What I love most about that cabin crew member was you spoke in Spanish, she spoke in French, and then you spoke in English, and she went to Spanish LOL
Same happened to me :D I spoke English, stewardess answered in Spanish. I spoke Spanish she reikien in English. Also asked in English ”Are you Mexican?”. Aeromexico sobrecargos are awesome.
B
I speak english Je parles Français Yo hablo español
It's kinda inappropriate.
Fact about the people! I've been to Mexico three times now and i have to say, every time i met so many amazing people. Bienvenidos a Mexico!
Noel: I'm surpised how long it is, it's a twelve hour flight
Me: Laughs in Australian
I’m Aussie too lol
Another Aussie here🖐
Pom living in Aus. I wish I only had 12 hours to fly! But I forgive Noel, his feedback and commentary is really useful 🌟
third Aussie here
Me too !
Hi Noel ! Thanks for your nice review !! Glad you had a pleasant experience . I’m part of the inflight product team for Aeromexico 👍🏼✈️
@Dan Iri, just had the pleasure of flying Aeromexico YUL-GRU and back. It was quite a lovely experience, thank you!
Thanks for the incredible video Noel! I am a Mexican living in New Zealand and I always get this enormous wave of homesickness when I see an Aeromexico plane when I get the opportunity to fly overseas.
Eight hours sleep on a plane?! That's longer than I can get in the comfort of my own bed. Wish I could sleep that well on planes.
True!!!!😂! 💯 %
Well, he had tequila...
@@Nadia1989 lol
Seriously I sleep terribly on planes even with a lay flat seat!
Left LA once for the flight back to Australia armed with my sleeping tablets and was asleep even before the safety presentation. Best flight back from there ever. Sadly had to drug myself to do it though.
Bienvenido a México señor, que disfrute su visita!!
Viva México 🇲🇽
el avion en el classe empresa es mas bonito tequila salmon y enslada la comida fantastica
I'm a big fan of Aeromexico. Pre-pandemic I flew with them Amsterdam-Mexico City-San Salvador, albeit in Economy ........ a quality 'back of the plane' product with great food, service & unlimited free Tequilas!
As a Hispanic myself, this comment section making me feel so warm 🥺
One of my best Business Class flights I've had in a long time was also on the 787-9 Aeromexico. I was so impressed. It was just before Covid and we could pre-order our meal. I would definitely recommend.
Was the business class seat flat???
Is the premier class the business class?
Aeromexico once delayed my flight to the next day due to a technical issue on the airplane, I was not on that much of a rush to get home so I didn't care that much, still to my surprise they took us to a fantastic hotel, I was served a rather decent meal for dinner and they put me on a suite with a jacuzzi, it ended up being the nicest part of the trip which was just a typical work trip. No other airline I've flown has ever offered me a sincere apology for something going wrong and much less compensated that well for it, its trully remarkable, and I was flying economy. GREAT Airline!
A flight at 10:45 PM, all dark, and you greet the air hostess with "Buenas tardes" ("Good afternoon"), Noel? 🤣
Mexico City, one of my favourites! Darn , I miss it. When things get to some sort of normal, its at the top of places to return to! Although the airport is about the hardest to deal with, especially for domestic flights. Found it very confusing. Although its just basically one very long terminal. Anyway, enjoy, get to the food markets, they are great.
I would put the 8hrs sleep down to that half glass of tequila you had.
Tequila is actually the only alcoholic stimulant as opposed to a depressant.
@@culcune 🙄🙄
@@culcune really i didn't know that
Really lovely service on Aeromexico! I wonder what great adventures and flights Noel has in store this time. Can’t wait for the next video! ✈️
Welcome to México 🇲🇽 Dear Noel, unfortunately there is a lot of things that we need to improve in our beloved country, no signs at all and that is huge problem. The good thing is that our people is so warm and welcoming. Mexican beaches are a must to visit. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!!!
This is very true. I stayed at a beautiful resort in the Mayan Riviera with my family in 2013. The Mexican people that worked at the resort were very accommodating and so friendly. It was a fantastic week! Barcelo Mayo Palace Deluxe I believe it was called.
You can use the Terminal Train, you just need to show a valid air ticket ether with Aeromexico if you want to go to T2 or with other airline if you want to return to T1....
does it run that early in the morning?
Worth the wait, especially given the cost of the taxi@@alantorres3601 or you could walk, do a bit of sightseeing on the way ;-)
@@thomasdrodriguez3851 the area around Mexico City airport is not very safe and terminal 1 is quite a long way away from terminal 2
Great review as always. Nice to see that Aeromexico doesn't follow the other airlines and does't cut onboard services.
