What is Aeroméxico's checked bag weight and size limit?
Every bag on Aeroméxico must weigh 50 lbs / 23 kg or less and measure no more than 62 linear inches (length + width + height) to avoid surcharges. Both limits apply independently — a light bag that is too large still triggers the oversize fee.
| Fare | 1st bag | 2nd bag |
|---|---|---|
| Main cabin | $70 (low season) to $80 (high season) USD for US/Canada routes on Classic/Flex fares (no checked bag included); AM Plus Classic/Flex includes 1 bag | $80 (low season) to $95 (high season) USD for US/Canada routes |
| Basic economy | $30 USD for US/Canada on Basic fare (online pre-purchase); standard/at-airport rates are $70 to $80 USD — verify at booking | $80 (low season) to $95 (high season) USD for US/Canada routes |
Fees shown are for online pre-payment where applicable. Paying at the airport counter or gate typically runs higher.

How do bag fees affect my Leave-By Time?
Checking a bag adds 20–30 minutes to your airport buffer compared to carry-on only. You need time to join the bag-drop queue, hand off the bag, and collect your receipt before you can head to the TSA checkpoint. That window sits before security — not inside it — so it shifts your Leave-By Time at home earlier, not just your airport arrival.
Use the Leave-By Time calculator — enter your flight, mark that you are checking a bag, and the calculator adds the bag-drop counter step so you leave home with exact numbers instead of a rough guess.
