Aeromexico Airlines Infant Policy

Traveling with infants can be challenging, but Aeromexico makes it easier with a dedicated infant policy designed to support families. From seating rules and age requirements to baggage allowances and onboard services, the airline ensures that parents traveling with children in Aeromexico under two years old can enjoy a smoother journey. This guide explains Aeromexico’s infant travel rules in detail, so you can plan confidently.

Overview of Aeromexico Infant Policy

Aeromexico defines an infant as a child under the age of two. Parents may travel with their baby as a lap infant or purchase a separate seat with an approved child restraint system. On long-haul flights, the airline also provides bassinets to make the journey more comfortable.

Aeromexico Lap Infant Rules

Infants younger than two years old can travel on a parent’s lap.

• Lap infants are not entitled to a separate seat and must remain secured with the lap belt provided by the airline during takeoff, landing, and turbulence.
• Each adult may travel with only one lap infant.
• For families with more than one infant, a second seat must be purchased, and a child safety seat is required.

Infant Ticket Fees

• Domestic Flights within Mexico: Lap infants usually travel free of charge.
• International Flights: A fee is charged, typically 10% of the accompanying adult’s fare plus applicable taxes.
• If parents choose to purchase a separate seat for their infant, the fare will depend on the route and class of service.

Age Requirements

• Babies must be under 2 years old at the time of their travel.
• If a child turns two before the return flight, a separate ticket and seat are required.
• Proof of age, such as a birth certificate or passport, may be requested at check-in.

Child Safety Seats

Aeromexico allows passengers to bring and use approved child restraint systems for added safety.

• Only FAA/EASA-approved safety seats are permitted.
• The seat must fit the aircraft seat dimensions and be installed securely.
• Both rear-facing and forward-facing seats are allowed, depending on the infant’s weight and age.

Bassinets on Aeromexico Flights

Aeromexico provides bassinets on select long-haul international routes.

• Available in bulkhead seat rows only. Since bassinets are exclusively available at bulkhead rows, families may want to consider upgrading their seat to secure the best positioning on the aircraft. Our guide on Aeromexico seat upgrades to premium explains how to move to AM Plus or Clase Premier through My Trips, where bulkhead and front-cabin seating is more readily available and can be selected at the time of upgrade.
• Suitable for infants weighing up to 11 kg (24 lbs) and under 74 cm (29 in) in length.
• Bassinets must be requested in advance during booking or through customer service.
• First-come, first-served is the rule for limited availability.

Infant Baggage Allowance

Aeromexico provides baggage benefits to families traveling with infants:

• Lap Infants: One piece of checked baggage up to 10 kg (22 lbs) and a foldable stroller or car seat free of charge.
• Infants with a Separate Seat: Entitled to the same baggage allowance as the purchased fare type.
• Parents may also bring a small diaper bag with baby essentials.

Booking and Check-In with Infants

• Parents must declare that they are traveling with an infant at the time of booking.
• Travel documents such as a birth certificate or passport are required.
• For international travel, infants must have their own passport and visa (if applicable).
• Early check-in is highly recommended to secure bassinets and special seating arrangements.

Traveling with Multiple Infants

• Only one lap infant per adult is permitted.
• If traveling with two infants, one must have a purchased seat and be secured in an approved safety seat.
• Families should inform Aeromexico during booking to ensure correct seating arrangements. Since infant bookings require pre-declaration and seating coordination, it is especially important to notify Aeromexico if your travel plans change. Failing to appear for a flight without canceling in advance can affect all passengers on the booking, including your infant.

In-Flight Services for Infants

Aeromexico offers various amenities to make traveling with infants easier:

• On some long-haul flights, passengers may request baby meals or purees.
• Cabin crew can provide hot water for formula and assist with bottle warming.
• Diaper-changing tables are available in select lavatories.

International Travel Guidelines for Infants

For international flights, Aeromexico enforces additional requirements:

• Infants must have a valid passport and visa (if required by the destination country).
• Lap infant charges may differ depending on the route and cabin class.
• Some countries may require proof of vaccination for infants; parents should check entry requirements before travel.

Important Travel Guidelines

• Lap infants do not receive a boarding pass but will be listed on the adult’s reservation.
• Infants must remain secured in a lap belt or safety seat during critical phases of flight.
• Bassinet use is subject to weight and availability restrictions.
• Parents should pack enough diapers, formula, and baby essentials for the entire trip.

Note: If you notice an error on your booking while traveling with an infant, you can request an Aeromexico Name Correction. The airline allows passengers to fix minor mistakes to ensure travel documents match, avoiding complications during check-in, security, and immigration, especially on international flights.

Tips for a Smooth Flight with Infants

• Book early to request bassinets and bulkhead seats.
• Feed your baby during takeoff and landing to help ease ear pressure.
• Carry a lightweight stroller that is easy to fold and gate-check.
• Keep baby supplies in a dedicated diaper bag for quick access.
• Arrive at the airport early to handle check-in and security smoothly.

Families traveling with an infant alongside a passenger who has mobility challenges should also arrange airport support well in advance.
