19 Febrary - Acapulco airport, Diamante no problem with bike box

South of Acapulco, the Diamante neighborhood is like US suburbia. Big box stores have mostly taken over, displacing the small family stores. Costco, Sams Club, etc. are there.

We returned to the airport to talk to a Continental airline representative in person. Recall that the telephone client service rep I spoke with earlier said that, in effect, we would be denied taking our bikes on the planes because boxes are required and they dont have them.

Fortunately, we were very relieved to find a helpful manager in the backoffice who said it was no problem because there was plenty of space on the plane. They would use garment boxes and we could partially disassemble our bikes when we arrive at the airport, and pay $100. Once again, a person who is willing to help makes all the problems go away.
