When discussing air travel with Aeromexico, it is important to observe certain precepts and standards that travelers must respect. These include restrictions and regulations imposed by the airline regarding the carriage of liquids in the cabin and in the hold. This directive, applicable at AM as at many other carriers across the globe, aims above all to guarantee the safety of all passengers and crew members on board.
Liquids in hand luggage: The rule is clear
Cabin baggage cannot contain any liquid weighing more than 100 ml (0.1kg), and the total sum of liquids in hand baggage must not exceed 1 liter (1kg). This measure concerns a variety of items such as perfumes, drinks, creams and other liquid substances.
It is essential to note that these restrictions only apply to carry-on baggage, thus excluding checked baggage.
To ensure you respect these rules, here are some recommendations:
– Check the sizes of your liquid items: Before assembling your carry-on bag, be sure to check the volumes of your liquids. Any container exceeding 100 ml must be placed in your checked baggage or discarded.
– Use clear bags: To simplify the security screening process, place all your liquid items in a clear, resealable 20cm x 20cm bag. This allows security personnel to quickly and easily identify the contents of your bag.
– Be careful when shopping tax-free: If the purchase of liquids is planned at airport Duty Free stores, be aware that these items may be subject to additional security checks. Be sure to package these items separately in a tamper-evident security bag provided by the retailer and keep your receipt handy.
Checked baggage
Aeromexico has established specific guidelines for carrying liquids in checked baggage, eliminating the confusion often associated with these regulations. Unlike carry-on baggage, there is no limit to the number of liquids you can place in your baggage. However, restrictions exist regarding the amount of liquid allowed per item per passenger.
According to Aeromexico guidelines, each liquid in baggage must not exceed 0.5 kg (or 500 grams). For example, a bottle of shampoo weighing 1 kg will not be accepted in your baggage placed in the hold.
In addition, a maximum limit of 2 kg of liquids/creams per person is established for checked baggage. It is crucial to note that this restriction applies to the total combined weight of all liquid items for each individual.
These rules have been put in place for safety reasons, aiming to minimize potential risks during the flight.
It is essential to package your products in secure, leak-proof containers to avoid any spills or incidents during transport. It should also be noted that if your liquids exceed the permitted limits, Aeromexico may refuse their transport or transfer them to your hand luggage, provided that the latter meets the required standards.
