Fast Pass

SDRonni - 4-1-2011 at 05:35 PM

Anyone know where we can get a fast-pass for the border at San Ysidro? We have Sentri, but have relatives visiting in the next few weeks, who don't have Sentri. One is my niece, 3 1/2 years old, and the other is my 93-year-old father. Walking across is not an option, and the thought of two hours in the car with a 3-year-old drives me to drink..... Someone told me you can get them at Susanna's if you spend $30 there, but I doubt a party of four could get out of there for less than $120.....Baja Kountry Kitchen used to have them, but no more.....help?????

Get the 3-year-old a drink

Problem solved.

Seriously, Fast Pass is really just a half-slow pass. You'll probably get through quicker late in the evening, maybe mid-morning. Then there's always the option of going through Tecate.

We used to get our passes from Topanco, but were recently told that they are no longer honoring them at the border due to a conflict with TJ-you get up to the Cruz Roja gate before the SY border and are turned back. Our amigo at Topanco purchased 500 of these at $2/each and is stuck with them. This was as of 2 weeks ago-do not think the status has changed.....if anyone finds out differently, please post! We also have a few groups coming down with no SENTRI and are afraid if we walk they may miss flights-
