AEROMEXICO CLASE PREMIER

MEXICO CITY (MEX) TO NEW YORK (JFK)

- REVIEWED BY Mariana Zenizo

ON THE GROUND: I arrived at Mexico City Internatio­nal Airport early in the morning, ready for my Aeromexico flight to JFK, the first leg of my journey to attend

The Trazees, Wherever Awards and Leisure Lifestyle Awards 2021 event. In spite of making an early online check-in, I went to the airline counter to present my negative COVID results so I could enter the United States. Once through security, I headed to Aeromexico’s Premier lounge to have a coffee before boarding. My time there was peaceful and the attention incredible, making it the ideal place to wait for a flight. As my boarding time approached, I headed to my gate. The airline team received me warmly and directed me to the Premier counter and to my seat.

PRE-FLIGHT: Clase Premier on the Dreamliner 787-9 offers spacious and extremely comfortabl­e seats with plenty of space so you don’t have to disturb the person next to you. We were the first to board, so the flight attendant offered us juice, water or Champagne as we waited for take-off.

IN-FLIGHT: Once in the air, I explored the variety of available entertainm­ent — there’s definitely no way to get bored in flight! I was pleased the Wifi quality was good enough for me to send out some emails and get ahead of the day before work even started. After working a little, I took an involuntar­y nap which my mind demanded, but the flight attendant was kind to wake me up for breakfast. I chose the pancakes with fruit and coffee. Due to the time of the flight, a few hours after breakfast the crew offered snacks — ideal for me since I had a flight connection. Just before they cut the service, I accepted a glass of Champagne. There was no better way to finish my perfect flight than with a flourish!
