Senator on Maxicana
Hi
Flying normal Economy on LAX - CUN via MEX in October.
Apparently we get M&M for that leg. Not bad for a super cheap ticket.
However do a Senator have any privileges on Mexicana, like business class check-in and lounge access?
Or is the LH lounge in a reasonable distance to the MX gates in LAX and/or MEX?
THX

Wrong (was amazed myself...)
At MEX you have access to the Mexicana-Lounges, both domestic and international. Both lounges do of course not have *-Alliance-signs anymore, but the Lufthansa-logo.I could enter both lounges on both terminals during my 10 hours-transit at MEX. As LH SEN we have the same rights as a MX-Gold-passenger.
-> This was the situation in March 2008.
On my way back with LH I even could compare the difference between a lounge (MX) and an RCC
The international MX-lounge is one of the best I have seen so far: There are quiet areas, nice snacks, and even a large fitness room!

I can't say more than this. MX-passengers also have access to "All Lufhtansa Lounges" according to the MX-website - but only on "Lufhtansa"-codeshares:

If they know about better lounges outside of the RCC, they're going to want to invade something.

Just reporting back that Mexicana was allowing us to use the business class check-in booth in LAX and in CUN.
This was great because the check-in procedures were very slow and the economy check-in queues were long.
There was no Lufthansa icon at the check-in counter, so I am not sure if they were just kind or if is a policy.
Didn't have time enough to go to the lounges.
On a side note: Mexicana's service was good and the M&M points were posted super fast. Will fly them again.

Hopefully my QF-Gold (soon QF-Plat) will do the trick in the future!

Different but related question:
We will be flying MX on a domestic flight to MEX (actually the flight will be operated by Click Mexicana, but we will be on a MX ticket). In MEX we are continuing on LH to FRA on a separate ticket and separate booking.
Will they check our bags thru to the LH flight? How much time should I leave for the connection? Any other advice?
Thanks for your answers.
