A round trip within Mexico with Aeromar is 35,000 miles (17,500 mile one way), which is the equivalent of an international trip between Mexico and the US. It seems like there should be a different (reduced) mileage amount for flights within Mexico only (which is what Aeromar flies mostly).

While 35K for a roundtrip in Mexico seems expensive, it is consistent with the mileage chart available.

Edit: I wonder if this pricing extends back to when it was assumed that one would have to transit the US to go from Mexico to Mexico?
