About Aeroméxico
Aeroméxico is Mexico's flag carrier and a legacy airline in the truest sense — the kind with a frequent flyer program older than some of its passengers, a main hub at MEX that handles the bulk of its traffic, and a network built around connecting Latin America to North America and beyond. It's not a low-cost carrier, and it doesn't pretend to be. With 268 non-stop routes spanning 103 airports and a total network reach of nearly 695,000 km, this is a full-service operation with real international ambition. The MEX-ICN service alone — over 12,000 km to Seoul — tells you something about where the airline positions itself.
Why fly Aeroméxico?
The honest case for Aeroméxico starts at MEX. With 96 routes out of Mexico City, it's simply the most connected option for anyone moving through the country, and for domestic coverage (189 routes within Mexico), nothing else comes close. The U.S. corridor is legitimately strong at 44 routes — useful if you're connecting through the Americas rather than routing via Miami on someone else's metal. Spain gets four routes, Colombia four, Canada three, so the transatlantic and South American options exist without being extensive. If you're a SkyTeam loyalist, the alliance membership matters for lounge access and elite recognition. Club Premier, the frequent flyer program, has its moments, particularly on award redemptions through partners.

Tips for booking Aeroméxico
MEX is the nerve center, so if your itinerary requires a connection, plan it there rather than through GDL (14 routes) or MTY (12 routes), which are solid secondary hubs but with noticeably thinner onward options. NLU, the newer Mexico City airport with 10 routes, is worth checking on price — fares there occasionally undercut MEX significantly for the same city pair. Fare class matters on international tickets if you're crediting miles to a SkyTeam partner; not every economy booking earns at the rate you'd expect. Check the fare conditions before you assume. Domestic baggage allowances can differ from international rules even on connecting itineraries, so read the fine print on checked bag fees.
