I’m giving Aeromar one star only because the template here won’t allow me to give it less. Let’s see. Where do I start? We booked round trip from Mexico City to Zihuatanejo after we had to postpone our trip and the Aeromexico connecting flight we had before was no longer available. First off, when we checked our bags in MEX they charged us double ($100 for two bags) because we didn’t pay online. There was no mention of this penalty on the English language version of their website. Next, our flight was delayed an hour with no explanation or an idea when we would leave. The board continued to read “on time” throughout
But these issues were nothing compared to what was yet to occur. A few days before our scheduled departure for home, while on vacation, they sent us an e-mail saying our flight was now going out later, causing us to miss our connection in MEX to return home. Multiple attempts to reach them by e-mail and phone while in Mexico were fruitless and many of the phone numbers on their website and earlier emails confirming flight details went into oblivion. When we finally were able to connect with an agent they told us it would cost us $250US to change and fly out the day before (as no earlier flights were going out on our day of departure). There was also going to be a 750 peso change fee! This was outrageous since they were the cause of our troubles. In the end, we stayed on the new Aeromar flight time and rescheduled our Delta flight home form MEX to go out a day later because Aeromar was unbending.
This entire disaster cost us hundreds of dollars in increased flight costs, overnight costs in MEX, etc. plus, we spent hours stressing and trying to fix the predicament they put us in while we were expecting to be on the beach.
We’ve traveled over the world including some small regional airlines (ever hear of AeroTucan?) but have never been treated anywhere near as poorly and with as much disdain as Aeromar has treated us. Never, never again. We will walk before we fly Aeromar.