Hey Noel, if you ever get a chance I recommend going to Japan and checking out their airlines. In my opinion ANA and JAL offer the best business class. Also the trip from Japan to Hawaii is pretty incredible as well!
To go to Terminal 1 you can also take the Aerotrain, it runs from 5 am to 23 pm and it’s free. It goes both ways.
I personally, would of gone for the beef bourguignon. :)
Not sure I agree as their was a good choice
You're too picky
Really looking forward to seeing your Mexican adventure. I'm planning a trip there this summer and hopefully some of your insights will help. I hear Mexico is very lax on their COVID restrictions.
Haha hell yeah it is! Planning to go soon
They’re hospitals are also collapsing from COVID cases, had to cancel a trip there for April cause it’s bad there
No restrictions to enter country, and of what I saw most people wear masks (unlike here in the states 😒) and gel and temperature scanners everywhere
There's a free tram from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. I haven't been there since 2019 though. Maybe it's closed due to Covid
Gonna watch this later but one thing is for sure, Aeromexico to me is now Tequila Express.
There is actually a train which goes from Guadalajara to Tequila town (where Tequila is made) and it is called Tequila Express! The name is already taken sorry hahaha
Very relieved to see an upload today, had a horrible feeling after your exit from Twitter (I’ve left it too now!) hope everything is ok for you and thanks for continuing to upload during these troubled times.
Good job for leaving, It's absolute cancer, I struggle to see how anyone still uses it haha
Wow that lady welcoming passengers with a big ¡HOLA! 😺 that just feels so good
Great video Noel. I flew with Aeromexico a few times before covid and found them to be very good. They were very keen on dishing out the Tequila all the time too!
Only just discovered this site recently and though I am not much of a plane geek I really enjoy watching. My first ever flight was from Melbourne to Sydney in 1968 was up in a 727 and back in a DC9. I was 8 and thought that I would die of excitement. Still remember the thrill of it all, feeling so cool. It was with Ansett, my stepmum was the personal secretary to the Victorian manager. I was hooked after that.
Welcome to the channell. That sounds amazing. What I'd do to fly on a DC9 or a 727 even just once!
@@noelphilips You probably weren't born when I went on them. I must have been a bit of a geek as I am now 60 and have never forgotten what type of planes I was on, I asked my dad at the time I was so fascinated.
I’ll never forget my English friend originally from Yorkshire but who has been in Australia for a long time, telling me that she had been to Paris for a weekend. It completely blew my mind. We travel bloody hours to get anywhere apart from Bali and the beautiful Vanuatu. Twelve hours is nothing to us Aussies.
Aero Mexico always the way to go when I go to the homeland 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Sir.. your videos are awesome
im not sure about anybody else, but i really like it when we see the full take off?
I love hearing the take off. Makes me feel like I'm on the plane making my tummy roll with a mixture of nervousness and excitement lol
This is one of the main reasons we watch YT channels like this one and James Asquith's
Welcome to our country and hope you enjoy your stay
Ah ! Life for those not sitting in the cheap seats !!
Went on that airplane in 2001 loved it!! Me and my husband were 3 sheets before we even left the tarmac
Awesome video... I love Aeromexico!!! Specially their big bird... the mighty Boeing 787 dreamliner.
I'm Canadian and I love Mexico. I had a great time there.
‘Great video Noel. You are one of the few avgeeks I follow is consistently putting out new content which is great in the current climate. Can’t wait to get things sorted with COVID so the world can open up again.
Thank you so much! It’s been difficult but we’re on the home straight now hopefully!
I flew this aircraft last week from CDG to MEX, from MEX to CUN and then from MEX to MAD and the seat in business class is not full flat!!! It goes does 180 degrees but it is not flat.
The terminals 1 and 2 are connected by a train, it is free for passengers.
Just have your boarding pass.
Indeed TEQUILA EXPRESS was a turistic railroad from Guadalajara to Tequila, now is operated as JOSE CUERVO EXPRESS and TEQUILA HERRADURA EXPRESS, I recommend highly both
I love the Aeromexico dreamliner i fly it when i go to stay with my partner. but i depart from amsterdam
Hey, like many missed a bunch of holidays in the past 12 ish months. As a parent just wondered if you could do two videos I’m sure loads would be interested
1- top 5 pre flight hotels at LHR from a travelling with kids
2- what you abs your kids pack on a carry on
Think you would find lots interested
On our travels around the USA the friendliest people I’ve come across were Mexican. Really nice people.
Now you should travel through Mexico, they are even nicer there
puzzled how you can fly during travel bans how did you get from the uk to paris ?
Thanks Noel, I’ve been waiting for an Aeromexico review, Paris to Mexico City.
