    Question LAX to Cozumel via Hobby airport on Southwest Airlines

    I see that Southwest Airlines has flights from LAX to Hobby airport/Houston and to Cozumel. Was looking at flights mid April to May and see where the layover in Hobby is 1 hour and 20 minutes on Sundays and about 1 hour 5 minutes during the week. Is this enough time to change planes. Returning...

    Southwest into Cancun

    Has anyone used Southwest recently flying into Cancun? I have heard they are using the new Terminal 4. Does the ADO bus have a station there or do they stop at T4? In the past we have flown into T3 and it was easy to either get CVchief's private van guy or get on the ADO bus.

    We are arriving late 8:30-9:00pm on a Sunday night. Would like to know if there are any places for take out dinner close by the Aldora pier/Bahia suites hotel at that time. Appreciate any suggestions. I know Sunday night most places are closed down early. Will be way to tired to walk to far.

    DAN Insurance thoughts on your choices

    I have had DAN insurance at the Master level for quite few years now. Since I joined DAN, they have eliminated the basic plan which did not cover a whole lot and now they offer three plan levels with the master plan being the lowest one.

    It looks like Continental/United has raised their prices quite a bit from last year and now have stopped service from Los Angeles on Monday, tuesday, and Thursday. I need to find a decent price, (less than $600 would work), without a long layover, like 16 hours. Willing to try other airlines...
