I would stay in a TJ hotel very close to the border, or spend the night in S.D. Or just leave WAY early, and plan on killing some time before you hit the airport. JMHO

I would just leave two hours for the northbound border wait and another hour and a half for the airport parking/check-in. Saturday mornings are not as bad as the Mon-Fri work day commutes. If you do stay the night in Mexico- don't leave your packed luggage in the trunk (but you already know that).

What's the point of being one of the "trusted" if you're not?


The trusted get secondary way more than everyone else.

But of course, I am a "Threat to Homeland Security", what would I know?

Don't know how many are in your group but here is a fast secret if you eat or stay at the right places in Mexico that participate in Fast Trac. You spend $70 dollars at one of the designated places participating and they give you the Fast Trac or some sell them to you for $2 dollars. You drive just like you do to when crossing back from T.J. into the U.S.A. So, where the sign says San Diego at the last one way turn left in T.J. going back to the U.S.A. border you will stay to your right and when you see the Colonial Federal sign you take it and as you proceed stay with your left shoulder towards the cement divider all the way up to the Mexican booth that looks like an outside ticket booth, be aware that the Colonial Federal makes a Y right as you approach this booth, so again I advise you to stay with the cement divider on your left shoulder if you are the driver. The toll operator will come out to your vehicle to take your ticket that you got as described above, toll officer will write you car license down and way you on. NOW, you will drive on up to the U.S.A. border line and find maybe 8 or 10 cars ahead of you. Should be able to do all of this 30 minutes after clearing the last toll pay by Tijuana Playas and going on your way to the border. Worth the money as you have to eat somewhere and if you have a group makes it real easy. Just a suggestion and if you know where Ruben Palm Grill is at Cantamar he participates and so does Rosarito Beach Hotel. At the hotel you buy them at the front desk for $2 dollars. You have the Fast Trac now baby and yes I have crossed this way about 6 times and never found more than 10 cars ahead of me. I have the Sentri but this is faster and faster is always better with me,LOL. "No Hurry, No Worry, Just Fun" Later now, bajafun777

Thanks for the info. I just looked fast trac up online and it appears legit. I am going to try it. Gracias.
