"very uncomfortable and legroom was very tight"

(Canada)

Verified Review | Flew Montreal to Mexico City. Aeromexico is not a premium airline but attempts to make a decent job. Service tends to be courteous and respectful, but not overly friendly. Purser on board this flight was cold and barely answered when talked to (this is why I am rating cabin service poorly). The rest of the crew was OK. The airplane was one of the 737s that has not been yet revamped (N860AM). It was very uncomfortable and legroom was very tight. Armrest earphone plugs did not work, thus it was impossible to watch the inflight movie. Newer airplanes have personal TVs, and since seats are a bit thinner, there are few inches more of legroom. I know AM tries to assign the newer airplanes to the longer routes; but this time they failed and we were flown in an airplane that is better off doing 2-3 hour runs at most. There was a full meal at the beginning of the 5 hour flight and a snack and bar service by the end. All beverages were complimentary, but the meal service was not that good (microwave omelette with a sausage). I see AM trying (maybe too hard) to become something more like LAN or Delta, and in some aspects they are doing it, yet they still have a long way to go.

"do not fly with them"

(United States)

Verified Review | Santo Domingo to Mexico City. Horrific experience. If you happen to experience a flight without any hiccups, you'll probably be fine. If anything goes wrong, you're screwed. Their kiosk stopped working at my layover so I had to go through customer service which takes hours (yes, just to print a ticket). Missed my flight, spent 48 hours in hell (running in circles to 12 different customer service lines, 1-3 hours in each line) paid $1000 more in fees, trapped in Mexico on my own dime. If you care about your family, do not fly Aeromexico. If you care about yourself, do not fly with them.

"will try to avoid Aeromexico"

(Canada)

Verified Review | Montreal to Mexico City with Aeromexico. When you are comparing airlines to select your best flight options, you receive the publicity that Aeromexico includes 2 luggage to check-in and 2 carry on items on international flights. For some reason, they consider flying Canada to Mexico a domestic flight and therefore they only allow 1 checked luggage so I had to pay $73 for the second bag for my spouse and me - this is over $140 which represents more than 10% the flight fare. I will try to avoid Aeromexico.

"extremely professional and pleasant"

(India)

Verified Review | Efficient and smooth check in for a day trip to Mexico City. The outbound flight had the cool 737 MAX with a great cabin, IFE and very comfortable seats with a good seat pitch and seat width. The return flight was an older 737. Cabin crew were extremely professional and pleasant. Drinks were served along with a dry snack. Highly recommended and will fly Aeromexico again.

"staff treat you well"

(United States)

New York JFK to Guatemala City via Mexico City with AeroMexico. This is a fine airline. The staff treat you well, and go above and beyond - polite and understanding. The food is free and offered on every flight. I flew AM twice in 2016 and will continue to utilize their services in all of my trips to Latin America and elsewhere - would highly recommend.

"was the worst experience I had"

(Taiwan)

Verified Review | I travelled on July in Aeromexico from Mexico to Narita Tokyo - I had never had such a problems I found travelling in Aeromexico. For me it was the worst experience I had from an international airline. On July 4th from Tokyo to Mexico DF, the service was kind of self-service. I felt like the Aeromexico crew was acting as "divas" and we passengers, we were just the audience. They provided us some dinner then we had to wait almost one hour before the arrival to Tokyo to get another meal. Some people stand up to ask what happened with the meal, as almost all people were hungry. They said there was no problem, "everything was under control". Some snacks were provided at the back of the plane, however there was no information about this until you discovered them. On July 28th, the way back from Mexico to Tokyo was the longest flight in my life, as 2 or 3 hours after taking-off, they announced there was an electrical problem, not serious at all however we would need more fuel, so we were on the way to Guadalajara to refuel. This took two additional hours of a 12 hours flight! Also, the maintenance of one of the restroom was not good, as one of the toilet's lid couldn't stand on the tank, so for women we had to use it with the toilet lid standing on our back. I could not imagine how men did, to use this toilet. When I reported the problem to one person of the staff, the Aeromexico staff affirmed that restroom was working well, as she thought I was talking about a problem of flushing it. Then I showed her the toilet lid problem, she said: "Oh, yeah". Maybe for her it was not a problem! Additionally, one of the staff spilled some coke almost on me, the internal communication between staff on the plane, I heard one treating each other as "cabron", which shows again the non-professional staff working in Aeromexico. When they knew I could understand Spanish, they decided to move somewhere else to talk, and instead of being attentive to their passengers, they keep chitchatting during the flight. Aeromexico staff have no notion of in-flight service and service is at not all on the standards of a Skyteam airline. I won't take any Aeromexico flight again.

