Travel & Flights
Passports
Friendly reminder to please check your passport expiration date. Six months validity is recommended. At least 3 months validity beyond your planned date of departure is crucial.
Booking Flights
East Coaters: We have been told the best thing to do is fly to Mexico City and then Oaxaca rather than flying to Dallas first. This way, if there is a delay or cancellation in Dallas or another airport Mexico city has multiple flights to Oaxaca a day.
West Coasters: We recommend flying out of TJ! Hit us up if you have questions on the best way to do that.
Staying Healthy in Oaxaca
We can’t wait to celebrate with you in beautiful Oaxaca! To make sure everyone stays feeling their best, here are some simple tips to help you avoid any travel-related tummy troubles:
Water Safety
Don’t drink tap water – Stick to bottled or filtered water. The hotels and restaurants we will be in provide safe drinking water.
Use bottled water for brushing your teeth – It may feel extra, but it’s worth it!
Be mindful of ice – Ice in reputable restaurants and hotels is usually made from purified water, but if you're unsure, skip it.
Food Safety
Be cautious with raw foods – Stick to cooked veggies over raw salads.
Peel it or wash it – If eating fruit, choose ones you can peel (like bananas, mangoes, or oranges) or wash them with bottled water.
Street food is amazing, but choose wisely – Go for vendors with long lines (a sign of fresh food) and hot, freshly cooked items.
Immune System Prep
Prep your gut – A strong immune system starts in the gut. Bring Pepto / Imodium in case of any stomach issues.
Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water, before and during the trip.
Wash your hands & use sanitizer – A travel-size hand sanitizer is your best friend!
By following these tips, you’ll be all set to enjoy Oaxaca without any hiccups. See you soon!
