CDC Recommends Against Travel to Mexico
April 28th, 2009
The CDC has just released a statement suggesting that travelers avoid all non-essential travel to Mexico at this time. This warning has been extended to infected areas as well those that are not yet reported to be infected. Swine flu screenings have also been instituted at airports and land borders for travelers leaving Mexico in which passengers may be asked to submit to physical examinations. As a result, travelers may run into increased airport delays.
Many airlines are doing their part to help ease the pains of vacation changes and cancellations by eliminating their change fee (generally $150 to $250 per ticket) for those who change their flights to Mexico due to the outbreak.
As the situation is continually evolving, please check the CDC for the most recent updates (www.cdc/gov/swineflu). If you have plans to travel to Mexico in the near future, your travel planner can advise you of the options for changing your plans – it is possible that travel insurance will cover the changes/cancellation and this should be looked into as soon as possible.
