I still have some belief that this could happen. They just announced that they’re retooling their entire schedule, less shoulder flying and more longer routes coming in 2024. This would be their gateway to Asia/Oceania. They can already go south and even Europe w/ the 737 if they wanted to.

I have heard this rumor since I have been here, but I just can't get behind it. We do go to other cities in Mexico, I mean how could we not convert currency? Maybe I am wrong but this seems way to out there to me.

They couldnt use pesos to pay for it thus the only people we were hauling out of Mexico city were the one we took down there. I guess not enough frequency and travelers to make it worth it. The other places we go are more touristy and support the operation.
It was literally because they cant sell tickets in foreign currency.

Whack is correct. That is why we go to Hawaii we can accept Hawaiian dollars. We cannot convert pesos.. We might be able to convert Alaska dollars also, time will tell .

Love when anybody asks about this in Dallas and they say they just haven't "switched it on" like they are playing some sort of 3D chess that we couldn't possibly understand.
