Some of the graphics look like buttons, but when we click on them we discover that they are not links. \u00a0Most of the text is blue, which typical website users equate with a link, so its hard to tell where the links are located. \u00a0We just keep clicking until we find one. &#8230;<em>sheesh!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">Mexicana Airlines Fees &amp; Policies:<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Baggage Fee from US to Mexico &#8211; First 55 lb. bag is free, plus $3.50 per kg + taxes if you exceed 55 lbs. for your first checked bag. \u00a0 Each additional bag is $3.50 per kg + taxes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cancellation policy &#8211; \u00a0Fee of $150+\u00a0and additional taxes to change a flight reservation for flights from US to Mexico. \u00a0Generally no refund is given if you cancel a flight, but it varies per fare.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Based solely on research done by TravelSiteCritic.com, these figures may be inaccurate and are subject to change.Verify policies<em> with Mexicana Airlines before you book.<\/em> Please\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/disclosure\/be-aware-of-airfare-fees-taxes\/\" target=\"_blank\">be aware of airfare taxes &amp; fees<\/a>, applicable to any booking that includes airfare.\u00a0TravelSiteCritic.com is not affiliated with Mexicana Airlines, but please read our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/travelsitecritic.com\/reviews\/disclosure\/\" target=\"_blank\">Reviews Disclosure<\/a>.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=qbQhNVCYVcs&amp;offerid=140795.10000002&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0\" target=\"new\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rushmypassport.com\/linkshare\/250x250_1.jpg\" alt=\"Only $99, US Passports in 24hrs.
