DoNotPay can help you fight, waive, and refund AeroMexico baggage fees when you are surprised by unplanned travel expenses at the airport gate.
AeroMexico Baggage Fees Explained
Folks, are complicated. There is a different price for baggage for every single global region the planes fly to. Each additional piece of baggage costs a different, increasing, amount to bring or check. If your baggage goes over the sliding size scale, you pay more. In fact, the section of the plane you're sitting in actually changes the allowed size, weight, and cost of each piece of luggage as well.

Additional Bags | Using flights in the US as an example, additional bags can get pricy starting from the first checked bag if you're not flying business class.
Flying to other countries, the prices also increase if you need to check additional bags at the gate instead of booking the bags when you buy the ticket. And yes, you saw that right. At 3 bags+, it's a huge amount for each bag, no longer stacking the cost of one bag at a time. That means the grand total of 3 bags is $540, not $30+$55+3rd bag. That third bag, effectively, costs $455. Not a great surprise if you needed to bring an extra suitcase at the last minute. |
Over-Weight Luggage |
Oversized baggage fees stack on top of the already exorbitant fees just to check the baggage. If one suitcase weighs too much, you're out 100-200 dollars. |
Ways to Avoid AeroMexico Baggage Fees
