At the airport in Mexico City, as in US airports, there are screens that show which gate your flight will leave from, except that in Mexico City, that information generally doesn´t appear until an hour before the flight, or in my case, not until AFTER IT SHOWS THAT THE FLIGHT HAS LEFT.
This was mildly distressing, but a few older German travelers and I asked at an information booth and discovered that the plane was probably still there... probably. So, we ran to the gate, and proceeded to wait another hour and a half for our delayed flight to Chiapas.
On a brighter note, there was an exhibit about Mexican diversity.
Here's a cool visual of the indigenous language families in Mexico:
There was also a display of a photography contest for... Mexican infrastructure. I thought my ingeniera friends (Jessica? Julia?) would appreciate that.
And the best news of all was that my university advisor sent me an email that day informing me that - por casualidad - she was dropping her daughter at the Tuxtla Gutierrez airport at the same time my flight was arriving, so she and her son gave me a ride to San Cristóbal.
Lesson learned = everything is gonna be all right.
INFRASTRUCTURE!!!
ReplyDeleteI had a mini panic attack when you talked about the airport monitors and their delayed reporting.
