With Orbitz, they say 24 hours but it's really midnight tomorrow, so you get some more time. Orbitz is easy, you cancel online.
Unless you have some compelling reason to book thru AM directly (e.g., AMEX 5x on the Plat Personal Card), Orbitz is way easier.

Aeromexico.com shows the booking in Premier Class (and is giving the 2 free checked bags and seats). as you said at the bottom it displays fare rules for code QRLUPI... true economy cabin bookings have no free bags as of Feb1.
Do they have a type of economy+instant upgrade fare? If so, Q...UPI likely stands for UPgraded to I ? FT forum om how AA does this is they award miles based on the I cabin. Unless IRROPS occur, then we only have a Y cabin seat
speaking of irrops.... i just read on avherald.com that Aeromexico had a diversion from mexico city to tijiana due to a burning smell. They then abandoned all the passengers (at close to midnight) and told them the were on their own to get to LAX. (they didn't even get them into the destination country!)

I think the premise is that they delivered them close enough, from there you can easily walk to the destination country, scale the fence easily, and you're home... See today's demonstration from the gentleman below, lol.

Just got a "Changes have been made to your flight" email from Orbitz. I assumed it was telling me my ticket was cancelled or downgraded to economy. It was actually telling me that my schedule had changed. I now have a 3 hour connection instead of a 4 hour connection in MEX on the way out. Seat assignments have stuck though.

As for downgrading to economy, I doubt they could unilaterally do that.

AM requires that ALL changes are priced using the fares in effect TODAY. This is violation of IATA reso 017f as some changes have to be priced using the fares that were in effect when the ticket was issued.
Though its not possible to complain to IATA one can complain to DoT (dont complain about this specific fare though ). Just a piece of info.
