Chris is right. Although Border cities can be bad once you are past that point things are usually fine. Right now I would not travel past Guaymas!!!! But we would sure like to get on a plane and go back to Oaxaca and Chiapis Guaymas has more murders than Nogales! Rotten cops that get replaced all the time.

I have to say that flying in Mexico has become very economical. We recently flew from Monterrey to Tijuana for less than 2000 pesos r/t (3-hour flight). Discount airlines are not bad at all and we enjoyed our flight. What's the difference between Aeromexico and VivaAerobus? No open bar. Big deal. If you fly in the morning you surely won't be drinking and a very nice coffee is only 35 pesos.
Also, the hotel chain, City Express, has come up with many different levels of quality and service; City Express Junior, Plus and Suites. Not bad at all for the price with breakfast included (not continental) and all of their plastics and paper products are biodegradable.
If you're in Mexico or will be, now is the time to book before the holidays.
