Tips for booking Volaris flights
Volaris charges extra for carry-on bags and checked bags. A $89 base fare can become $140+ with a carry-on. Always add bag fees before comparing against Aeromexico or U.S. carriers with included bags.
Volaris often offers the most direct U.S. connection to smaller Mexican cities. For destinations like Oaxaca, Morelia, Zacatecas, or Tepic, Volaris may provide the only nonstop from your U.S. gateway.
Volaris' cheapest fares on U.S.–Mexico routes are available furthest from departure. Booking 6 to 10 weeks out typically secures the lowest prices before they step up.
Volaris Club (paid annual membership) gives access to lower fares and reduced bag fees throughout the year. For travelers who fly Volaris two or more times annually, the membership often pays for itself quickly.
Frequently asked questions
What is Volaris' base airport?
Volaris is headquartered in Guadalajara and operates its primary hub at Guadalajara's Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla International Airport (GDL). It also has significant operations at Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX) and Monterrey (MTY).
Does Volaris fly to Central America?
Yes — Volaris has expanded into Central America, serving destinations in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras from Mexican cities and select U.S. gateways. Central America routes are more limited than the U.S.–Mexico network.
Does Volaris include bags in the fare?
No — Volaris charges extra for both carry-on and checked bags. Only one personal item that fits under the seat is included free. Bags added at booking are the cheapest; gate-day bag fees are the most expensive. Always add bags at the time of booking if you know you'll need them.
Is Volaris a budget airline?
Yes — Volaris is an ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) modeled after Spirit and Frontier in the U.S. It strips fares to the absolute minimum and charges separately for all extras. The model works well for travelers flying with just a personal item; for those needing bags, the total cost can approach that of a traditional carrier.
