    I have a non stop flight leaving philadelphia at 7:45am and scheduled to arrive in Cancun 9:56 am. This is flight 803. I just took this same flight last month and landed in cancun 10:41 am. Both say travel time is 2 hr 56min. Is there a Mexican daylight savings time I dont know about at this time of year? Travel date is 3/14

    Mexico is on the old DST schedule, that may be the cause of the confusion.

    Whatever happens in Mexico stays in Mexico. I guess that goes for the time too.

    I noticed a big difference in our flight times there as opposed to back. Didn't think about the time change or lack thereof.

    How our charters work is that the plane that takes a group down to Mexico is the plane that then turns around and brings the last group back home. We get in at 2:40pm and leave at 2:30pm...so the time change explains why that is happening.

    I do agree though...what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico...unless of course it happened to get caught on camera. LOL

    Mexico does change time for DST .... on the same day as the rest of the World.

    For some reason the USA change on a different date to everyone else so there is a period where things are out of synch, hence the confusion.

    Thanks for the clarification Steve. Any chance you can get Mexico to make a drastic time change ( like 10 days) so we can get on the March 4th Boobs Cruise??
