Nice airline

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I flew Volaris from Cancun to Mexico City.
  • - Luggage was left in Cancun and delivered to my hotel in 2 hours.
  • - The response was fast and rated 5 stars.

I used Volaris to fly from Cancun to Mexico City during my holidays. They left my suitcase in Cancun, but I had it delivered to my hotel within 2 hours of my arrival there.

Very fast response.

They deserve 5 stars for this, although a situation occurred. This kind of thing happens to all airlines; how they handle this matters the most.

Pros:
  • Fast response
Cons:
  • Rough seats

User's recommendation: trust them

MI pagina de pase anual Volaris no aceptaba pagos con ninguna de mis tarjetas y me cobro dos veces para el mismo viaje

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Feb 16, 2026: card payments failed; annual passes paid with Banamex.
  • - BoA charged $141.75, $57.03, $57.03 total $255.81; refunds requested.

Con nuestro pase anual , mi esposa Patricia Dolores y yo volamos a la Ciudad de Mexico el día 16 de Febrero del 2026, pero mi app del pase anual no aceptaba ningún pago de tarjeta de crédito, trate de usar banco de America la primera vez dos veces y no lo aceptaba y tampoco ninguna otra tarjeta, y después de varias horas pude pagar el viaje de ambos con mi tarjeta Banamex, pero aun así a mi no me daba mi pase de abordar y tuve que ir directamente al mostrador de Volaris y pagar los impuestos TUA , y ahi a la agente de Volaris tampoco le aceptaba mi tarjeta en sus computadoras del aeropuerto de Houston Texas, y tuvo que pedir ayuda a otra agente y finalmente me dieron mi pase de abordar, yo pague la con mi tarjeta los vuelos de mi esposa y mio en mi computadora personal, lo siguiente:

Banamex 16 de Febrero $ 2,103.00 de mi pase anual Aurelio Dolores

Banamex 16 de Febrero $577.00 de mi pase anual Aurelio Dolores

Banamex 16 de Febrero $2,103.00 en el pase anual de mi esposa Patricia Dolores

Banamex 16 de Febrero $577.00 en el pase anual de mi esposa Patricia Dolores

Hasta ahi esta todo bien.

Me llego una información de Banco de America diciéndome que habían echo un cargo a mi tarjeta en línea

y al checar mi estado de cuenta bancaria de Bank of America vi en Volaris me cargaron la cantidad de

Banco de America Febrero 16 $141.75 USD

Banco de America Febrero 16 $57.03 USD

Banco de America Febrero 16 $57.03 USD

Como Ustedes podrán verificar que estos últimos tres cargos de Banco de America son improcedentes, y necesito que me los bonifiquen o apliquen un crédito por el monto total que suman $255.81 USD.

Le agradeceré que chequen los pagos dobles que les envío y me informen al respecto.

Atentamente

Impossible to obtain a refund on overcharge baggage!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Used Volaris app to check in for 2 travelers.
  • - Charged for 4 bags each ($562).
  • - Agent could see the issue but could not refund.

Utilized the Volaris app to check in for our flight (2 travelers). Thought the question was total number of checked bags?, which I answered 2 each.

The question appears to have been, total number of additional bags each?. So long story short, we were charged for 4 bags each or $562 to my credit card. Contacted the Volaris agent at the counter, and she could clearly see what happened in their system, but she was not authorized to provide a refund. She provided a phone number for customer service which was worthless.

It was a bot who could not understand our issue.

After searching for additional phone numbers on the web, to hopefully find a live agent with authority (several hours of my time over a couple days), I gave up, and contacted my credit card company to contest the charges. They were extremely helpful, as opposed to Volaris.

Over Charged Baggage and Change of date on my flight

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Bought two tickets with baggage and protection.
  • - Fees charged again when changing date, including 55lb bag and $170.
  • - No live agent contact for refunds.

I purchased two tickets to Guad. and added the baggage and the protection, and it turned out that they charged me again when I changed the day on my flight, and then my brother had to pay not only the price of a 55 lb bag but $170. To top it off, when I tried to get a refund, there was no way to get in touch with a live agent.

Loss:
$255
Pros:
  • Are affordable and some what confortable
Cons:
  • When you have issues like being over charged there is no one to talk too

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Make sure you don't pay on line when you have to make chages

Customer service worse than non- existent

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Added 1 piece of luggage; used WhatsApp.
  • - Chats were slow; replies 30 min to 6 hours; about 15 hours total; 50% higher prices; no contact number.

I needed to add 1 piece of luggage. I've spent days trying to add it on the phone through WhatsApp customer service.

Each reply was taking from 30 minutes to 6 hours or more. If I didn't reply for 10 minutes, I got cut off. Three times, so three conversations of 15 hours total. New agents were telling me the price was 50% more.

And then I was cut off again.

No one gave me a number to contact. This is awful service, one of the worst I've ever had.

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: Avoid, viva airbus much better

Fix online service and chat interaction

AI Highlights
  • - Online flight change failed.
  • - System asked to call, but no contact info was provided.
  • - Phone change costs $267 more than online price.

I attempted to change my flight online, however, the purchase would not go through totally. The online system indicated I had to call a customer service representative but offered no phone number or email address.

When finally contacting a real person, the cost of changing my flight was $267 USD higher than the online price. I felt like I was being scammed, offered a low price online that would not work and then having to pay a premium price when talking to a customer service representative.

Don’t fly Volaris

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Avoid this airline; customer service is terrible.
  • - Flight canceled two days before takeoff; a $35 per person credit offered and insurance not honored.

If you can possibly avoid this airline, do it. Their customer service is terrible and almost non existent.

We cancelled our Mexico trip two days before the flight because of the gangs retaliation for their leaders death, but were unable to get through to the airline until an hour before it took off. I tried communicating with them on WhatsApp and kept getting messages that I could reschedule my flight. Their system wouldnt allow me to do this. I filed a complaint on their website and got a message saying that they would credit me $35 each for my husband and I.

Thats less than what I paid for a checked piece of luggage.

These tickets cost hundreds of dollars and I paid extra for their insurance which they wouldnt honor because I didnt reschedule at least four hours before my flight. I tried to do that for two days!

Unreasonable charges

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Booked a roundtrip to El Salvador on 2/21.
  • - Was told to pay return fare again around $380 to change the date, and canceling would cost around $200.

I booked a roundtrip to El Salvador on 2/21. I called them two hours later on the same day because there was an error on my return date.

when I finally reached someone, I was told that I would need to pay the return fare all over again to change the date, it was around $380 plus.

I was also told that if I wanted to cancel the entire fare I would need to pay $200.00. I chose to cancel and booked my trip with United.

User's recommendation: Don't use this airline!
