AWWW YEA JUST MADE VACATIONS TO MEXICO EASIER, THANKS QUEEN
Hahahahah yes exactly you get it!!!! You’re welcome that’s what I was trying to do too!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! You have taken a lot of the unknown of this process and explained it well.
You’re welcome! This makes me so happy to hear that’s all I wanted was to create something helpful to utilize it especially if you’ve never used CBX before.
@@marileetravelshi! Can I use CBX If i’m just planning on staying in tijuana for 4 days and then return to san diego airport through cbx?? Basically avoiding the walk through border gates at the border
@@nguleyonhi so unfortunately you do need to go through the regular border line but it’s not that bad if you have global entry !!! It will be so much faster if you have global entry it will help you through border crossing fast to Tijuana and back to San Diego because you’ll go in the global entry/sentri walking line or if you get a car as long as you and everyone in the vehicle have sentri/global entry it will be quicker too but walking is fastest with global entry. Because with cbx right after customs you end up in the Tijuana airport. CBX is only a tunnel terminal that gets you from sd to Tijuana airport utilizing it and Tijuana airport to cbx. I really am not sure that you could leave TJ airport after using cbx since you have to go through customs they may deny it since there is no actual boarding pass. I promise it will be better to walk through the border plus you will save money not buying cbx ticket to cross. I hope this helps you!!
@@marileetravels ahh okay.. so basically to use CBX you need boarding pass to another airport. so would you recommend i just fly from houston to tijuana airport directly? and go through customs there?? i’m coming from Houston, Texas. 😃 and safe to get taxis? I’ll be female probably traveling alone
@@nguleyon Yes exactly since when you get there to the sd entry side you are going through it to get to tj airport. Yes!!! 100 percent if I were you I would fly directly from houston to tijuana airport. You really only need to utilize CBX if you are trying to visit san diego while you are here. Taxis are usually safe, but when I travel by myself in mexico i personally feel a lot more comfortable and safer taking ubers/lyfts, so I would recommend that vs taxis for extra safety as a female traveling alone. Especially because you can hold uber and lyft accountable for anything you experience in your ride where as taxis you can't especially in mexico.
Thank you very much.
@@clarissahopkins1148 you’re welcome so happy it helped you!!! 🙌🏼✈️
subscribed! I didn’t even know this was a thing 😍
YAYAY omg this makes me so happy to hear!! This is definitely why I wanted to share this so you all can start using it more and saving more money :) on travel utilizing CBX!
Very informative darling 🖤
Thank you so much I appreciate your support!
Thanks I was wondering if I could use my passport card I’m
Glad
I could thanks
You’re welcome. I think you can utilize your passport card, but I would still bring your passport just in case. Were you fine without your passport?
Very informative video Great Job! How much was the fee per person for staying longer than 7 days and also would I have to pay that fee again on the returning flight if purchased for a round trip?
thank you so much for watching and getting value from it! Since i havent stayed longer then 7 days i had to look it up since I wasn't sure and on this website: www.bajabound.com/before/permits/visa#:~:text=Requires%20a%20valid%20passport%20or,for%20up%20to%20180%20days it says its around Cost: $717.00 Pesos (appx U.S. $43) per person; FREE if the trip is 7 days or less and you cross by land
and i dont think you would need to pay the fee again going home, but im not 100 percent sure. its possible the city you leave from might have their own rules if staying longer then 7 days so just in case i would check that airport policy to be safe
This is my favorite way to travel within Mexico ❤️ don’t forget to bring your tequila from your trip!
Yesss I agree hahahahahahah you said it best!!!!!! Can’t forget that
Save money and time? Always worth it.
HAHAH exactly!!!! the 2 best things to save in the world!!!
Great video thank you!! I'm worried if I don't have the Sentri pass, it would take forever to get back. How much is the Sentri pass and where do you get it?
thank you so much for watching, if you dont have sentri you can get back faster with global entry at cbx, we have global entry so it helped otherwise we would have been in a longer line, if you want global entry you can get it through their website, and pay let me post link ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/ you can apply for global entry and sentri on this link if you plan to be driving to mexico a lot, if only utilizing cbx then you really only need global entry which costs- A $100Non-Refundable Application Fee
A $100 one-time fee is required with your Global Entry application and must be paid at time of application submission through the Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) system. You can pay by credit card or through an electronic bank transfer. , i have the chase sapphire reserve credit card so they pay for my global entry as part of the perk of the credit card. hope this helps
Hello, im a permanent resident of the United States i have my permanent residence card and im crossing from san Diego to tijuana to go to Puerto Vallarta and i dont have my passport can i juts show my permanent residency card and my califormia Id?
