About Aeromexico

Aeromexico is Mexico’s flag carrier and a SkyTeam member, flying from Mexico City to more than 100 destinations in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Every fare includes a 10 kg carry-on, but Basic has no checked bag on routes in the Americas, and the US government ordered its joint venture with Delta to end from 1 January 2026. This guide covers the fares, baggage, power bank rules, Mexico City tips and how Aeromexico compares with Delta and Copa.

Aeromexico was founded in 1934 as Aeronaves de México and was a founding member of SkyTeam in 2000. Its regional arm, Aeromexico Connect, flies Embraer jets on many domestic routes.

Power Bank Rules on Aeromexico

Aeromexico follows the ICAO power bank rules in force worldwide since 27 March 2026:

  • A maximum of two power banks per passenger, in cabin baggage only.
  • Up to 100 Wh without approval; 100–160 Wh only with the airline’s approval.
  • No charging power banks, or devices from them, during the flight.
  • Never pack power banks in checked bags.

Check-In at Mexico City

Online check-in opens 24 hours before departure. Aeromexico uses Terminal 2 at Mexico City, and traffic to the airport is often heavy, so leave early.

Allow at least three hours for international flights, especially to the US.

Families and Special Assistance

Infants under two travel on an adult’s lap, and small pets can travel in the cabin on many routes when booked ahead.

Codeshare & Interline Partnerships
