Planning on traveling to Mexico.. any tips on airlines, any tips at all !! plz?

I am planning on making a trip to Mexico city, this is my first time being outside the US. Which airlines are the best and not too expensive? The only two I have are Continental and Aeromexico, but I've never used Aeromexico before so I am a little worried about service and well the whole flight thing. Now, I really don't know what I would need to do when I get there, is it like in the states? Is there any English speaking personel? And what about money? I am so nervous.. because like I said I've never been outside the country, and I will be alone so it makes it even kinda worse (i think). Anyways, any tips or comments plz :D
Oh! I too need to know, is it very cold/hot in Mexico City?

Don't drink the water. Trust me.

Go somewhere else. Mexico City is no place for a young girl that has never been outside of the US and doesn't speak the language to visit alone!!!

I would suggest you search a website like travelocity.com or priceline.com and then you can see what airlines actually travel into your city of interest. Then you can visit each airlines website and see which offers the best rates. I prefer continental but they can be a bot pricier than others. Alot of people speak Enlish in the bigger cities like Monterrey and Mexico City. Also your huge tourist attraction cities like Cozumel, Los Cabos, Cancun, Playa etc, Almost all the people in actual places of business speak impeccable English and are super friendly. Money? Well depends do you want to take cash? if you want to travel the rural parts I would suggest you take cash. If you are traveling to the bigger cities or to the touristy places... I wouldn't bother! I would just take like cashiers checks for safe keeping and credit cards are accepted everywhere you go and they have ATM's where you can withdraw money. I believe that the exchange rate is somewhere close to 10 pesos for 1dollar. Try to only exchange what you will definitely use because when you go to exchange pesos back for dollars you will lose a small percentage because the exchange rate is lower. If you are traveling alone make sure that anywhere you choose to stay and go is a well establish and modernized place. Don't make yourself to obvious as a tourist and try not to carry bags/purses with you that make you a target for theifs! Mexico is a beautiful place to visit if you are smart about where you travel.

Well, you need A LOT of tips.First of all, if its your first time in Mexico, I WOULD not recommend that you go to Mexico City. There are many reasons, one being that you are all alone and don't know the city very well. Don't get me wrong it is a beatifull place its just that for a person that has no idea where they are going, it can be dangerous. The city is huge, having a population of over 9 million and you don't want to accidentally end up in the wrong neighborhood because I promis you, you will come out bare nacked and bruised. The fact that it is so high up(elevation) may also be a factor. The hundreds of thousands of cars in the streets will also cause irritation the first time you visit. If you really want to go to Mexico City, I would suggest you get a friend to go with you because honestly, don't trust those cab drivers too much. I would suggest another city.
A great city to visit would be Morelia, Michoacan. I'm probably saying this because my parents are from here and I visit every summer so I'm probably a little bias. Anyways, Morelia is the capital of Michoacan. It has its urban and colonial influences seen throughout the city. Way smaller than Mexico City(about 700,000 people) it is much easier to get around. The historic center boasts the famous cathedral along with its other attractions such as the aqueducts and other temples. If your looking for nightlife, Morelia has that too. I would really recommend this city if your going to Mexico. If you would like more info you can email me at georgina.sanchez@sbcglobal.net Just use Wikipedia and type in Morelia to get some info.
As for airfare, expect to pay alot. Prices go WAY up in times of vacation as cause of all the people that visit. If you really want to visit this year I would suggest looking for tickets A.S.A.P. As for airlines, I would not recommend big name airlines such as Aeromexico or Mexicana simply because they are too expensive. If possible, I would recommend traveling to a border city such as Tijuana(I live in california so I prefer traveling from Tijuana) so the flight is not a international flight rather a national flight saving you a couple hundred. If traveling to a border city is not possible, then sorry, these overcharging airlines are the only solution. If going to the border is possible, I recommend AVIACSA, Volaris,AVOLAR. They are cheaper and get you to your destination. As for service, unless your traveling first class, no big name or small name airline will praise you at your feet. They will feed you onece and give you a drink once.
As for the language, that will be difficult. Manyu people will be able to understand you especially since Englisg is becoming more and more common in the world, however don't expect to be on the same page all the time. My suggestion, buy a book to translate english into spanish and vice versa. As far as currency, you probably know that Mexico uses pesos. My suggestion is to exchange at the airport so you don't have to worry about it. If you do run out of pesos, you can always go to the banks in Mexico which in cities are everywhere. If you cant get to a bank, many people will accept U.S dollars at 10 pesos per dollar. Right now the exchange rate is about 10.75 pesos per dollar, but the 10 pesos per dollar is what the people out in the streets(vendors,etc) will take.
Oh, and a word of advise. You will probably get sick. Not like dying sick, you'll probably just get a stomach ache and maybe vomit. This is just nature. I go to Mexico every summer and there has not been one summer where my stomach hurts for a couple of days and then I vommit. After that its all good. The reason being is that it is a different culture and your stomach will not be used to it. I don't mean its dirty, its that your just not used to it. As far as the water, If your eating out in the streets(corner snackshops) I would recommend you have bottled water or soda etc. If your in a restaurant its okay. If your going to eat out of the corner snackshops ( like the ones they have in NYC) look for a one that has a lot of people. If it has got a lot of people then it is good. Hope this helps. Sorry that it was kind of long, just wanted to help.
