Fuck Mexicana Airlines

Last week I took the family to Isla Navidad, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, about 30 miles north of Manzanillo, or about 1500 miles south of the border.  Wonderful vacation at a beachside resort.  We decided to celebrate my son's birthday during our vacation, and secretly brought down a Wii for his present.  My two boys joyously played Lego Starwars while my wife and I drank Margaritas on the deck.  On Sunday we packed up the Wii and the rest of our luggage and headed home.

We arrived late Sunday night at LAX and watched the baggage carousel go 'round and 'round, but our luggage never came.  After two days of searching, Mexicana Airlines delivered our luggage to our doorstep tonight.  We opened our bags and discovered they had been raped somewhere along the way.  The Wii, my iPod portable stereo, my wife's makeup kit, and a bunch of clothes were missing.  In total, the Mexicana luggage rapists took $1140.00 worth of our stuff.  Mother fuckers, I want to kill them.

In case you're wondering why we checked the Wii instead of carrying it on board, Mexicana allows only one carry-on per person, and I also had my computer, three cameras, Iridium satellite phone, and other valuables in my backpack, so I had to stash the rest in my suitcases.

Never fly Mexicana Airlines.  The food is crap, their customer service sucks, and oh, they steal your shit.

No, I'm not dissing the Mexican people.  I love Mexico, and everyone else we dealt with on our trip were wonderful people.  Mexicana Airlines just hires thieves.  Next time, we'll pay more and fly Alaska Airlines.
