Nit-picky thoughts about AeroMexico 787-8 business class (LAX-MEX) 

Smoked salmon is not exactly raw fish. This is how it is prepared. Smoked salmon is a preparation of salmon, typically a fillet that has been cured and hot or cold smoked. Due to its moderately high price, smoked salmon is considered a delicacy. Although the term lox is sometimes applied to smoked salmon, they are different products. The whole procees was a way of preserving he salmon so that it could be eaten once the salmon season was over. Obviously im going back to the days before salmon farming.

Great video,great to see you posting again,it’s been a while !!

I am glad that Aeromexico is bringing back Premier service. Last year, I flew from Guadalajara to Los Angeles and from Mexico City to New York City (both flights in Clase Premier, on full-paid tickets) and all we got was a burned piece of what appeared to be an uneatable grilled cheese sandwich. No headphones, no pre-departure drink service, no champagne, and overall a pretty substandard experience for the price paid. As the national airline, I always flew with them to either Paris or Madrid in economy class (pre-covid) and their service and overall experience was nothing but spectacular. It would not even compare to my US trips in first class but I guess the pandemic and Chapter 11 took a heavy toll on them. It is great to see that the company is recovering, along with the whole industry.

Right when I finish some final exams for college, you upload a new video. Just what I needed to relax after a stressful semester.

Good to see you back Scott. Great video as always.

As always a fantastic review,the best out there in my opinion

Awesome review man🙌

What a great flight review.

Great video really enjoyed the info you gave. I lol'd at the "butt shot" joke.

I always enjoy your videos 👍

loved flying with you greetings from the netherlands

Thanks, Scott! A nice review as usual; btw, Aeromexico seems to be attached to that meal, the same exact one I got on my flight IAH-MEX back in January 2018, on an EMB190 though.

Thanks, Pasty white guy with a camera 🤣 Another enjoyable video 👍

It's great to know this! I live in Chicago and I am planning a trip to Mexico City during Thanksgiving Break. I was looking into flying their Premier Class and this gave me a great insight! But yes, you should check out their long haul flights. You should do a Mexico City to Madrid flight, that is like an 11 hour plane ride. Thank you for your review!

He's back👍

Thank you for your sharing, it’s awesome.

Thought you fell off the face of the earth-another great video! 🙌🏻

Nice flight report. The 1-2-1 seat layout in business class is modern that every airline in the world should follow.

Thank you for sharing your trip.

You’re LUCKY they offered you that shuttle, SAN Diego spotter! I had to schlep on FOOT 🦶🏽 🦶🏽 from T3-TBIT when I flew on AeroMexico a few months ago on this same B787 flight from LAX-MEX CMDX!

Just another great video

Great video Scott can’t wait to fly AeroMexico also at 5:00 I’ve made that same mistake of not filming my boarding pass being scanned before! 😩

Good job

Very cool video again man. I still can't believe that price you paid for this trip, amazing.

Going to have to give AeroMexico a shot. I’ll take a Dreamliner anywhere and I love Mexico City.

Scott, keep up the great work! I’m staying as SANspotter fan and subber! (And a Southwest freak/nut with those Southwest 737 and Southwest MAX8 pass around you at 1:34, 1:38 and 1:40)

Great video!!! What shoes were you wearing for the trip? love them!

Great review Scott. I will consider this airline to Mexico City. Nice blue shoes!

Hi I’m planning to book the same flight next month. Quick question does the seat recline fully making it into a bed in business class? Loved the video btw!

I skipped the sponsor bit, then heard what you said afterwards. Almost feel guilty now!

Scott, if we are flying Clase Premier can we use that Delta One check in area?

Not sure if Scott knew this or just Scott was being sarcastic since he did not get chicken and rice. However, the salmon was not exactly raw. It is brined and cold smoked and usually called lox.

My biggest flex is that my grandma and me flew in that plane with same flight number

Flew them from LAX to São Paulo. Loved their cabin experience and aircrew but their ground staff were AWFUL. Made my husband purchase an entirely new business class ticket on our way home because his last name is different from his green card and passport. When I called CBP they did not care which name.

I just flew recently on the 787-9 from lax to Mex and What helps to from the airport at lax and the situation with the terminals, if you have bags check them in at delta and walk to Tom Bradley because the line for security at t3 was LONG and we went to Tom Bradley for security and the line was non existent🤣.

They're my favourite North American airline by a long shot , th eother layout 787 is even better. Great fares ex BCN to the Americas

The SANspotter name originates from plane spotting at the San Diego airport? Love your videos, and the humor... keep up the good work!

uno de los vídeos de Aeroméxico fue de los primeros que te dio un millon de Views. la verdad has mejorado mucho desde ese primer video de Aeroméxico . saludos. salud !!

Such a short 3hr flight for such huge air craft

We’ve done that route many times, lucky you got a 787. Is the change to check in at T3 since travel resuming? The departure from TBIT is something new I suppose. Great review as always!

Welcome back,

Sorry for the dumb question but what is the difference between Premier Class and Business Class? I cannot seem to find much information on it. Thanks and great video.

Awesome job Scott as always! Just curious if you've already tried AM's 787-9 Business class with the subjectively better Super Diamond seats in their 1-2-1 configuration?

That looked like Terminal 2 not the new Terminal 3, based on the gate numbers being in the 20's. They'll be remodeling that terminal next. Also Southwest Terminal 1 is next to Terminal 2, not Terminal 3.

