By Private Plane

    Taking a private plane into Mexico does not seem to be very popular, but perhaps it should. The flight rules are much the same as in the U.S. with some notable exceptions, like needing a flight plan for every flight and no VFR flying at night. Fuel prices are similar to those in the U.S. Airport personnel are very friendly and welcome private flyers and the controllers speak English. You don't have to get to the airport 2 hours early or go through a security check, and your bags always go to the same destination that you do.

    Viewing the Mexican landscape from the air can be a wonderful way to experience the beautiful countryside and see the many small, attractive villages and churches scattered across the country. See a trip log and photos from tomzap's 2008 Flight to Huatulco. Aerial photos of the Oaxacan coastline start here.
