Why is Aeromexico asking for a visa?
So I booked a flight from the U.S. to Mexico. My country of residence and passport are U.S. I am down there regularly, 4-5 times a year. It used to be you had to fill out a form on the plane and hand it in, get half back to be turned in upon departure, but they have long since stopped that. If I go through the “cattle chute” at immigration I get a slip with a QR which leads to a digital FMM. If I go through immigration with a human, I get a stamp and a date of expiry. All good, all normal.
I am booked for a flight in a few weeks, and Aeromexico is asking me for a visa number, saying my required documents are only 50% complete (the other being my passport which is approved and on file) and I need to complete this in order to fly.
Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is there a new process that I need to follow?
