American is using Embraer E175s on the route, operated by its partner airline Envoy Air. Flight AA3832 departs the Arizona airport at 20:00 local time and arrives in Mexico at 23:14 local time. The aircraft then night-stops in Monterrey. The return flight, AA3835, departs Monterrey at 08:11, returning to Phoenix at 09:50 local time.
