American Business Class to Mexico City

At 40 minutes before departure I headed downstairs to convenient Gate 40, located just across from the Admirals Club entrance.  They were already boarding Group 7 by the time I arrived.  Full flight today with lots of gate checked bags.

AA's dreadful new cram-em-in Oasis seating.  Flimsy seat with no seat back video.  This is a seat for 90 minutes max, not nearly four hours like today.  Ugh. 

Another gorgeous morning in Southern California.

Every passenger gets an AA baggie of water, Biscoff and sanitizer. 

Open bar and sandwich bag.

Turkey Sandwich and chocolate chip cookie.  Tumbler is from my DIY travel kit for crappy US3 domestic flights.

Turkey sandwich was actually edible.  Much better than what UA or woeful DL offers.

Interesting scenery on descent to MEX.

Wow, there's a lot of people here... over 20 million in the metro area... 

The long, long trek to Immigration. 

Yikes.  This terminal has seen better days.

The foreigner queue wasn't too bad... much better than the mob scene last year in Cabo. 

LOL at these three dudes in full head-to-toe hazmat gear.  Sheesh.
