On the long-haul routes between Europe and Mexico City, you will be travelling in a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The configuration depends on whether the aircraft is a B787-8 or B787-9. On the route between Portugal and Spain, a Boeing 737 or an Embraer E-Jet operated by Air Europa is used. You’ll also fly Air Europa between Madrid and Cancún. On some other routings, you would fly KLM or TAP to Amsterdam or Paris and then fly Aeromexico from there.

Air Europa Business Class

Air Europa arranges seats in a 2-2-2 configuration. All seats are facing forwards with a slight angle towards the neighboring seat. While this is uncommon, it has not been criticized as too intimate. Especially the food & beverage service has received great reviews. A highlight of Air Europa’s Business Class is the baggage allowance of 3 x 23kg.

Due to the dense seating (for Business Class flights) and friendly flight attendants, Air Europa’s Business Class has been deemed to convince with warmth & personality, not luxury. A more detailed review can be found here (Boeing 787) and here (Airbus A330).
