Tried to make a reservation (one week later) and purchase a ticket on their web site - but it was an abomination. Went in circles over and over but
finally got to the payment page - $368.69 usd!!!
They have many "extras" to pay for and everything is priced separately - including a carry-on bag and the seat!!! Absolutely ridiculous!
I'd seen several mentions on BN stating Volaris fares are an incredible "bargain"! Say what??? |
They do have deals but you need to pick your way through the site since they will automatically add on a bunch of things that you probably don't want.
You also need to activate promo codes or you won't get a sale fare. If you wait until you check in a few days before your flight you can select your
seat for free (versus selecting it when you buy your ticket, which costs money). They do allow 1 free check-in and 1 free carry on; but the options
at "baggage" won't default to that so you have to scroll through the options and pick the ones say that "no charge".
Personally, I prefer Interjet over Volaris and will pay a little more to fly them if I have the choice. I think there's a little more legroom, there
is free booze and the flight attendants seem cheerier. But Volaris is generally cheaper and sometimes really cheap; way more so than Aeromexico or a
US carrier! |
