Yes, MEX offers staffed baggage lockers in both terminals for short-term storage, with a claim ticket system for drop-off and pick-up.

Fresh flowers can go on most flights, as long as they’re dry at screening and packed to avoid crushing and leaking. Walking through an airport with a bouquet feels simple… until you hit the checkpoint, the overhead bin, or an international arrival hall. Flowers bruise fast. Water leaks.

You can get a new H-1B visa stamp after it lapses if you still qualify for H-1B and your paperwork is current. If your H-1B visa stamp is expired, you’re not alone. Most people learn the hard way that “visa” and “status” aren’t the same thing. One is a travel document. The other is your

Yes, sheet masks can go in carry-on bags, but the serum counts toward the 3-1-1 liquids limit and may need to fit in your quart bag.

Most F-1 students can visit Canada if they meet Canada’s entry document rules and keep U.S. re-entry papers ready. A quick Toronto weekend. Niagara Falls by bus. A flight out of Montréal. For students in the U.S. on F-1 status, Canada feels close and simple, yet the paperwork can snag you if you assume it

Most flashlights can go in carry-on or checked bags, while loose lithium batteries should ride in the cabin with their ends covered.
