I'm in Mexico-City!

 

Honestly still can't believe that I'm here. Stumbled upon this thread 3 weeks ago and now I actually did it. Thank you to all the people for your continuous support. 

 

Here's how it went:

Flight was packed, like as if there is no pandemic going on. Insane. KLM's service is great. Long flight but I had extra leg room so I was good hahaha. 

Then came immigration. Long line. The lady asked me why I'm here and for how long. I said I was staying with a friend for 2 weeks and then I'm flying to the US. Didn't have to show anything. Super easy and super relieved it went that smooth. 

Hey where did you fly from exactly and how the check in there? Did they ask you any questions at all about why you travel to Mexico? Also where do you stay in Mexico city? Actually with a friend?

Thanks so much. So you need to quarantine for 14 days to enter US.

Exactly.

Thanks so much. But I think there are no flights to Croatia from Switzerland. I read that their borders are closed until 15 June. How do you get to Croatia from Zurich ? Secondly do they have flights to US ?

I read somewhere that you are talking to some one regarding the flights. Can you share the contact of whom I can call and check on the flights ?

Quick one for clarity - somehwere on this thread it mentions it but I cannot find it.

Regarding the 14 days.... if I landed in Mexico in the 28th May - can I fly on the 11th to the USA?

 

28 29 30 31 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 - over 14 days?

 

Thx

Are you talking to me? I am from Germany and I know that there are flights from Frankfurt and other cities in Germany to Croatia. I don't know about Switzerland.

Hi- is anyone crossing into the US from Mexico this week?

 

@LaraAndEric have you entered the US now?

 

My flight Is on Wednesday and 2 weeks feels like a long time I’m Mexico with Covid numbers rising and rising. Really worried about further border closures.. I’m praying they’ve reached their peak now...

I think so- I hope so as I am also doing the same 15 days. Arriving 10 June in Mexico and entering the US on 25 June.

Sorry my mistake, you need 1 extra day. 
 

Proclamation states if you were present in a banned country ‘14 days prior to your entry or attempted entry’. If I count backwards from your expected entry date, I arrive at the date you were still present in the U.K.

That's great!!! Please let me know if everything works out! Will you stay in Zagreb? When is your flight to the US?

[Laku 5]

Thanks so much.

I thought that Croatia has closed it's borders till 15 June. This is good news that you are able to fly.

How frequent are the flights from Zagreb to US?

Yep you need 14 full days in a non-banned country and exclude the days of arrival and departure.

It is a risk that no one knows how it’ll go. South America in general is currently rising. US might be too distracted though with their current internal problems and protests.
