Why Volaris
Practical strengths for value-minded travelers
Fares and add-ons
Volaris sells unbundled fares: a low base fare plus optional extras for checked baggage, seat assignments, priority boarding and in-flight purchases. Buying add-ons online or in advance is cheaper than airport rates. For families and budget planners, the à-la-carte model lets you control total cost by selecting only the services you need for each trip.
Booking and managing trips
Reserve flights on Volaris.com or the mobile app, check in online, and manage changes through the Manage Trips portal. Change fees and refundability depend on fare type; many lower-cost tickets are nonrefundable but convertible to travel credit. Volaris also runs periodic flash sales—subscribe to alerts or join the airline’s membership club for deeper discounts.
