    Travel experience

    The check in was quick and smooth from cbx crossing border in San Diego to Tijuana. On the way back from Guanajuato bajío took way too long unorganized not a lot of help for the special services line so definitely go with more time other than that the check in was quick after I finally got help. Air line travel it self was great my pup did amazing no fuss and I was able to take her out and she slept on my lap and on an open seat next to me !
