Aeromexico has dropped the price of their Business Class flights from Vancouver to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico down to $585 CAD roundtrip including taxes.
The flights have 1 stop each way in Mexico City.
You can also find flights from Vancouver to Puerto Vallarta in business class for $50 more.
And flights from Vancouver to Huatulco in business class for $128 more.
I’m a little conflicted about these.
On the one hand:
– The Business Class price is about the same as current/typical Economy Class prices to SJD, which is highly unusual.
Normally Aeromexico charges somewhere in the range of $1000-$1600 CAD roundtrip for these flights.
– Winter dates are available (January, February, March 2025).
On the other hand:
– These flights do connect through Mexico City, and SJD is a destination most people expect to fly nonstop to. These flights take just under 10 hours, versus 4.5 hours for a nonstop flight.
– All passengers need to go through immigration and customs at MEX, and 1.5 hours can be very tight.
– Aeromexico Business Class isn’t truly the all out business class experience on short haul flights. Only their routes using the Dreamliner have lie flat seats, and this isn’t one of them.
Between YVR and MEX you can expect recliner seats in a 2-2 configuration. Between MEX and SJD it will be recliner seats in a 2-2 configuration, or 3-3 with the middle seat blocked out.
– There’s an Aeromexico business class lounge at MEX, but as mentioned above, you wouldn’t have time for it.
What about turning these into a 2-in-1 Multi-City trip, visiting both Mexico City and Cabo?
