Has Anyone Flown AeroMexico?

Our flights have been changed from Ryan Int'l to AeroMexico. I have never flown this airline before. I Googled and of course found a bunch of bad reviews.

Anyone know anything about them?

Good thing is, they have an awesome weight limit on luggage. 2 pieces to check-in and they can be 70 pounds EACH! WOOOOOOT!

I haven't heard anything about that airline, but it's probably a charter like ChampionAir. That's who we had. We had the same weight limit. It was awesome! We've never had any problems with the charter flights to Mexico. I'm sure everything will be fine. You are always going to find bad reviews out there!

I've flown with them. To be honest, I've never really paid attention to airlines.

They are not a charter though, they are similar to Mexicana Airlines.

Hi!

AeroMexico is one of the OLDEST airlines in Mexico. They are very good. Comparing them with other Mexican airlines they are probably the ones that have the most expensive ticket prices. They are consistently ontime and I have never had problems with luggage getting lost. That doesn't mean that it doesn't happen!!

You should ask about the cost of upgarding to a 1st class ticket. I think last time I did it they charged $50 dls for this then gave me and Hubby shrimp cocktails and free drinks during the flight.

Oh. See, that was me acting like I knew what I was talking about.

That's pretty inexpensive for a first class upgrade! I'll have to ask!

I noticed that the ryan air flights were no longer available on funjet. I saw that it was aeromexico instead, but didn't realize existing flights would be switched to aeromexico. I'm really glad to hear you don't have to worry about luggage anymore! That's great news. Did you flight times change?

I wouldn't worry so much about bad reviews. When does anyone review a good airline? I had a great experience with airtran over the holidays, but enver bothered to write a review anywhere.

The flight times have changed, but only by about 20 min. All the ppl leaving from S.A. and Houston are now flying AeroMexico.

hmmm, I'm surprised my TA hasn't told me this yet. I was under the impression those who booked ryan air would still be flying ryan air. It's actually better, because that way more people will be on the same flight.

I have flown them plenty of times and no problem at all.
