Aeroméxico Business Class to Europe, From 54K Points

Transfer bonuses galore!

There are two great options for booking Aeroméxico to Europe right now with Amex’s 25% and 20% transfer bonuses to Flying Blue and Aeroméxico Rewards, respectively.

Flying Blue offers the best deal, but Aeroméxico is still a solid option with the transfer bonus and it has access to more business class award space for up to three people.

As I always often mention, this is a great option if you’re willing to book a positioning flight or, perhaps more fun, spend a few days in Mexico on your way to or from Europe.

Now, let’s get into it.

Flight Experience

On these routes, you’ll find two cabin layouts.

On the 787-9, it’s a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout with lie-flat seats. In this layout, each seat has direct aisle access. On the 787-8, it’s a 2-2-2 layout with lie-flats but only the middle section gets direct aisle access without a neighbor needing to climb over you.

While this isn’t a cutting-edge business class experience, it’s a nice seat, the crew should be friendly, and the inflight catering is solid.
