DOHN-deh eh-STAH doh-koo-men-tah-SYOHN
[DOHN-deh eh-STAH doh-koo-men-tah-SYOHN]
🇲🇽 In Mexico: This wording is understandable, but in Mexico you'd more naturally ask for [el check-in], [los mostradores], or [dónde documento]. Staff will understand you, but this doesn't sound like the usual airport phrasing.
