The Verdict
Is Aeromexico Business Class worth it?
Aeromexico's Clase Premier delivers a genuinely competitive long-haul product on its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, with fully lie-flat seating and direct aisle access that rivals many international carriers at a often more accessible price point. However, the experience is inconsistent — Clase Premier on the Boeing 737 fleet (used on many US-Mexico and regional routes) is a recliner seat, not lie-flat, so route and aircraft selection matters enormously. For travelers flying between the US and Mexico City, Guadalajara, or connecting onward through SkyTeam's network, it's a strong value proposition, but red-eye and long-haul flyers should specifically confirm they're booked on 787 metal before expecting a flat bed.
Why We Love It
- ●Fully lie-flat seats with direct aisle access on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet used for long-haul international routes
- ●Salón Premier lounges at Mexico City International Airport (Terminal 2) offer strong regional food and tequila selections
- ●SkyTeam membership provides broad lounge and codeshare access when connecting through partner hubs like Paris-CDG or Amsterdam-Schiphol
- ●Generally competitive pricing compared to US and European carriers on Mexico–international routes
Considerations
Always check the aircraft type before booking a long international Clase Premier fare — routes like Mexico City to Madrid, Paris, London, or Tokyo typically fly the 787 with lie-flat seats, while many Mexico City–US routes still use 737s with recliner seating only. If flying the 787, request a window seat in the forward cabin for maximum privacy in the staggered layout, and note that Aeromexico's Salón Premier lounges in Mexico City Terminal 2 are a genuine highlight worth arriving early for.

Onboard Experience
On the Boeing 787-8 and 787-9, Clase Premier passengers get fully lie-flat seats with direct aisle access, personal storage, and seatback entertainment screens loaded with a mix of Hollywood, Mexican, and international film and TV content. Dining leans into Mexican culinary identity, with multi-course service on long-haul international sectors typically including regional dishes alongside more classic international business-class fare, paired with a curated wine list. Cabin crew service is warm and attentive, generally reflecting Mexican hospitality norms, with amenity kits and bedding provided on longer overnight international routes. On the 737 MAX and 737-800 fleet used for shorter international and domestic routes, the experience is considerably more basic: a recliner-style seat in a 2-2 configuration, complementary meal or snack service, and no lie-flat bed, more comparable to a premium economy or domestic first product on US carriers.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about flying Aeromexico Clase Premier.
Is Aeromexico business class worth the price?▼
On 787 Dreamliner routes, yes — the lie-flat seat, dedicated service, and Salón Premier lounge access represent strong value relative to fare, particularly on long international sectors to Europe or Asia. On 737-operated routes, the value proposition is weaker since Clase Premier there is a recliner seat closer to a premium economy product, so it's best suited to travelers prioritizing lounge access, extra baggage, and priority boarding rather than a flat bed.
What seat type does Aeromexico business class use?▼
On the Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 fleet, Clase Premier features fully lie-flat seats with direct aisle access in a staggered configuration. On the Boeing 737-800 and 737 MAX fleet used for shorter international and domestic routes, Clase Premier is a wider recliner seat in a 2-2 layout that does not fully recline flat.
What lounges can I access with Aeromexico business class?▼
Clase Premier passengers departing Mexico City International Airport (Terminal 2) can access Aeromexico's own Salón Premier lounges, which offer Mexican-inspired food and beverage options including tequila and mezcal selections. As a SkyTeam member, Aeromexico Clase Premier and elite status travelers also gain access to SkyTeam and partner lounges at connecting hubs worldwide, such as Air France-KLM lounges in Paris and Amsterdam.
How does Aeromexico compare to competitors?▼
On its 787 fleet, Aeromexico's lie-flat Clase Premier is broadly comparable in hard product to Delta One or Air France's Business cabin, though typically with a simpler soft product and dining program than premium leaders like Qatar's Qsuite or Emirates. Where Aeromexico stands out is pricing and network depth into Mexico, making it a practical choice for travelers prioritizing Mexican destinations over the ultra-premium extras offered by Gulf carriers or Delta's top-tier domestic products.
