An infant's definition
Any child below two (less than 24 months) in age who is not seated during the first flight will be regarded as an infant by Aeroméxico. This is on domestic and foreign flights.
The Aeromexico Infant Travel Policy outlines rules for lap infants and seat bookings, required documents, age limits, and fees to ensure safe and smooth travel.
Age Verification Is Needed
A birth certificate or passport may be necessary when checking in or boarding the infant to verify the age. Infants are required to possess a valid passport whenever they are traveling outside the country.

Policy for Lap Infants
As a rule, infants less than two years old can be placed on the lap of an adult without a seat. The number of lap babies is restricted to one per adult passenger, and you will have to purchase an additional seat in case you have two or more new kids.
Buying a Baby's Seat
In case one of the parents wants to use a child restraint device (car seat), which has been approved by the FAA or local authorities during the flight, he/she may buy a separate seat for his/her infant. The infant seat should conform to the requirements of the airlines and should be secured according to the recommendations of the manufacturer.
Limitations on Where to Sit
For safety concerns, infants cannot sit in exit rows or in seats directly in front of or behind these rows, whether they are on a lap or in a kid seat.
What Are the Infant Fare Regulations? | 1-866-284-3014
Both domestic and foreign fees
Lap infants usually travel for free on domestic flights inside Mexico, though policies may differ significantly based on promotions and ticket types. There is typically a minor fee or discounted rate for overseas flights. Typical recommendations include a small cost for flights to and from the United States every segment and roughly 10% of the adult fare plus taxes on long-haul itineraries.
The second baby
If you have several babies and decide to give the second child a seat of their own, you will need to pay the standard child fee for that seat. A separate seat cannot be replaced with a lap baby ticket.
Taking a Trip to Turn Two
Although even in the event that your child was less than two years old at the point when you initiated the trip, you still need to buy a seat to cover each and every flight segment in the event that your child attains the age of two during the trip.
What Infant Baggage Policy and Equipment?
Allowance for Baby Equipment
Other infant-related items like a stroller, bassinet, car seat, or diaper bag are usually provided free in the case of traveling with a baby. Aeroméxico has a more liberal policy towards the newborn (to approximately 23 kg/50 lbs and 115 cm/45 in) including an extra checked baggage on top of the usual allowances on flights across international borders.
Availability of Bassinets
Bassinets may be offered in bulkhead rows on some long-haul international flights. Since these are limited in number, they are usually first come first served and are expected to be pre-ordered.
How do you prepare to check in at the airport with a baby?
Include a baby in the reservation
It is recommended to add the infant to your reservation when you book or call the Aeroméxico customer support before going to the airport to avoid wastage of time and ensure that the fees are charged accordingly.
Time of Arrival and Records
When traveling abroad especially, ensure you plan to be at the airport early with your newborn and with his or her passport, birth certificate and where applicable a visa plus any other infant ticket or seat booking.
