Watch Out For: Hidden Fees & Traps

Aeromexico’s website shows a $299 base fare, but adds $65 for a checked bag at the airport—never displayed in search results. I paid $65 extra for a 22-lb suitcase at GDL baggage counter in March 2025, while United includes one checked bag in their $342 fare. Also, avoid booking through third-party sites: Expedia adds a $12 "service fee" not visible during search, inflating the total by 3.2%.
