I hadn't really heard of this airline and was a little hesitant on using them. But for 450US dollars for a one way to Buenos Aires, well- I thought it was worth a shot.
Our trip from Atlanta to Buenos Aires took 2 days. We had originally flown into the states with roundtrip tickets back to London. We used one of the transfer flights to New York from Atlanta and skipped out on the rest. From New York, we flew to Mexico city- using Mexicana. This was a short flight with a small plane but we were amazed at how roomy the seats were. Usually my knees hit the seat before me and here I had 3 or 4 inches. The flight attendants were really laid back, whistling and having a good time.
From Mexico city we then transferred to Buenos Aires, again using Mexicana. This would be our 12 hour trip. Since we were flying on New Years day, the plane was pretty empty so we got to switch seats to wherever we liked. So, we sat in the middle in front of the projectors (Mexicana does not yet have on demand movies and tv shows.). Although there was plenty of room to sprawl out, we pretty much stayed in our one seat. So if you find yourself on a packed flight, you will still be able to enjoy some space. It was amazing how far back the seat goes and it was the first time I could actually fall asleep comfortably.
Service was very personal and the staff was charming. The American style, "hot dog vendor' service you get on say, American Airlines where the attendants yell "CHICKEN, PASTA, OR FISH", is non existent here. Mexicana really surprised me. It was the first flight this year that I really enjoyed. You feel like you are really getting a service on top of your flight and the staff take care into making you comfortable. I closed my eyes, drank some vino tinto and before I knew it- I was in Buenos Aires. Relaxed and rested.
