Flying to Loreto?

capn.sharky - 2-7-2011 at 09:25 AM

There is a new aduana at the airport. SHE is young and inexperienced. Worst of all, she is rude as hell. She will ask you for receipts for everything, new or not. Who keeps all their receipts for used stuff they have had for years. She asked one guy to sit on his ice chest for 45 minutes while she passed some other passengers through. Seems like she likes to pick on men mainly. I asked around town about her and everyone laughed---guess she is somewhat infamous for her rude actions at the airport. I hope she gets transferred to Juarez soon. Its too bad because she is kind of cute---but a real coyote woman.:fire: No wonder people are not traveling to Loreto.

She is pleasing to the eyes and she has been nothing but courteous and professional in any dealing I have had with her.

Bummer Russ, that you had such a bad experience with her.I'm assuming you will be flying back and hope you don't have a run in on the departure side! I thought you were not supposed to be traveling??(health issues?)Whatcha doing and how are you anyhow?? Abrazos, Sally

Aduana lady at Loreto

Send your comments to the Baja Bush Pilots who have had a lot of success correcting the periodic and repeated overreaches by Aduana and Migration at MMLT.....this has gone on before. Nothing gets their attention as fast as somebody with lots of members who fly airplanes telling the membership to buy their gas in La Paz instead.

Bonanza Bucko...been there and done that.

I solved this continuing problem at Loreto years ago. I NEVER clear customs there and try to avoid buying fuel there if I can manage elsewhere. The flight plan people have always been great, unfortunate that the others have such a poor attitude.

Hi Sally---Yes I can travel--but only on the airplane. Doctors won't let me drive anymore. Good to hear from you. As for the aduana at Loreto airport---I could do without her crappy attitude. As you know, most of my stuff is to give to the needy in Loreto. Especially the kids. Hope to see you again sometime in Loreto.

amen brother!!!

my sentiments exactly.
loreto sucks for GA.

many of the other ones are going downhill too. it is well known on pilots travel boards.

Who 's her boss ? Maybe he'd like to have an update on her . New mayor in town , maybe he'd like to hear this one . He needs to bring in some gringo bucks to keep things going . She's not helping !!

Is there an e-mail adress for loreto govt. to lodge a thought about goings on .

:lol: Should be One ?

Yep, she was mean and unprofessional. I am the one that had to sit on the ice chest for 45 minutes waiting on her. She gave me chit about my CPAP machine and an old beat up electronic scale. I tried to tell her the scale was old and of no value and used to weigh ice chests before coming to the airport. And yes, the scale used and beat up and probably 10 years old. She was demanding receipt for everything. How do you provide a receipt on something of no value??

mulegemichael - 2-9-2011 at 09:04 PM

wow....in all of our travels in and out of loreto we've never experienced a problem...i think i saw this lady last week as we came in but she just smiled and waved me through....whaaa???

Sallysouth - 2-9-2011 at 09:11 PM

Hormones?That time of the month?A stick in the wrong place?Somebody needs to get her name and ID.Loreto really doesn't need this kind of negative energy for tourists old or new.:no:

Been that way since I first flew there in '91

beercan - 2-10-2011 at 06:55 AM

Finally in '99, I told them to shove it up their stinking A$$ and I avoid it now !!
