During my lenghty on-line, live-chat with "Daniel" from MayAir last night, I came to the conclusion that buying a 2nd ticket is much cheaper than paying the overweight fees for baggage @ $3/pound. I have my dive gear and clothes in one bag (about 50# +/-) and my camera/housing/strobes in a Pelican case (about 50#) plus a carry-on. I was quoted $214 round trip for the 2-tix.
My biggest problem with MayAir is the schedule. I arrive in Cancun at 12:00 noon (direct from Toronto, via WestJet which is notorious for ON TIME arrivals and departures), and Daniel didn't think I should book onto the 1:00 flight to Cozumel. The next flight ot Coz is at 4pm, I think I can get a bus and a ferry for about $30 and arrive about the same time as the 4:00 flight. Can it possibly take THAT long to clear customs / immigration in Cancun? I would be surprised if the MayAir flight left on time anyway, but didn't want to argue with the poor guy on the live-chat. Thoughts??
