Upgrades on Aeromexico flights
Would and NW platinum elite be eligible for a complementary upgrade? I could not find this information on Skyteam, NW or Aeromexico web pages. The information on the Skyteam page suggested you could use mile to upgrade for a Y fare ticket.

Yes, you can use your NW miles to upgrade on full Y ticket on AM. No complimentary upgrades and no upgrades from other fares using miles are allowed for NW WP members (as well as for DL members also).

Does anyone know what miles you earn on AeroMexico? Do GE get the 100% mileage bonus? I would love to find out, as I can get a non-stop AM flight from YYZ-MEX for less than a two legger on NW or DL.

100% bonus for Golds should be there.
I wonder if DL will continue their relationship with AM as is post-merger - one of the perks for DL Medallions is complimentary EUAs on Aeromexico metal.

I would check the NW partner chart carefully about fares on AM eligible for miles and EQMs. I notice a lot of the cheaper fares are not listed as eligible.
As a NW Plat Elite the only benefit I got was being able to ask for an aisle seat near the front of the coach cabin on a cheap fare.
When I returned to SFO from MEX the last time it seemed to me that F was full of non-revs and friends of the flight attendants. In fact, all the flight attendants disappeared in F for the rest of the flight after they served Y.

You're a NW Plat so you get SkyTeam lounge access on an international itinerary.
If you are talking about for domestic AM flights then your NW WC club should work. Look at this: https://www.delta.com/traveling_chec...ions/index.jsp

I used my WC membership for the AM international lounge and got in with my 2 guests without any problems twice last year. Nice lounge that is open air (a little loud since they were doing some construction elsewhere in the airport), lots of snacks and decent beverage selection. Also free computers with internet.

I, too, thought DL Medallions get free upgrades on AM flights...is this not the case for those on NW ticket stock? Im on a EMB-175...do those aircraft even have a premium cabin?

I hate these bait and switch "partnerships" Opted instead to take a non-stop direct from PHX - MEX on US Airways. This is a continuation of my decrease in "loyalty" and chosing convenience over "benefits." On a positive note, I as a "platinum elite plus" flyer and WC member, I hope to use the lounge @ MEX.
The reality check - there are NO non-elite seats left to chose for my flight. Even the middle seat in the last row that was the only seat left a few days ago is gone. Maybe I will get lucky at the gate and get an exit row seat, five of which are still open.

Thought I would chime in since this thread got bumped back up.
I have been flying the non-stop yyz-mex and have been getting upgrades from the folks at the counter at yyz.
However, when I try to get an upgrade mex-yyz, everyone there says that this is not possible. I tell them that they give me upgrades at yyz, but it does not work. My last trip down here, I was the only one in F!!!
Well at least I get an upgrade one way.........
