Mexico's Train Maya: 30% surcharge for international tourists! Travel review: Tren Maya First class

30% surcharge for international tourists! This is just wrong and a major red flag for this train service. Tren Maya has a strong potential but such overcharge is unlikely to attract a key audience it's meant to support. I noted other issues - some of them could be easily fixed (like the lack of information). Tren Maya needs to have a more customer centric approach - for example, collaborating with an airline such as Mexicana could help to make bookings easier and seamless. This video reviews my travel on the Tren Maya in Mexico between Cancun International Airport and Merida-Teya. It includes reviews and advice on the online booking for tickets, stations as well as onboard experience. Check-in and boarding: ***** Seat comfort: *** Cabin cleanliness: ***** Staff: ***** Food and drinks: *** On-board entertainment (inc. WiFi): ** Value for money: ** Recommend: yes Tren Maya official website (includes online bookings): https://reservas.ventaboletostrenmaya.com.mx/ All the tickets are for a specific train service. Tren Maya offers a limited flexibility – which could be an issue if you are looking to buy a ticket to connect from your flight. Tren Maya should look into that especially the train service connects to several airports so it’s a missed opportunity! Thank you for watching. I hope you'll enjoy the content I create.
