Aeromexico Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
Aeromexico's checked baggage depends on your branded fare and route — Basic includes none, Classic and AM Plus include one bag, and Clase Premier two — while everyone gets a free carry-on plus personal item within a strict 10 kg cabin limit.
The bottom line on Aeromexico baggage
Aeromexico is a branded-fare carrier where your bag allowance is decided the moment you pick a fare: everyone gets a carry-on and personal item, but Basic checks nothing and Mexico–US/Canada economy adds the first bag at roughly $60–75 each way. The quiet trap is the strict 10 kg cabin cap covering carry-on and personal item together, which is easy to blow past.
If you know you are checking a bag, skip Basic — a Classic fare often costs less than a Basic fare plus a bag. Add bags during booking rather than at the airport, and remember strollers and car seats fly free on top of your allowance.

Hidden pitfalls most travelers miss
- The Basic fare checks nothing, and on Mexico–US/Canada economy the first bag runs about $60–75 each way, so a cheap Basic fare can cost more than a Classic that already includes a bag.
- Economy caps your carry-on and personal item together at 10 kg — the limit covers both pieces combined, so it's easy to blow past.
- No single checked piece over 32 kg (70 lb) is accepted, and bags over 158 cm (62 in) draw a separate oversize charge on top of any overweight fee.

How to avoid extra fees
- Skip the Basic fare if you need a checked bag — a Classic fare often costs less than buying a Basic fare plus a bag.
- Add checked bags during booking; airport rates are higher than prepaid.
- Economy cabin weight is capped at 10 kg total (carry-on + personal item), so distribute weight carefully.
- Keep each checked bag under 23 kg and under 158 cm (62 in) total — heavier or larger bags draw overweight/oversize charges, and nothing over 32 kg is accepted.
- Strollers and car seats fly free and can be gate-checked, so you do not need to count them against your paid baggage allowance.
