Is summer in Mexico something you might be interested in? We thought so. If you jump on this new deal, you can start planning your itinerary right away.
Aeromexico has put a number of round-trip flights from Los Angeles to Mexico City on sale and also discounted fares from other West Coast cities. The cheapest prices were obviously for flights out of LAX, but cities like Seattle also have great prices on flights to Mexico's capital that are worth considering.
Aeromexico's economy fares allow for just a free carry-on, so expect to pay at least $30-$35 to check a bag each way.
