How to Book Aeromexico with Points
This guide covers how to book Aeromexico with points, the Amex connection, and the best programs. Award prices and availability change constantly as programs devalue and adjust, so treat every points figure here as a rough, illustrative guide rather than a guarantee. Always confirm the current price and that an award seat is actually available on the airline own site before you transfer points, since transfers are one-way and cannot be reversed.
The airline and its program
Aeromexico is the flag carrier of Mexico and a SkyTeam member, hubbed in Mexico City with extensive service from the US and across Mexico, Central America, and South America. It operates a comfortable business class on aircraft like the 787 and 737 MAX, and its dense network makes it a practical way to reach destinations throughout Mexico and the region.
Aeromexico own program, Aeromexico Rewards, is notably an American Express Membership Rewards transfer partner, which sets it apart from many SkyTeam carriers that are hard to reach from US flexible points. See our SkyTeam guide.
How to book Aeromexico with points
There are a few ways in. You can transfer American Express Membership Rewards into Aeromexico Rewards to book directly, which is a handy option given Amex broad reach. You can also book Aeromexico through Air France/KLM Flying Blue, which transfers from every major bank, or through Delta SkyMiles, since Delta and Aeromexico are SkyTeam partners with a joint venture.
Comparing Aeromexico Rewards via Amex, Flying Blue, and Delta for your route lets you find the best price. See our Flying Blue and Amex guides.
Mexico City gateway and the network
Mexico City is a major hub, so Aeromexico offers one-stop access from the US to a wide range of Mexican cities and onward into Central and South America. For travel beyond the main beach destinations, into interior Mexico or the broader region, Aeromexico network is a practical asset, and its business class makes longer hauls comfortable.
For a Mexico trip, also compare cash fares, which are often low, against the points cost. Aeromexico is particularly useful when your destination is an interior city such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, or Oaxaca rather than a beach hub, since those routes often have higher cash fares and fewer nonstop options, making a points booking through Mexico City more worthwhile. See our Mexico guide.
Finding space and value
Aeromexico generally offers reasonable award availability across its network. Search through Aeromexico Rewards once you can access it, or via Flying Blue or Delta, then book through the best-priced option. Because Amex transfers to Aeromexico Rewards, flexible-points holders have a direct path that many SkyTeam carriers lack.
For short flights, also weigh distance-based options and cash, since Mexico fares can be cheap. See our finding award space and economy guides.
Who should book Aeromexico
Aeromexico is ideal for travelers heading deeper into Mexico or onward into Latin America who want a comfortable business class and an accessible booking path, especially via Amex transfers to Aeromexico Rewards. Its Mexico City hub opens up the country interior and the region.
For simple beach trips where cash is cheap, compare carefully, but for broader Mexican and Latin American travel, Aeromexico is a practical SkyTeam choice with unusually good flexible-points access. Award prices and availability change constantly as programs devalue and adjust, so treat every points figure here as a rough, illustrative guide rather than a guarantee. Always confirm the current price and that an award seat is actually available on the airline own site before you transfer points, since transfers are one-way and cannot be reversed.
