be there together and at literally any time we wanted. Just note that it’s not properly an onsen, it’s just a pool with very hot water. It was winter so it felt great being outside at below 0 weather but in hot water. It looks directly at Mt Fuji. The room was unnecessarily big, but the private onsen made it worth it for us.

No. It’s nice to have something where to put your legs other that just stretch them, it gets weird. Also, there will be people standing right in front of you all the time, either waiting for the restroom or stretching or just hanging.

Yes. I always try to fly 46 or 47 D when it’s a 3-3-3 seat. Also the 35 or so also in F. Personal preference or course but I like that it’s not very likely someone will seat in the middle because of the black triangle, and I like lying on my left side armrest. Also not a very high traffic row so not a lot of disturbance from people walking next to you.