Hi Noel, How many languages do you speak? I'm impressed when you can basically read the Russian signs in Russian language countries, speak Spanish, French and on and on. Amazing!
So close to 200k! Love the videos, keep up the great work! Happy Valentines Day
I want to try Aeromexico that looked awesome! Great review again Noel
Travelled from Australia to LA then caught an Aeromexico flight from LA to Mexico City the flight and service from good but probably the thing I remember the most is sitting next to an old lady who spent the whole flight crying while saying the rosary. Yes one of my more memorable flights 😂
How does this guy manage to get round all these restrictions 🤔? Wish I could
And all without the wife and kids. I wouldn't want to go on all these adventures without mine. 🤷♂️
Noel’s Is level 100 Avgeek so he has special powers
It's his job
I can't believe you showed up in Mexico without any cash!
Welcome to Latin America , Noel. Hello from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴, you should come here next
Thanks Noel, this flight was an option for my Delta Sky Miles return from Paris. I'm sold!
I love Mexico and I think Mexicans do a really good job in ensuring visitors have the best experience possible. I can't wait to go back!!!
Bienvenido a México Noel!
While you are here you should try some of the economy Airlines out there like Volaris and Viva Aerobus or even Interjet and Aeromar with the Turboprops ATRs , Of course Aeromexico is still the best Mexican Airline, but if you are looking for comparisons and adventures, those are some options available in the country. Welcome!
I hear nothing but good things about AeroMexico, and the bus well that's standard :-)
For future reference, there's a monorail (Aerotrén) operating between the two terminals.
Flew this flight Sept 2019 from Heathrow (economy)...the 787 made it more pleasant.Loved Mexico City and Mexico !
There is an "aerotren" which is a train that takes you to terminal 1 or 2 for free if you show your ticket or hotel reservation. In terminal 1 it's locates between doord 4 and 5, and in terminal 2 it's located next to the domestica side of departures (although some intl departures from that side)
Tequila used to make my clothes fall off - damn those injunctions 😁
I love Paris airport. Great video, as always Noel.
So lucky Noel that you can still fly around the world and enjoy holidays whilst the rest of us here in the UK are subject to COVID-19 restrictions and not allowed to travel unless it’s for work. Enjoy your holiday!
Sadly this was a work trip :( I agree though, can't wait to get away with the family again it's been over a year since we've been on holiday anywhere.
No flight cost or cost per mile?
I think with COVID everything is a bit crazy right now, I see prices changing constantly
Finally can see my country in one if your videos, hope you enjoy your visit and I recommend you “el cardenal “restaurant at Palma street in the center, also tacos al pastor are one of the greatest dishes in Mexico.
Did I understand correctly that you spent extensive time in Mexico? How long were you there for and why were you there? Great video. Looked like a tremendous experience in Business Class.
Oooh, really digging in on the personal level. 😉
You should land in Mexico City during the day because you look at the beautiful lakes and mountains around Mexico City
omg welcome to mexico!! 🇲🇽
Noel, I can only conclude that Air Mexico knew you were coming on the flight or had invited you. We flew Club Premier (Business Class) YVR-MEX-MAD May 9 and MAD-MEX-YVR June 2, 2023. I seen your review prior to leaving and was looking forward to the experience. We were imressed with the Aircraft, new 737 Max-* and 787-9, one of which was less than 2 months old.
Compared to other airlines the service was shall we say lacklustre and I think the only thing Premier is the name Club Premier.
There was none of the standard service of asking your drink order before you take off . After takeoff on all 4 flights the service attendents retreated to the service area and didn't emerge for 30 to 45 minutes with a meal and drink, after which they came by took the plates and we had to ask for a refill. for water we had to ring the attendent who emerged from the service area only after finishing their conversation with fellow staff members.
On our MEX to MAD leg, no alchol was put in the common area and limited snacks were put out later in the flight, MAD to MEX the Alchol was put out then put away shortly after takeoff when turbulance was encountered. In fact after 4 hrs and the Turbulance had subsided the alchol was never put out again. Snacks including waterlogged sandwiches were put out along with candy bars and cookies, at some point one of the cabin attedents took 4 kitkat bars and put them in their carryon bag.
Unfortunately one has to fly through Mex, Air Mexico would do well not to call it a business lounge but rather a cefeteria from the 1990's well past it's best before date, Basically no hot food unless you're there at 4PM and they roll out Nachos or mini sandwiches. Who would of thought an airline would call something a business lounge with no AC at all and it's 28 degrees.. In contrast the MAD business lounge was spectacular.
