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

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.

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