Airlines Halt Mexico Flights Amid Cartel Violence What's Going On

No Flights No Problem...Or Is It

Okay dolls so I woke up to this crazy news about airlines canceling flights to Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara. Like can you even imagine being stuck somewhere because of like *that* kind of drama? It's giving me flashbacks to that time I lost my earring in Bora Bora – stressful. But in all seriousness safety first right? The U.S. State Department is telling people to shelter in place. That's intense even for me.

Safety First Always

Apparently all this chaos started because the Mexican army took down some cartel leader dude named "El Mencho." I mean I'm all for law and order but maybe there's a better way to handle things less 'shoot out in his home state' and more you know peaceful negotiation? Though I guess peaceful negotiation isn't really their vibe. But anyway it's affecting everyone and Bitcoin's Wild Ride Continues: Is the Crypto Winter Coming seems less volatile right now. At least with crypto you only risk losing money not your life.

Airlines Doing the Right Thing?

Big props to Air Canada American Airlines Delta Southwest and United for canceling flights and waiving those pesky change fees. I remember one time I had to change a flight last minute and the fee was like astronomical. It's nice to see these airlines putting people's safety ahead of profit. It's giving me major 'be a good person' vibes you know?

Meanwhile Back in Mexico City...

Good news for anyone heading to Mexico City or Cancun though. Flights are still running there so you can still get your vacation on… just maybe avoid the Jalisco state for now okay? Maybe I should plan a trip document the whole thing call it Keeping Up with the Cartels or something like that? Ok maybe not.

Travel is Not Always a Luxury

For real though this situation highlights how unpredictable travel can be. You never know what's going to happen from lost luggage to cartel shootouts. Always have a backup plan a good travel agent and maybe a bodyguard. Okay I'm kidding (mostly) about the bodyguard. But seriously stay safe out there dolls.

Final Thoughts and Travel Wisely

So what's the takeaway here? Be informed be prepared and maybe stick to Calabasas for a while if you're risk averse. I'm sending good vibes to everyone affected by this situation. And remember even when things get crazy always stay fabulous. You know because that's what I do.
