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.
The promotion is specifically targeted at states in the Western United States, including Arizona and Utah.