"never recommend this awful airline"

(United States)

Verified Review | Nashville to Cancun. Aeromexico ruined my vacation. Beyond being a big huge mess and cheap, they change flight time several times and do not get any responsibility, even if unexpectedly you lose your flight because you got an email 90 minutes before departure. Their system was down and got no help because employees are poorly trained and do not know how to handle critical situations. Coming back, the flight delayed almost 2 hours, changed gates 3 times at Cancun Airport and it took almost 1.5 hours to get our luggage! Their planes smell bad, windows are dirty, and before landing they asked me for the earphones be given back to them. This was so far the worst experience I had and would never recommend this awful airline to anyone. If you want to go on a pleasant vacation to Cancun, go by Delta!

"food and service are great"

(United Kingdom)

Verified Review | London Heathrow to Cancun via Mexico City with Aeromexico. LHR and MEX on a B787-8. The cabin pressure better than usual and there was less noise than on other aircraft. More legroom than on other planes was also noticeable. Flight was bumpy over the Mid-Atlantic but pilots navigated around turbulence well. Food served twice and of good quality. IFE modern and easy to use. Flight attendants helpful and friendly. Flight landed 10 minutes early. Flight between MEX and CUN the aircraft was a B737-700 in reasonably good shape. The cabin had been well maintained but no personal IFE. Once again, service was good and flight attendants helpful. A small packet of biscuits was handed out shortly before landing. Flight was delayed 50 minutes due to the pilot not turning up but plane landed in reasonably good timing. CUN-MEX and once again the plane was a 737-700. Flight took off and landed on time in the middle of the night and a bag of peanuts was handed out at about 2am. Flight was bumpy due to thunderstorms underneath but pilots manoeuvred the plane well. MEX-LHR flight was delayed by 1 hour due to a technical problem which they fixed quickly, professionally and efficiently. Two meals served and once again flight attendants were friendly. Turbulence occurred twice: once over the North-East of the U.S.A. and once over the Mid Atlantic. Flight landed 1 hour late due to delay. Overall, Aeromexico was a good airline which uses modern planes on Transatlantic routes and well maintained slightly older planes on shorter routes. The in-flight entertainment system is good and the food and service are great. A good airline.

"avoid this airline at all costs"

(United States)

When attempting to check in yesterday for an Aeromexico return flight from Mexico City to Los Angeles, I was the told the flight was oversold and there were no seats for me and my wife, despite having booked a round trip ticket on Aeromexico’s website months in advance, having a confirmation number and seats assigned. I was told overbooking by 10% was “legal” due to it being the "high travel season." After speaking with an extremely unhelpful and rude supervisor, and explaining our situation, she said she would investigate further and disappeared, only to return 45 minutes later to again repeat there were no seats for us. She promised to place us first on a waitlist for the flight we had booked. When we appeared at the departure gate we noticed our names were numbers 18 and 22 on the electronic display of waitlisted passengers. Aeromexico and its staff do not understand customer service. Avoid this airline at all costs, particularly if your arrival time is of the essence, either for a connecting flight or an important appointment.

"added to my 'never again' list"

(United Arab Emirates)

Verified Review | I flew from London to Mexico City and back with AeroMexico and had an extremely disappointing experience. I used British Airways on this route before and should not have made the mistake of changing the airline. Flight London – Mexico City was delayed 17 hours. We already had boarded the plane when we were told that a technical inspection was ongoing and we would be delayed by 1 hour, then2 hours, then 2.5 hours. After 2.5 hours we were finally told that the flight wouldn’t depart. Admittedly handling of the delay was quite good – it took me only about 1h from disembarking to getting into a hotel room and the following day flight departed and arrived without problems. What was not so good was handling of my request for delayed flight compensation (no answer received to date). On the return leg I made the mistake of going into the AeroMexio lounge in Terminal 2. The worst airline lounge I have ever seen and my travel experience is quite extensive. When I entered the shower I thought maybe it would be better to travel not feeling fresh than risking a disease. The lounge was small, crowded and smelly. This not to mention the incompetence level at the check in – I appreciate that not all counters have to be opened, but the number of open counters should be sufficient not to make business class passangers wait for 25 minutes to check in the luggage. Flight departed with only 1h delay – 16h less than on the way there - progress. Half way through the flight the entertainment system and light in my seat stopped working. Flight was fully booked so there was no way to change the seat. I added AeroMexico to my “never again” list and would encourage everybody to do the same.
