9. there was one woman at the end who said she loved discounts

She seemed more positive about Mexico ? Maybe it was just the discount that made her positive lol

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. ...

You are correct. And I should not assume.

6. I wonder how they define Mexican DNA?

Hmm.

[violetpastille]

8. And if you have "100 percent Mexican DNA"?

Free?

I actually went and looked on the company's website. I'm not a sucker, I just want a cheap vacation.

I couldn't find anything.

New York (CNN) — In 2017, about 35 million American citizens traveled to Mexico, visiting beachy spots such as Puerto Vallarta to historic sites such as Chichen Itza.

But as political tensions flare between Mexico and its northern neighbor the United States, one airline decided to be proactive.

AeroMexico, the country's national carrier, unveiled a program called "DNA Discounts," which offers discounts on flights to Americans who can show by taking a test that they have Mexican DNA.

The amount of the discount depends on the percentage of Mexican ancestry. For example, a person who has 15% Mexican heritage qualifies for 15% off.

12. That's about as far as I got.

It's just a "virally" advertisement. Aeromexico has no comment.

11. I wish other airlines would do this.

I'd love a 47% discount on a trip to Norway.

14. Already saved to hard drive -

and sent them a note. What a great ad!

[jmowreader]

15. That ad shows sloppy operational security right there

The plane that's flying off the top of the screen at the very start of the video is a B52 bomber - what else has eight engines?

Until now, I didn't know the Mexicans had any of those.