We found MEX to be very disrespectful to passengers, when we arrived mid afternoon about a half dozen 737's and 3 787's arrived concurrently, in immigration there were 4 immigration officials serving 15 lines about 120' long and one of the immigration officials was servicing flight crews. Of course with no AC. When we left 3 hours later our gate was close to the immigration hall, they had 14 officers servicing 2 lanes. Clearly when you said 5 min it was at that time you arrived. Departure MEX to MAD was delayed 3 hrs including at one point the gate being changed requiring a trek across the terminal.
Maybe i was expecting too much however compared to Westjet, Air Canada, BA, Cathay, JAL this airline has a long way to go to be in their league.
My video was from 2 years ago, their service must have changed.
Your content is just streets ahead of anyone. Loved this review and a great surprise
Exactly, contents on Noel and James Asquith YT just keep me glued to the screen
Love Aeromexico‘s Clase Premier on there 787! Also that view never gets old arriving to Mexico City Airport.
I sense a Su-100 Super Jet flight in the making.
Congrats AeroMexico
I work this fight all the time at Indy Center. Now I must take it.
I just flew the 787-9 on AM from MEX-MAD, and the service and food were very mediocre. We’ll see how things are on the way back, but I was disappointed. There was definitely no bar on my flight either. I wonder why things seem to have been so different in February compared to now.
Viva AeroMéxico !!! Top 3 of Latin America without a doubt!!!
Awesome video. This video feels like it was from the good old days.
Didn't you know that there is a tram between terminals?
Hi Noel, love your videos, make me happy as you are so positive. Just FYI if you didn´t know or nobody commented, Etro is a very well known and expensive, predominantly men´s Italian fashion brand founded in 1968 by Gerolamo "Gimmo" Etro. A cool amenity kit thus!
Thanks for the info!
Noel, someday you need to fly to Barbados. One of the best beaches in the world.
I would agree with that. Can’t wait to go back some day.
Loveing the videos Noel, Really enjoyed this one some Aircraft and service! 👍
Etro is a major Italian fashion brand. Will look good when you dress up to go to KFC :-P
I’d like to see an aer lingus
Isn’t Are Lingus low cost
As someone who watches VASaviation, those guys are by far the most professional pilots on the radios. One of the best call signs too - Shamrock.
bUON CIBO, ABBONDANTE E DI BUONA QUALITA'. PECCATO AL BUIO, MA VIAGGIO CONFORTEVOLE, A QUANTO SI VEDE. CHE BUONA SORPRESA, QUESTA COMPAGNIA! COMPLIMENTI!
I suppose the British Airways flight to Sidney should be promoted as The Liver and Kidney Loaf FFA..
That must be the best hotel view ever
Really enjoyed this, great editing Noel
So much room in that 87 wow.
Noel, love ya, but you're starting to get extremely non plùs about the seats. "Yeah, not too bad" and "it's alright" when you have what most of us would describe as the absolute lap of luxury. Please don't abbreviate the exciting stuff, like the seat controls and what you get in the posh seats.
Love your videos buddy and thank you
Next time there is a tram that goes from T2 to T1 and is free, first time I went to MEX they did the same to me and never again.
When you take a drive in Juarez, You need to take the city street that leads to the bridge into El Paso downtown to get the feel of being scared. Do it at night.
When I saw the Tequila at the beginning I thought we were going back to the video when you had the Mini Bar on the Ferry to the Netherlands! Enjoy Mexico!
Looks like AeroMexico's B-787-900 not bad look aircraft. The only aircraft's I used over the last 12 years 777, 747 & A320, A330. Dreamliner 787 is on my bucket list....
Oh man. You got played... were you told there is a free monorail between T1 and T2 ?
I'm guessing you paid over 200 pesos ?
Anyways... I'm glad you sipped the tequila.. shots are a No No. Nowadays tequila is to be drunk like a wine.
I hope you enjoyed your visit. The arrival into MEX runways 05 is the best and most fun to fly. It is best appreciated from the left side or the cockpit for that matter.
I wish there is a youtube channel that reviews economy class seats 💺
Sanspotter does a lot of reviews that include economy seat reviews. He's taking a break because of COVID but he's got a decent library to go through
Welcome to Mexico!! 🇲🇽
Wow! That's awesome! I had fly on AeroMexico before. Glad you had awesome trip!
That is a great experience, well done Aeromexico!
Love your videos, they have me kind of interested in flying. I'm afraid of heights. I also loved the amount of tequila they wanted to share. :) Have considered the 'shaving cream on the glasses' trick for anti fogging? It worked for my aunt, just a thought. Anyways, safe travels and keep the videos coming.
Did you catch the details on the utensils? They have the Aeromexico brand on them. Thought it was pretty cool. Can’t post pics