Last year I flew from LAX to MEX. I didn't know there was a bus to the tom bradley terminal. And after leaving the bags I walked outside the airport to reach the security filters of the international terminal. By the way. Your show try the flying from Tijuana in your next flight to Mexico. The CBX has a parking lot in the american side. AM sometimes flight the 787-9 which has a better Premier class than the 787-8

Dont you get access to the Delta Sky Club if you fly business class?

Hey, that was me in the Air Tahiti Nui plane coming from Paris to LAX. After all those hours in economy my seat felt like a wooden chair 🪑💺😕. How can you beat a $400 one way ticket?

you know an airline is good when you ask for a Tequila (on a flight that's not supposed to have alcohol), and they serve you a Double 🥃

This is out of topic but serval Canadian Airport Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal now have Camden Food Co . I think it’s the same one at San Diego.

I was on one of those tarmac shuttles once and it came withing a hair of hitting a baggage hauler. Brakes were slammed and screams heard.

A Flight to Mexico sans luggage, now that is impressive! I think l would have passed on the "deconstructed" smoked salmon bagel and only eat that on a Japanese Carrier seeing a "snack basket" served on flights to CDMX from US carriers makes me a teeny bit sceptical about the catering situation but you lived to tell the tale so all's well. Thanks for the laughs 👍

Nice review…..but missed the red sports shoes!

As a mexican I loved and enjoyed this funny video! So proud of our flagship airline Aeromexico Great spanish pronunciation btw!!

Absolutely fantastic trip report Scott! Also, while this product is great, they have an even better product on there 789s that’s in a 1-2-1 configuration! Pau Lucas showed it off in a trip report a while back from MEX to São Paulo! Anyways, always great seeing an upload here and I hope you’re doing well!😸

If you want to experience long haul AM Premiere, fly AM TIJ-NRT .

Should have had the lasagne :)

Babe... wake up, Scott posted.

Came here specifically for the boarding-pass-scanning footage 😔 “Butt shot” made up for it though 😃

No lounge access?

2:08…That would ACTUALLY be, “Hombre blanco pastoso con Camera”!

I just returned from Cabo and flew on United from LAX. They made us wear a face mask on the way there but on the way back it was not required. Weird. I’m not sure why AeroMexico uses that 2-2-2 config in Premiere Clase. I’m not a fan of those seats but anything is better than the back of the plane. Nice review!❤️👍✈️

Another great review! Where to next (Hawaii)?

SANor Spotter, which side of the plane is best view leaving SAN?

Problem with Mexican airlines is since Mex food in general is pretty bad, they will serve you western menus.

Onboard one now. mEX-GRU. Disappointed in this stupid configuration for seats. Especially after having just flown LAX~MEX on one of their 787-9s. They should always be using their best cabins on their longest flights. But I’m sure I’ll hear the overused excuse that “they’re working on it” and that cabin refreshes take time.

Always nice to see a review of yours, but when it’s about AeroMexico, it’s a Plus.

The day that surfshark stops sponsoring this Channel 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Long haul with AM go for it.

I really wanna fly on AM’s 787, i’ve flown on AA’s 787 but unfortunately got sat dead center of all spots.

The seats look quite thin, and I absolutely hate the colours (ultra picky) but I definitely wouldn't say no to it Aeromexico are probably one of my favourite carriers in the Americas (following JBU of course), but their dreamliners look much better than BA and LATAM's older 2-2-2 config

Tia Raquel...ok...old auntie Rachel here. While no Chicken Rice...unless I am mistaken that was smoked salmon and not raw. Please feel free to correct me.

Three hours flight and no warm dish ??? 😱😱

Those seats look like the old United Business seats.

Early!

So when did you take this flight Scott that masks were mandatory?

Por favor :) you need to learn "si soy" , nice channel by the way :)

Well acceptable but no de luxe attitude. Hot meal required. No cold fish. I know it was your choice. Did they really offered french champagne? Thank you anyhow. And scott just to please you my husband. Shared your fish selection......

Wasn't that salad in need of a dressing?

Raw fish? It’s smoked, also why are the dimming windows confusing?

I did a flight from TLV to LHR with BA back in March before the UK lifted the mask mandate (in airports and planes) and got upgraded to business class, and basically 1 hour into the flight the mandate wasn't really enforced, in fact they plied me with drinks and I didn't wear one in the terminal (I wasn't the only one)(I was a bit tipsy by that point 😉). No one cared, thankfully as a I hate the bloody things (I nearly had a panic attack at one point). This also happened to me on a BA business class flight from KEF to LHR back in September last year! I think the crews were getting annoyed with them (In fact I know they were as I have some insider info). Interesting the difference in culture between North America and the UK. Most people stopped bothering wearing them a while back (Yes someone might say "oh but covid infections are up", but this is almost certainly not due to masks, and has a lot to do with other factors). Re your last video, the reason you probably got ill a lot pre covid was because the air tends to be a lot drier on planes (very noticeable in 777s, so much better on 787s!). Also their were probably a lot more viruses circulating, and other factors. Also it seems N95 masks are better than the blue ones if you want any protection as they are 46% effective if there are no gaps (basically clamped to your face). If there are gaps, their effectiveness falls to 3%. Mechanical ventilation along with HEPA filters (and surface cleaning) are the way to go in closed environments... or you could use a respirator.

I never fly first or business, waste of money and I want to spend my money at the destination. Buy gifts for the ones back home!
