international flights please help

[lucky513]

I'm so clueless with international flights
I depart Burbank Friday 6:45am to Cabo
plane change in Phoenix

I want to schedule a shuttle when I chose the international option they want to pick me up at 3:30AM 
since I have a plane change in Phoenix can I choose the domestic option? 

I guess my question is will I go through customs in Burbank or Phoenix?

thanks

On the return you will go through customs in Phoenix.

Not sure how your airport works but in DFW which is major and huge I will never not be at the airport 2 hours before flight time. It's insanity.

I am always at the airport at least two hours ahead of time for an international flight.

Are you talking about customs when you return to the US? You'll go through customs at the first place you re-enter, so if your flight goes from Cabo to Phoenix, you will go through customs in Phoenix.

Well her wording is confusing. You will go through customs in Cabo. It's nothing I am sure. Entering is not a big deal.

I thought I go through customs initially before leaving the country

Have fun!

You go through customs when you get to Mexico.

No, you do not. You have to go through customs when arrive to your destination. Which they will ask you why you are visiting and stamp your passport. Have you fill out that stupid card...yadda yadda..

Her question was confusing. She was asking about customs in the US when flying to Mexico.

Not really, she said depart Burbank to Cabo. Maybe I'm just extra smart today... /twirls/

Burbank is small and there shouldn't be much traffic that early from here to there so 3:30 is way early. Do domestic for the shuttle.

Lucky, have you been to Cabo before?

When you get there and get through customs, you just have to barrel through the waiting area as quickly as you can and do NOT get stopped by the timeshare-hounders. That's the WORST place I have been about that, they are persistent and in your face about trying to give you "free" stuff to sit through timeshare spiels. Caught me off-guard at the airport because most places you only deal with the pushiness at the actual resorts and not the minute you land your feet on the ground.

I've never been out of the country I will stay clear of the timeshare pushers

You will be sad if you get to the Burbank airport too early. Definitely pick Domestic for the shuttle.
