Flight Over USA from Canada

@JM When did you fly and when was your conviction?
Problem people are having is with the wording that they could deny entry if you had fraud or tax fraud charges. I'm curious on this too and have been avoiding mexico because of it
@20 Tanya, @21 JM and @22 Jazzsax, this is what I tell people when they call me and ask this...If you are flying direct from Canada to Mexico..enjoy..there is nothing to worry about..Mexico is not going to turn you away because of a criminal record or history. Now, if you are on a direct plane and it has to land in the USA for some unknown , you most likely will not be denied entry, but placed into a "holding area" simply because you did not intentionally try to enter the USA. I have been telling people this for 15 years and no one has come back telling me otherwise.
@Michelle is 100% right. Direct flight to Mexico is absolutely fine, criminal record or not.
My flight was in February....my conviction was 8 years ago for fraud over $5K
