It looks like Lufthansa is planning on adding more flights now according to demand.

If there's a Schengen-ban, there's not going to be a whole lot of demand.

Cancun sounds nice. Is it safe? It is not the usual tourist season. Many people may not be employed, times are hard.

I've been to Cancun 4 years ago for my 40th birthday. I felt pretty safe up there and is more appealing to me than Mexico city 🙂

Me and my fiancé booked a hotel in Mexico city on Booking yesterday from the 18th to the 20th of May. There are definitely hotels available to book even though many are closed. I think the available ones are actually cheaper than usual as well. We got a pretty nice 4* hotel in a really safe area for like 80€ total for the 2 nights

The cases of corona virus are climbing in Mexico and has not reached a plateau as of yet. The US Consulate there has issued a health alert advising US citizens of the situation. Something to watch in the next few days. 

 

On another note tourism in Cancun is set to go on starting in June according a news article I recently read. 

 

May 15 is date to look for and see how countries around the world will deal with further loosing of travel restrictions.

Next time I run into an web article online, I will post the link. Sorry I was not doing that before. Otherwise, it would appear as speculation - I am aware.

That's okay, I was referring to the fact that there aren't official dates. Any dates currently out there are just speculation.

It did hit peak this weekend according to the news here (I’ve been watching them). New cases have been around 1.8k and around 200 deaths for the past days

I am going to enter Mexico on May 21st. Luckily, my fiancé is Mexican and has tons of family I can stay with. 

Currently waiting for the reply of CBP in San Francisco to see if they would actually let me enter the U.S. after 2 weeks in Mexico, but as it seems right now, there should´nt be an issue. 

I guess I'm going to print out all kinds of government webpages to proof that I'm actually allowed to enter.

 

Wishing everybody here good luck!

Good luck!!! What is the CBP? Customs and boarder control ? How do you get in touch with them?

Go to the website of the airport you are planning to enter the U.S.

They should have some contact information

Here's the current "rules".   Yes you can come from Mexico.

Hey! Sorry for jumping on this thread, but I'm also going through something similar. I was issued an L1B visa at the start of the year and I was meant to start my job in April. My start date was pushed back to June 1st, but as each day passes this is also looking really unlikely. I keep reading speculation/fake news about the potential for non-immigrants to be blocked entirely from entering the US at some point soon, which is making me nervous about my future in the US. I'm based in England and I'm looking at alternative routes into the US. Similarly to a lot of you, I'm considering Mexico to quarantine for 14 days but have no idea if this is actually going to be possible. Trying to work out how long to leave it before booking a flight, just in case it looks like things will open up instead! 😨
