Availability for international flights into and out of MEX seem to be mainly in Business Class, not unlike COPA.
But add some local ones in (e.g. from Tijuana), and suddenly you see Y...
Unlike Iberia you can book one-way award flights, and therefore also international connections via Mexico!
The miles required are different from the *A award table, some slightly higher (e.g. Mex-USA), some slightly lower (USA-Europe)
Combinations with *A airlines don't seem to be possible (very early impression).
Selecting *A in the airline combo box doesn't find Aeromexico flights, selecting SmartSearch (or of course AM themselves) does
TIJ-PVG MEX-NRT direct flights at 42500/82500 also higher than *A. I can see both classes with good availability for these routes.
