Passenger, mail, express, time table: to Mexico, October 15, 1942

              Schedules, fares and Information in this folder are subject to Official Tariffs and Government Regulations. All subject to change without notice.
PASSPORTS AND TOURIST CARDS:
Native-born and naturalized U. S. citizens entering Mexico on business, or with the intention of remaining longer than 6 months, must have a U. S. passport and a Mexican Consular visa. Native bom U. S. citizens entering as bona fide tourists, for a period of less than 6 months, may enter with just a Tourist Card. If just passing through Mexico, they must have a Transit Card. Either card is obtainable at any Pan American office or Mexican Consulate, the fee being $1.05. In all cases they should carry some proof of U. S. citizenship for re-entry into the U. S.
ENTRY AND EXIT FORMALITIES: These are very simple and in most cases require but a few minutes per passenger. Mexican and U. S. Customs officials examine baggage and papers on entry and exit.
CENSORSHIP: All written, printed, and photographic material, phonograph records and any other tangible forms of communication are now subject to U. S. censorship, certain of the foregoing requiring licenses from U. S. Office of Censorship. In addition licenses are also required for certain other articles or material taken or sent out of the U. S. Full information can be secured from any district U. S. Customs office, any district office of the Bureau of Foreign & Domestic Commerce and from the Board of Economic Warfare, Washington, D. C. MONEY: U. S. and Mexican regulations now jointly make it illegal to carry U. S. money into or out of Mexico except in the form of $2.00 bills and coin. Travelers are advised to secure travelers’ cheques, bank drafts or the like—which can be cashed in Mexico.
LANGUAGE: Spanish is the language of Mexico, but English-speaking travelers experience very little difficulty there. In all the larger towns and cities the hotels,
stores and restaurants have English-speaking clerks, waiters, cashiers, etc. Chauffeurs and guides who speak English are also readily available.
CLIMATE: In Mexico, winter (November to May) is the dry season, and summer (June to October) is the rainy season. During the rainy season, rain may come any time of the day, but in the form of quick-passing showers. The coastal climate is tropical, becoming cooler as the altitude increases. The climate of the Mexican plateau, site of Mexico City and other points, is almost perfect, with practically no variation throughout the year. CLOTHING: Clothing suitable for spring or fall wear in the United States is worn in all cities of the Mexican plateau. Light summer clothing should be worn in the coastal territory. The high elevation of Mexico City, D. F., makes it advisable to have a light overcoat for wear in the morning and night, even in summer. A heavier coat is required in the winter.
MEXICAN PURCHASES: Excellent bargains in leather goods, textiles, glassware, silver jewelry and other items may be had in Mexico. Purchases totaling $100 may be brought into the United States, duty free, providing that the traveler has been in Mexico for 48 hours or more and that the purchases are not for sale. Purchases must be declared prior to or at time baggage is examined. Invoices on all purchases are advisable. TRAVEL DATA: Baggage—a free allowance of 55 lbs. is allowed Mexico air passengers from origin in the U. S. to destination, regardless of the smaller allowance prevailing for air travel trips within continental United States. Stopovers—these may be made at any regular stop enroute, but should preferably be arranged in advance. Fare Reductions—10% reductions on circle, round trip and so-called “open jaw” tickets are granted by Pan American, and accordingly apply on that portion of any Mexico trip made over its lines. A similar reduction applies to the portion within Mexico on American Airlines connections when tickets are issued for a combined routing. Options—In addition to the selection of routes afforded by the four different Mexico routes served by Pan American, the U. S. portion of air trips to Mexico permit an optional choice of routes, at identical fares in many cases, from numerous U. S. and Canadian cities. Tickets—Tickets are good for one year.
