Wow $4000 RT on AM. I bet you could buy a first class ticket on Cathay Pacific or Japan Airlines from SFO or LAX for that price. I wanted to try this out but $4000 is a bit much for AM to NRT.

The Japanese website still very incomplete. Someone please, kindly explain to me why is it that AM, not even in their brand new site for Japan, has been able to update their info for " Clase Premier " and types of service and amenities available on the T7 ?
No, really, how do you expect to sell your product if you do not properly present it and promote it ?
Some of you out there might think of me as the renegade that is always bashing this airline, but Jesus !!!

Quoting LTU932 (Reply 3): No, but it does say that there is a stop, which is most likely TIJ.
The Japanese website clearly states that TIJ is the stopover.
By the way, The Narita International Airport Official Website, in their what´s new section, tells us about the opening of a new sushi restaurant, but nothing about Aeromexico´s ops there.

Ok, this is the published full Y. Now, where are the promo fares ? This is a new flight that has to create awareness and presence. If they want to kick ass from the very beginning, they need to truly appeal to the public in an aggressive manner.

Ok, I am trying to book the MEX-TIJ-MEX portions of the MEX-NRT-MEX flight and I can't get them. I wonder how they are marketing the flight!!! If I try to buy TIJ-NRT-TIJ I get a Y fare of US$5,000
I guess AM still hasn't uploaded the cheap fares and they want to control the MEX-TIJ flight...

Flight also been advertised in several forums stating that AM will be the first and sole airline to provide nonstop MEX-ASIA flights in clear reference to what was announced by Mexicana last week regarding their introduction to the Asian Market no earlier than 2008 and through a codeshare. (IMHO with QF)

thumbs up AM
PS I wonder if AM's upgrade policies for Platinum Elite Plus members will apply for this flights. Hope so at least as an introductory offer.
we should live our lives as if we were really alive!!! H.M.

An overnight Pacific flight west to Japan is very unusual, all US and Canadian flights to Japan a day flights arriving in the afternoon. It must be the early afternoon departure slot they have? I thought the return was nonstop to Mexico City, The Tijuna stop was just going to Japan because of MEX altitude.

TIJ is an important industrial center with some demand to Japan, not to mention there is some feed at TIJ from other major Mexican cities like GDL and MTY (not sure what others but I am sure there are some).
Nonstop NRT-TIJ-NRT makes those other services easier.

The TIJ-NRT portion of AM's flight will be great for people in the San Diego County area, especially the southern cities/burbs.
A lot closer than LAX if you live closer to the border.

Quoting DILF (Reply 12): OK, I'll be the one to ask this: why is it stopping in, of all places, Tijuana?
If you look at the greater circle route between Mexico and Japan, Tijuana is a perfect stop over. The city is booming, has a good number of Japanese manufacturing plants and has a good middle and upper middle and wealthy class population who can support a flight along with cargo opportunities. San Diego-Tijuana is a growing dynamic bilingual region full of people with ties on both sides of the border. Sure,Tijuana is full of corruption and drug rings, but it is still doing very well. You learn to live with it.

San Diego is one reason.
25 Boeing7E7: Yup. Here's a thought. People want to stay pissy about Miramar get some kind of bi-national agreement together for TJ airport and build the cross bor
26 DILF: I think I was just more surprised that it had to make a stop at all. In the northeast US, we just don't hear much about Tijuana as a destination so -
27 Gigneil: Unfortunately, the extremely hot and high nature of MEX makes the route a stressful one for the 777 going Westbound. It could be DONE, it can just be
28 EddieDude: I am very positively surprised by this. I don't know how AM managed to get the NRT slots, but good job! Something nobody has mentioned but I think wou
29 United319: Now when I go home to San Diego, I can drive twenty minutes south to TIJ and hop on that flight to NRT versus driving two hours north to LA in the I-5
30 N200WN: Good for TJ. This is the most interesting new route from any airline in a long time. I wonder from where will be the source of information about how m
31 EddieDude: Yes, I believe MTY-MAD is running at 2x weekly using 762ERs, but I am not 100% positive. Maybe Ghost can confirm.
32 Ghost77: Yes, AM is flying MEX-MTY-MAD 02X a week and they'll be keeping it so far. Eddiedude - AM-Mexico's government helped and was/were able to get NRT's sl
33 Centrair: I am excited for AM but sad that they are not flying to NGO. All the original talk about this flight was that it would go to NGO to tap the Chubu Mone
34 Gortsilo: Fantastic news; now it's official: AM to Asia. CUU, HMO, TRC, AGU etc. Some northern and central cities must benefit from this flight.- Bst rgs.
35 XA744: I think you´re a Northwest true lover !!! ... Best regards
36 XA744: I believe you are very right Ghost. Correct me if am wrong fellows, but I think this goes back a long way to the days of former president Luis Echeve
37 Wahoo: This is great news! I've been driving to TIJ from San Diego for 12 years. Cheaper flights to destinations that SAN servers and ones that it does not.
38 DavestanKSAN: Great news, congrats to AM! And selfishly really nice for us San Diegans to have a NRT service so close to home. I wonder if there are certain limita

42 Krasof: Great news !! Next EZE and LHR....any news / chances on this?
43 Ghost77: EZE service its supposed to be MEX-CUN-EZE, 2X weekly. Could be done with B767s, last I heard is that 02 B752s are staying till December 2007, then,

46 RobertS975: The TIJ stop is technical... there will be little San Diego traffic since there is no AM flight in the reverse direction.
47 M180up: If you check the replies above you can see that the routing is MEX-TIJ-NRT-TIJ-MEX, so there is a flight returning ... please read before posting...

51 Krasof: Thanks Fyano. Very interesting, indeed. I do not know about the rest of the world but I am surely in need of an AM route to LHR. As to NRT I wish for
52 RobertS975: Well, in that case, there are many other reasons why folks from the US side of the border will not use TIJ... it can take several hours to cross the
53 EddieDude: I think EZE is a must for AM. MX does wonderfully with their 6x weekly service and AM would do well to take advantage of AR's lack of long-haul plane
