Probably London or Amsterdam, there aren't too many options I think

No! they just asked me if I lived in Mexico and I said no, that I was only visiting family friends. 

In your opinion, do you think they could deny entry if we are not visiting family/friends in Mexico but only to self-quarantine ourselves before going to the US? Not sure how to formulate it at the POE...!

I think honesty goes a long way. And Ela was indeed also visiting family / friends.

Hi everyone! I'm very late to the party but just like most of you I'm waiting for the European travel ban to be lifted and in the meantime considering traveling to Cancún. As a girl alone I don't feel very safe doing that, so if there is anyone considering going to Cancún on the 18th of June and wanting to travel together, please let me know! 

Me!! But I will probably fly on the 16th! Where are you from?

I live in Belgium close to the borders with The Netherlands and Germany. Where would you fly from?

i’ve just spoken with KLM again, they said there must be an IT error because there are flights in June to Mexico from Amsterdam. Sorry for the confusion guys! i’m hoping i can now book it real soon. I’m feeling super nervous about the airport experience though!

be honest for sure! Other people were saying that they went there only to quarantine and it is completely valid for them too!

I would think going to visit family and friends could be considered a non-essential travel at this time. But if you show them your K1 visa and explain the visa is set to expire soon and you are going to quarantine for 14 days before entering the USA then it will be fine. As other members here already have experienced have your ticket to the USA handy to show as proof you are indeed travelling to the USA afterwards. Besides that on June 1st is when the country is trying to get back to somewhat normal level of business so the scrutiny should be minimized by officials.
