Aeromexico structures every allowance around its branded fares. All tickets — even the cheapest — include one carry-on plus one personal item, but a checked bag is only free from the Classic fare upward. The Basic (Básica) fare includes no checked bag at all, so on a cheap deal fare you will pay separately for anything you put in the hold.
Weights and free checked allowances also shift by route — 25 kg per bag on domestic Mexican flights versus 23 kg on international routes — and fees are charged in local currency that varies by region and season. Below are the current 2026 figures, with the caveats where they differ.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
On a cheap Aeromexico deal fare, assume the Basic (Básica) fare: you get one carry-on plus a personal item up to 10 kg combined, but no checked bag. To take a hold bag you must either pre-pay (cheaper online than at the airport) or buy up to a Classic or AM Plus fare, which bundles one free checked bag (25 kg domestic / 23 kg international).
Because checked-bag fees run from roughly $30 USD on domestic/US routes to $60+ USD to Europe — and rise in high season — adding a bag can quietly close the gap between a Basic deal and the next fare up. If you only travel cabin-only, the 10 kg carry-on limit is generous enough that a Basic fare is genuine value.
Oversize, sports & special items
Overweight and oversize: a bag of 23–32 kg incurs an overweight charge of roughly $100 USD international (around 700 MXN domestic). Oversize bags (over 158 cm and up to ~204 cm linear) cost approximately $150–$250 USD. Bags over 32 kg or over the maximum linear size are generally not accepted as standard checked baggage.
Sports equipment and musical instruments: bicycles, surfboards, golf clubs and ski gear travel as special baggage for roughly $75 USD domestic / $150 USD international, on top of any standard checked-bag fee, and are subject to weight limits. Small instruments may travel as your carry-on if they fit in the overhead bin; larger instruments must be checked or booked an extra seat. All figures vary by route and season.
