My grandson decided to fly in and out of Tijuana airport to join one of the 7X pit crews this year. On the way home they would not let him carry-on his MC helmet, $40 charge to ship it as luggage at Tijuana. MC helmet was OK as carry-on in US.

Did you try to claim the helmet as carry bag or personal item? Volaris and most airlines distinguish between the two. Most motorcycle helmets have dimensions that make them too big to be classified as personal item, so they are treated as carry on luggage or checked luggage.

We never had a problem on several flights with aeromexico.
