Aeromexico lets dogs ride in the cabin, but the fine print earns its own column in my notes. The cabin weight cap sits at 9 kg, and that single number decides whether your dog flies at your feet or somewhere less pleasant. Luna, as always, disapproves of anything involving a scale. Before you book, weigh honestly and read on, because the details reward the meticulous.
Aeromexico's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

Submit that request no later than three full days out. Confirm the booking window against your departure time, not your arrival. Late requests from these cities are not accommodated, so build the 72-hour buffer into the trip calendar first.
Aeromexico transports no pet at temperatures below 20°F, which equals -6.6°C. Check the forecast for departure, connection, and arrival airports before travel. Below 45°F, an acclimation certificate becomes necessary, so obtain that document in advance for cold-weather routes. If any point on the route drops under -6.6°C, expect the animal to be refused transport.
Aeromexico cargo charges 252 USD one way on international routes for a dog. Budget that amount per direction and double it for a round trip. Confirm the figure at booking, since domestic pricing differs and runs in Mexican pesos. Keep the 252 USD separate from ticket costs when comparing total travel spend across carriers.
So Aeromexico works for dogs in cabin, cargo, and hold, provided you hit the 9 kg cabin cap and the 72-hour clock. That is a lot of moving parts for one trip, which is precisely why I stopped trusting memory. Feed your actual route, dates, and dog into Pawgo's plan-builder and get a personalized plan that catches the thresholds before the airport does.
