    In comparison to other airlines, AeroMexico has a pretty straightforward policy when it comes to baggage fees. It’s helpful to note that if your route does require payment, the first two bags are relatively inexpensive and you’ll definitely save a bit of cash by paying at the time of booking (rather than at the airport).

    AeroMexico Carry-On Allowance

    1 personal item: FREE
    1 standard carry-on bag: FREE

    Size Restrictions

    • Personal: Size not disclosed, but Aeromexico refers to items such as briefcases, purses, computers, umbrellas, fanny packs
    • Standard: 21.5 x 15.7 x 10 inches (55 x 40 x 25 cm)
    • Weight: 22 pounds (10 kg) maximum for both pieces combined

    Lap Infant Carry-On Policy

    • 2 items are permitted free of charge, including a stroller, bassinet, or diaper bag.

    Stroller Check Policy

    • Each customer is allowed one stroller to be checked at gate free of charge.
    • International Destinations: one additional piece of checked luggage besides the stroller or bassinet is permitted, not to exceed 50 pounds (23 kg) in weight or 45 inches (115 cm) in size.
