Ticketing

Please remember that all reservations confirmed within seven days (7) of departure must be ticketed within 72 hrs at least 24 hrs prior to departure to avoid seat cancellations.

Printed Tickets

AeroMexico charges a $20 USD handling fee for printed tickets and $50 USD for a Prepaid Ticket.




24-Hour Fare Guarantee

For the convenience of our passengers, AeroMexico will guarantee the quoted fare for 24 hours from the time a reservation is made. Because fares change rapidly, fare quotes not resulting in a reservation will not be guaranteed. If the customer does not contact AeroMexico to pay for their ticket within 24 hours, and the rules of the fare required purchase within 24 hours, the reservation will automatically be cancelled. Any changes made to the itinerary by the customer may result in a fare change.

AeroMexico will allow passengers to receive either a full refund or to make changes to a reservation, at no cost, within 24 hours of ticketing. Refunds may be requested by calling our call center 1-800-237-6639, visiting any AeroMexico ticketing facility, contacting the issuing travel agency, or sending a request for a refund directly to AeroMexico. Once all appropriate documentation is received in our Customer Refund Services Department, refunds for eligible tickets will be issued within two (2) billing cycles for credit card purchases and one (1) month for cash purchases.




Fare Availability Notice

AeroMexico has launched various initiatives to reduce internal and external distribution costs. These measures are meant to prevent unproductive bookings like churning, duplicates and fictitious bookings which harm our business by blocking AeroMexico's flight inventories.

Based on a strict commercial analysis, please be advised that as of February 4, 2008, AeroMexico will reduce the range of our flight availability by 90 days. This means that your system will only be able to reserve/sell within 248 days instead of 338 days. Immediate purchase classes W, P and V will, however, remain available in your system throughout the 338 system date range.

This measure has been taken to not only reduce the high booking fees paid to GDSs, but to also provide an accurate inventory availability status.

For prospective reservations beyond 249 days, please contact our reservation call center at 1-800-237-6639.




Waivers and Favors Notice

As is standard in the industry, AeroMexico uses a system to maximize revenue through the sale of seats that are available in its network. The revenue model calculates the demand for each route and segment, and then determines the number of seats offered in the different classes of service. The model requires respect of certain classes of service, but allows flexibility to change to a lower fare. However, these changes can affect the revenue yield of each route.

To support the travel agency sales channel, AeroMexico granted travel agencies the opportunity to make changes to some classes of service (waivers and favors). Unfortunately, agents often reserve a “J” or “Y” class, followed soon after by a request for a lower fare. This practice has distorted our model and negatively affected revenue optimization and yield, primarily in the high-demand routes, which in some seasons will be oversold.

Due to this practice, AeroMexico must suspend any future authorizations for waivers and favors, effective immediately. Given that high yield sales also generate high commissions, this measure will also help support travel agent profitability.

Reprotection

Ticketed Passengers

Travel agencies may reissue tickets involving involuntary re-routings due to schedule changes only if the ticket involved is a -totally unrestricted- ticket, otherwise reissues must be done by AeroMexico.

When AeroMexico no longer operates on the day the passenger was scheduled and operates on alternate days.

  1. Offer to book passenger on a day AM does operate. Do not apply penalty or additional collection. Document the PNR to accept tickets as written to travel on the new dates due to the schedule change.
  2. If the protection is not satisfactory to the passenger offer a refund without penalties. Document the PNR accordingly.
  3. If "A" and "B"are not satisfactory offer to book on another airline with whom we have a ticketing agreement. Book on the most direct service. Advise the passenger to take the ticket to an AM counter for reissue. Document the PNR showing that the passenger has been advised of the SC protection and that the tickets must be reissued at the AM ticket counter.
When AreoMexico no longer operates in a market
  1. Advise the passenger of the discontinued schedule and offer to refund the ticket without penalties.
  2. If "A" is not satisfactory, offer to book the passenger on another airline with whom we have a ticketing agreement. Book the most direct service. Advise the passenger to take the ticket to an AM ticket counter for reissuance. Document the PNR indicating that the passenger has been advised of the SC and protection and that the ticket must be reissued at an AM counter.

***Be sure to check ticketing hours for the AM counter the customer is being referred to at the airports.

Connecting passenger from another airline to AeroMexico

If AM has an alternate flight from the gateway then change the AM flight. If AM does not have another flight re-book the other airline flight.

Unticketed Passengers

When AeroMexico no longer operates on the day the passenger was scheduled and operates on alternate days

  1. Advise the passenger of the schedule change, applicable fare and time limit. Document the PNR indicating the passenger has been advised of the schedule change.
  2. If the new schedule is not satisfactory, cancel the PNR.

When AM no longer operates in the market

  1. Advise the passenger of the discontinued schedule and document the PNR.

Day of departure cancellations or delays

Passenger holding two separate tickets

Connecting passenger from another airline to AeroMexico

Refunds

Tickets issued by travel agents:

AeroMexico tickets (139) must refunded by the issuing agency through ARC.

Issuing agents are responsible for calculating the refundable amount as AeroMexico does not provide this service. All applicable rules and restrictions for the fare issued must be observed. For tickets that are refundable due to medical reasons, agents should keep a copy of the medical documentation on file in their office. When completing the Interactive Agency Report (IAR), Agents should include a note in the comments/remarks area indicating the refund is due to medical reasons and that documentation is on file.

If a passenger is required to purchase a new ticket on AeroMexico or another carrier, because the original paper ticket or e-ticket validated on AeroMexico (139) is not available upon check-in, the claim will be processed by AeroMexico as a lost ticket.

If the original ticket was issued on a carrier other than AeroMexico (139), agents should contact the validating carrier for specific refund procedures.

Tickets issued by an AeroMexico ticket office:

AeroMexico tickets (139) that are eligible for a refund will be evaluated and processed by the issuing office. Unused paper tickets or electronic ticket numbers and accompanying documentation will be needed for evaluation.

Tickets purchased through AeroMexico's website (www.aeromexico.com):

AeroMexico tickets (139) that are eligible for a refund will be evaluated and processed by our refund department. Passenger name, itinerary and electronic ticket number will be needed for evaluation. Phone contact 800-237-6639.
