Buy Aeromexico Contigo Flights with Alternative Airlines
Aeroméxico Contigo is a Mexican airline that flies passenger flights. The airline is a subsidiary of Mexico's flag carrier, Aeroméxico, and flies within Mexico, as well as links Mexico with destinations within the US, with a focus on destinations within California. The airline has two bases — one at Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) and the other at Mexico City International Airport (MEX), although, it flies from various destinations within Mexico. Overall, the airline flies to more than 10 destinations.
The airline launched in 2013 as a subsidiary of Aeroméxico, designed to help the mainline carrier with some of its busier routes, such as Guadalajara to Los Angeles, Leon-Baijo to San Francisco and Morelia to Chicago. When first launching, Aeroméxico Contigo's service was more similar to full-service than it was to a low-cost carrier, with in-flight extras included within the price of their ticket, including free meals and baggage. However, with the demand for low-cost carriers increasing and airlines such as Volaris dominating the routes that Aeroméxico Contigo flies, the airline switched its in-flight offering to fly as a low-cost airline, minimising its costs and allow it to offer flight tickets at a lower price.
