This fare does not meet our 6 cents per mile criterion. Just a cheap flight for nonstop service between Los Angeles and Guadalajara for 2015 travel. Also wanted to illustrated how difficult deals to Mexico are — out of the $245 airfare, $130 of is taxes, immigration & custom fees, and other fees. Aeromexico is only keeping $115 of this.
