This page goes deeper on one part of the policy. The full record is at Aeromexico Baggage Rules.
Aeromexico’s own online tool asks for your reservation code and last name to open a missing bag report. It does not issue a separate WorldTracer file number. That tool is where Aeromexico baggage tracking starts for most travelers, whether the bag is still in Mexico City or stuck on a connection abroad.
Aeromexico baggage tracking: how the tracker works
From the baggage section of aeromexico.com, a File Report button opens a portal. It asks for your reservation code or e-ticket number and your last name. Then it lets you describe the bag and its contents.
Finishing that flow issues a tracking number. That number is what Aeromexico baggage tracking runs on, not a generic case ID. A separate Track Your Baggage page on the same site takes that number and returns the bag’s current status.
Aeromexico also lists a dedicated email, amluggage@aeromexico.com. It is for travelers who need help filing a report. It also helps anyone who never received a tracking number at the airport desk.
Report a bag before you leave the airport
Aeromexico’s guidance is to check your bag’s contents right away. Report anything missing or damaged before you leave baggage claim. The airport service counter can start the same report on the spot.
The self-service report captures your flight details and a description of the bag. It also asks where you can be reached. Keep your boarding pass and the baggage claim tag stub for this step.
Aeromexico’s pages do not publish a specific hour count for domestic versus international reports. The safest move is filing the same day, at the counter or online. Its pages also do not spell out a separate rule for a connecting itinerary on a partner carrier.
Interim expenses while a bag is delayed
Aeromexico does not publish a fixed per day allowance for toiletries or a change of clothes. Some carriers print a specific reimbursement schedule; Aeromexico’s baggage pages do not. What they confirm is the reporting channel, the tracking number, and the amluggage@aeromexico.com contact.
Keep receipts for anything you buy to get by. Airlines that skip a published flat allowance still tend to ask for documentation before reimbursing anything.
When a delayed bag counts as lost
Aeromexico’s public pages do not state a fixed day count for reclassifying a delayed bag as lost. In practice, once the tracking tool shows no movement for several days, the claim shifts from delay to loss. Aeromexico handles that shift through the same online report and the amluggage@aeromexico.com channel, not a separate form.
If your tracking number shows no movement, follow up by email with your reservation code. That keeps the claim active on their end.
Compensation limits: domestic and international
The Department of Transportation puts the domestic baggage liability ceiling at 4,700 USD per passenger. DOT adjusts that figure for inflation every two years. It governs flights within the United States.
Aeromexico is a Mexican carrier. That domestic figure only applies on a flight Aeromexico operates entirely within the US, which it does not currently do. Most Aeromexico itineraries fall under a different rule instead.
For international trips, the Montreal Convention sets the liability limit at 1,519 Special Drawing Rights per passenger. That figure took effect on 28 December 2024. Some older government reference pages still print the previous 1,288 SDR ceiling, and that older number is stale.
Damaged baggage
A damaged bag follows the same reporting channel as a delayed one on Aeromexico. Report it at the counter before leaving the airport, or through the online tool. Bring photos of the damage and the original packaging if you kept it.
For the wider process across carriers, including what documentation tends to win a claim, see the site’s damaged luggage claims guide.
Cut the odds of a claim in the first place
A cheap tracker inside a checked bag turns a vague answer at the counter into a location on your phone. Reviewers who check bags often point to the Apple AirTag, 4 pack for iPhone owners. Android owners tend to reach for the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 instead.
Both keep reporting a last known location after a bag stops moving on Aeromexico’s own tracker. Pair either with a Travelambo leather luggage tag, 2 pack on the outside of the bag. A name and phone number in plain view still gets a mishandled bag home fastest.
None of this replaces filing the report promptly. It just gives you a second data point when the status page has not updated in a while.
How this compares
Aeromexico’s process centers on a reservation code, an online report, and a status lookup. That is close to what most full service carriers now run. It publishes fewer specifics on deadlines and interim expenses than some competitors post outright.
If you are weighing a US carrier on the same route, check that airline’s own lost baggage page for its published day counts first. Aeromexico’s silence on a topic does not mean there is no deadline at all.
The full Aeromexico baggage allowance covers what a bag can weigh before any of this becomes relevant. For the rest of Aeromexico’s checked allowance and fees, see the checked baggage page and the baggage fees page. The general guides on how to report a lost bag and how to track a lost bag cover steps that apply across airlines.
The bottom line
File through Aeromexico’s own online report or the airport desk the same day. Save the tracking number it gives you, and follow up by email if the status page stalls. That is the fastest path Aeromexico baggage tracking offers today.
For international trips, the Montreal Convention now caps the airline’s liability at 1,519 SDR, not the older 1,288 figure some pages still show. A tracker in the bag and a visible name tag will not speed up the airline’s process. They just give you something concrete to point to if it stalls.
