Airline reviews
Cons: "Aeromexico has a small plane, it is extremely uncomfortable. Flight Crew are not the friendliest of all."
Cons: "Aeromexico has a small plane, it is extremely uncomfortable. Flight Crew are not the friendliest of all."
Pros: "The short lines at check in."
Cons: "The communication or overall handling of the Origin airport staff with the Mexico City staff. Was told COVID test was acceptable in DGO and was not able to fly from MEX to ORD due to “invalid PCR test”"
Cons: "Just 1 person doing check inn in Mexico city, very bad service at the checking point"
Cons: "The sandwich was a large roll with a slice of ham as a slice of non descript cheese, significantly smaller than the roll."
Cons: "Overnight flights on E90 planes are not great but it is what it is."
Cons: "E90 planes do not have WiFi or inflight entertainment so make sure to bring your own."
Cons: "The whole experience. From boarding to arrival. The flight departed late, and arrived even later to then have to still have to wait for the shuttle to take you to the main terminal. These flights make me question whether Aeromexico deserves to be the flag carrier."
Pros: "Nothing. It was terrible."
Cons: "Arrive on time (rather than 12 hours late; I’m still flying). Staff was disgustingly rude. When they missed my connection I waited in line for 2 hours to be rebooked on a much less nice airline. Will never book with you (or Aeromexico) ever again."
Pros: "Crew was friendly."
Cons: "No communication with us in why our flight was delayed. We boarded an hour and a half later and still held us in buses until they were done cleaning because no aircraft was available. Staff was friendly."
Cons: "No one ever told me I needed paperwork to board my return flight and they made me run all over the airport and miss my flight"

1 hour waiting for suitcases to come out traveling in business class and food in business class is a sandwich? Avoid Aeromexico .

Business class was economy with a table in the middle seat. That is worse than economy. No food and no entertainment. Very poor representation.

I like the plane , but i was 50 mts before my fly and they didn’t let me document my luggage, so they told my that I have to leave my luggage or buy an others tickets , because they didn’t want me to give me credit for the tickets I have so that is abuse from the company , and on the line it was 5 families with the same situation equal lime mine , I think they doing business with the tickets w people ,; Mexico has a bad working people, the rip money from turists, and is bad because give bad impression of the company that is aereomexico

Pros: "Ticketing agent very unhelpful blamed Kayak for misinformation and cancellation of flight refused refund very rude ..told me to never book from private business"
Cons: "Never use aermexico again or kayak"
Pros: "Boarding and deplaning was done three rows at a time. It worked great."
Pros: "The crew was amazing , the site is ok"
Cons: "I love Aeroméxico , thanks for de service and the food."
Pros: "Crew friendlynesd"
Cons: "Paying a little more attention to the seating. Not everyone was socially distanced. Seat rows were unequally distributed: some were all full others were too empty."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything, I will never going to use this software anymore."
Pros: "The crew was attentive."
Cons: "Check in process was super slow. It took an hour and a half. Check in process needs to be made more efficient. Also, plane took off an hour and 20 minutes later than originally planned. Therefore, we landed an hour later than expected."
Pros: "Very communicative about things like bathrooms being closed for sanitation, turbulence etc."

Good movies, iffy pay WiFi, food ok- on time though and that was great!

Aircraft has better leg room than any of United's larger planes. We had requested mobility assistance for this and related flights. United's response to all was superb.

No snacks served! Seating in the kast row in uncomfortable.

Flight was fine, it was delayed but only 30 minutes, staff were efficient, lady making announcements at LAX was really hard to understand but the rest were great.

The male air hostess was rude and didn’t even offer me a drink. Poor customer service!

We left really late. Things that were out if anybody’s control I guess.

When I purchased my ticket, I assumed it was a real ticket, as in, when I go to the airport I am guaranteed a seat. Not so. When I checked in 24 hours ahead of time, I noticed I did not have a seat assignment and my boarding pass said "Standby." I was informed at the gate that the flight was full and I may not get on that plane. I don't recall being offered the option of selecting a seat when I checked in, and apparently, for the honor of pre-selecting a seat, you must pay an additional fee. So, a ticket really isn't a ticket, it's actually a lottery and if you're lucky, you may make it on board - or you can choose to be extorted for extra money for the guarantee of a seat. It's like making reservations with the Godfather - one payment isn't enough, there's always another bribe you have to make. After the first few zones were called and I hadn't been informed of my status, I went to the gate agent and they handed me a boarding pass, for the very last row near the restrooms, in between two very large people. Apparently that was my punishment for not purchasing a seat ahead of time. Airline service has not only gotten more expensive, but the return on your money has shrunk and there is little regard for the passengers. This feels like a racket. I am not pleased, as you may have gathered.

It was your usual flight. Nothing exemplary. Due to turbulance, the drinks were served 20 min before landing. Meh.

My only concern was that we were on the tarmac for so long and weren’t told what was happening. It turned out that the system needed to be restarted but it would have been nice to know earlier.

The boarding on this Air Canada flight from Toronto to Barcelona was a complete mess. The ticket was written under United but they were actually Air Canada flights. We went from one end of the Toronto airport to the complete other side.
