Been to Mexico, but not Mexico City. Hagglers everywhere, don't pay full price for anything. Don't piss off the drug dealers... They're rather brutal in Mexico.

Generally it is considered a polite greeting as a foreigner if you tell everyone "Tu Madre es una puta" when you greet them.

That sounds as though it could possibly mean 'Your mother is a whore'? <laugh>

What if you've never met their mother?
 
Ok... So I don't speak much Spanish but I used Google translate to help come up with a travel phrase guide for @Red Hadron Collider this should convey 90% of what he needs to communicate in Mexico.


Gob ****:
caca de la boca

****stain:
mancha de masturbación

**** hound:
perro de la masturbación

**** wit:
ingenio sexual

May I pee in your bum please:
puedo orinar en tu culo por favor

Bar steward: :bandit:
camarero

It's called a bap not a cob:
se llama un 'bap' no una 'mazorca'

A pint of Carling please:
una pinta de orina de caballo por favor

My dad is the Pope not a potato:
mi papá es el Papa, no una papa

Please call a doctor I just fell down the stairs:
por favor llame a un doctor, solo me caí por las escaleras

absolutely...that's very short for your bags as well

you need assistance getting between gates there unless.you.are.very.lucky
If he’s flying KLM that’s plenty of time and he won’t have to retrieve his bags anyway as they’ll be automatically transferred.

Do you feel it was worth the effort?

if there's an hour max between any delay and the bag is in trouble.

long taxi etc.

any airport and less than 45mins turn round = bag at risk.


hopefully it's Klm to klm and same gate group..

I have had to do gates in a and run to gate in d.

I doubt he’d be going to Schiphol if it wasn’t KLM.

I’ve transferred there a couple of times and never had a problem with relatively tight turnarounds. They factor the taxi times into arrival times btw. As long as he doesn’t decide to go hunting for a place to smoke and wants to down a couple of pints he’ll be sound
 
:)

I will admit you are far better off bro g first off air plane than having to sit like a open for ages til some gobshites deigns to come on board and grope you into a crap chair
well its not all bad i suppose if you get a complementary grope out of it :bandit:
having had practical experience of this sort of stuff my advise is if at all possible do it yourself as relying on others is a very dangerous route.

Therein lies the fatal flaw in the plan.