I found this link this will be better www.sandiego.org/articles/baja-california/crossing-the-us-mexico-border.aspx
U.S. CITIZENS AND LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENTS
When crossing the border back and forth between Baja and San Diego, you'll need to have a valid passport or other acceptable identification handy. When entering the United States, U.S. citizens are required to show passport, U.S. passport card, Trusted Traveler Program card (NEXUS, SENTRI, Global Entry or FAST) or an Enhanced Driver's License. Resident aliens must possess a green card. Knowing which ID to bring depends upon your method of travel (air, land, or sea). Voter's registration card, military ID, driver's license and social security cards are not considered valid forms of citizenship identification. For more information on the San Diego ‒ Tijuana border crossing, visit Smart Border Coalition.
When traveling by air between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean or Bermuda, you are required to present a U.S. passport, except as noted below. This applies to everyone including newborns, infants and children.
The only exceptions to this requirement are for:
U.S. citizens on active duty with the U.S. Armed Forces, traveling with military ID and travel orders
U.S. citizen merchant mariners traveling in conjunction with maritime business, with U.S. issued Merchant Mariner Document
Travelers with a NEXUS card used at a NEXUS kiosk at Canadian Preclearance airports
U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents with a Permanent Resident Card or other evidence of permanent residence status and required documentation; refugees and asylees with a Refugee Travel Document
I don't understand what that fee is for? It's not your airline, are they charging you to cross the bridge?
Yes it goes to the cbx terminal company to cross it to get directly to TJ airport from terminal because it’s allowing you an easier way to access TJ airport instead of crossing the border to get there
Any suggestions What I can do .
I need to escort my grandma but I am not going with her I just need to make sure she gets on the plane .
We are both us citizens .
She has passport
I only have my ID
She has her passport I only have my ID
I would highly recommend utilizing there airport security to help you. Normally they will provide wheelchair services and assistance for those who need assistance in getting to their gate and on the plane. Contact someone in the customer service department with TJ airport or cbx to make sure where you should meet them and if they can meet you to help you with your grandma so she will be in good hands or how far they will allow you to go to make sure she gets to plane with their help. I hope this helps. But you might need to bring your birth certificate with your id if they do allow you in airport since you don’t have passport but please double check with them so they do provide the correct info.
Hi, I just watched your video , very helpful, so, I was trying to make a reservation with Volaris from Tijuana to La Paz. when I typed Tijuana, it gave me to choices 1. Tijuana 2. Tijuana cross border express (TJX) , which is more expensive , I believe it's includes the paperwork to go through CBX already, can you confirm? If yes, is it easier to buy that ticket which already includes the CBX pass? Thanks in advance
thank you so so much for watching thats all i wanted was to help since it can be confusing if its your first time using it. yes if you buy the TJX one that includes cbx which is why its pricier so just do that if its easier for you. if you get it then you dont need to also have another cbx ticket since that will include it
So you have to have a boarding pass? Or can you just use it to cross without flying in or out
Yes you do need to have a boarding pass to access CBX you’ll utilize it and your cbx pass right when you are heading to TJ airport. It’s a terminal that takes you directly into TJ airport. But if you want to just cross to TJ without going to the airport it’s better to just cross and walk through the border.
Is this place new? I had no idea this existed
It’s actually been around for a bit now it opened in Dec. 2015 :) they just celebrated their 7 year anniversary last month! 🎉and that’s why I wanted to share more info about it so more people can use it :)
Do they ask to see your passport? Do they scan your passport?
You do need to have your passport. You have to show it when you go to security before they let you enter Tijuana airport. And I believe we needed it to scan in the beginning but you will need it.
Sounds like to avoid that you'll need to cross normally and take a domestic flight from Tijuana to another location@@marileetravels
yes if you are trying to avoid having your passport checked. But if you cross you will still need to have it if youre a us citizen. Are you trying to avoid having it checked completely?
I am. I had a friend who crossed Tijuana, took a cab then took a domestic flight to cabo with just a US ID. I would need to do the same@@marileetravels
how do you go from San Diego airport to CBX? are the two connected?
@hijodeadam You will go directly to cbx cross border Xpress bridge (you can type it it in when taking an Uber which is helpful) type Cross Border Xpress and this address 2745 Otay Pacific will be where you go. So the best way to get to cbx from San Diego airport is to Uber if you are trying to go to utilize cbx. Hope this helps
