The specs, row by row.
Plug shape, voltage, frequency — the four things that decide whether your gear works on this route.
The story behind the route.
Why this specific origin → destination pair has the quirks it does — local context the data alone won't show.
Mexico and United States of America couldn't be more different when it comes to power systems, and that matters for every device you pack. You'll catch a break with plugs: Type A/B works in both Mexico and United States of America. Voltage is identical at 120V, which simplifies things considerably. Temperature measured in Fahrenheit (°F). Plan ahead, and you'll avoid the airport electronics store markups.
