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"

Happy attentive flight crew. All in all good flight the night flight works well. Getting into Mexico City early so you don't get caught up it all the immigration and custom ques, additionally, this helps when exiting the airport and crossing the city to your final destination. All works very well and would do it again

An hour-long wait to check in, 90 minutes for luggage to come out, lost luggage, chaotic operations

No space reserved for anyone who didn’t have underseat in front of them. Made it inconvenient to get the backs secured. No inflight entertainment in the 190. Bring your own! Food was excellent and we were surprised to get a full breakfast.

No everybody brings the proper equipment to enjoy the plane entertainment. Then I was not able to enjoy it.

Cons: "Plane delayed on tarmac on arrival. Immigration line was chaos with no staff helping to provide order. Missed my connection and changed to another flight the next morning - aeromexico would not pay for hotel or taxi. Supervisors were rude and dismissive, didn’t care about effect on my plans."
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Everything, I will never going to use this software anymore."
Pros: "Flight was late, lost my conection and gave me a flight for next day"
Cons: "Way too much people... We're in a pandemic and the plane was Full. Unacceptable."
Pros: "Very communicative about things like bathrooms being closed for sanitation, turbulence etc."
Pros: "The flight was on time and the crew was great"
Cons: "The organization to keep safety measures and social distance. The crew did not make sure that people were keeping their distance while boarding, and the flight was completely booked"

The Polaris experience is top notch. From departure lounge to arrival lounge. Everything was top notch. One of the best first class experience

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.

The staff was phenomenal. I can’t think of anything that could be better. Will be flying with UA again

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.
