How much does Aeromexico charge to change a flight date?
Aeromexico allows passengers to change their flight date, but the fee depends on the type of ticket purchased, the route, and when the change is made. If you bought a Basic fare, you cannot change the flight date at all—this type of ticket is non-changeable and non-refundable. On the other hand, if you purchased a Classic fare, you can make changes without paying a flight change fee, but you may still have to pay the difference in fare if the new flight costs more. For AM Plus tickets, the first change is often free, especially for flights between the U.S. and Mexico, but again, if the new ticket is more expensive, you’ll need to pay the fare difference. After the first change, or on other routes, a change fee might apply.
For international routes, such as flights to the United States, Canada, or Europe, change fees can range from around 150 to 300 US dollars depending on how far in advance you make the change. If you request the change more than a week before the flight, the fee is usually lower. If you try to change your flight less than seven days before departure, the fee might be higher. In Mexico, domestic change fees are usually cheaper, typically between 700 and 1,000 Mexican pesos. If you fail to show up for your flight without notifying the airline in time, a no-show fee may also apply, and you could lose the full value of your ticket depending on the fare conditions.
In all cases, if your new flight is more expensive than the one you originally booked, you must pay the price difference between the two tickets. If the new flight is cheaper, you usually won’t get a refund unless your fare type allows it. Some promotional fares or special discounts may have stricter rules. It’s always best to make changes as early as possible to avoid higher costs and limited availability.
To sum it up, Aeromexico’s flight change fees depend on your ticket type, how close it is to the departure date, and your destination. Checking your fare rules at the time of booking helps you avoid surprises later.
