Stand by, SkyTeam members, and Mexico fans alike: two new U.S. routes for Aeromexico are coming your way. Let’s start with Mexico’s capital, Mexico City. From 5 June, Delta’s partner south of the border will be inaugurating flights from the city’s main airport (MEX) to Philadelphia (PHL). Capable of seating 160-166 passengers depending upon the […]

Hotel Review: Kimpton Virgilio, Mexico City
Disclaimer: In exchange for a hosted stay, I am writing this review of Kimpton Virgilio. After a nice stay that was coincidentally almost across the street, it was time for my first Kimpton experience. As the newest hotel in Polanco — it will be celebrating its 1st anniversary this February — the Kimpton Virgilio, an […]
Hotel Review: Las Alcobas, Mexico City
Disclaimer: In exchange for a hosted stay at Las Alcobas, I am writing this review. In the heart of the leafy and eminently walkable Polanco district, Mexico City’s Las Alcobas, a member of Marriott’s The Luxury Collection, is a gem of a boutique hotel. And I do mean boutique; at only 35 total rooms and […]
My Top Five Eats of 2023

Mexicana 2: Electric Boogalu
Speaking of phoenixes, it appears that Mexicana will be taking to the skies by Q4 of this year. Good thing I didn’t include them in this post. But before we get into the latest news, I have fond memories of flying with Mexicana, which was one of the world’s oldest carriers before it went belly-up […]
A Tale of Six Ceviche
Ceviche (seh-VEE-chay) — or, is it cebiche? — is one of Peru’s most famous culinary exports, although its origins are indeed a mystery. It might have stemmed from the Incas, who discovered that chicha, or fermented maize, could help preserve seafood. Perhaps it was the Spanish conquistadors from Andalusia, who introduced different citruses such as […]
Phoenix to Tijuana Nonstop, Coming Soon
Starting in 2024: Phoenix to Tijuana, nonstop. For the first time in years, Tijuana is getting a flight to the United States. But if you guessed Aeromexico Connect, Volaris, or Viva Aerobus, you’d have to guess again; more on this later. On 15 February, American Airlines is taking up the helm. More specifically, SkyWest Airlines […]
