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.
