SkyTeam partners Air France and KLM are currently selling tickets for their premium economy seats on flights to Mexico City for only €790 if you depart from Spain. Prices start at only €790 from Barcelona. However, these tickets only include 12 kg of hand luggage. The standard fare which includes 2x 23kg of luggage, costs €150 more.
Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of €825 or less. It can then redirect you to KLM’s or Air France’s booking site:
Both airlines use a Boeing 787 for these flights. This is good news, as all KLM 787s have received the new premium comfort class by now. Depending on who you fly with, you’ll either have a stop in Amsterdam or Paris. The flight to Mexico City then takes about 12 hours. Personally, I think that KLM’s premium economy is better than Air France’s.
Search & Book
This deal is available for trips starting before March 7, 2024, as long as you spend at least 6 days (or a Sunday) in Mexico. You also have to book at least 14 days before departure. While these tickets are non-refundable, you can rebook them for €250 + the price difference.
You can also fly after March 7 – until the end of May – if you’re willing to pay about €30 more. Our calendar above displays all available dates for less than €825. You can also find all available dates on Google Flights. These prices are directly available on KLM‘s and Air France‘s websites.
Mileage
The short-haul flights are issued in booking class Y, while the transatlantic flights are issued in booking class A. To give you an example, flying from Madrid with KLM in both directions would get you:
