There is limited time left to choose! At midnight February 7th, these fares will cease to exist.
Not So Fast…
Of course, it’s only natural to wonder, “What’s the catch?”. There really is no catch, just acute awareness.
Something travelers should be wary of before jumping for joy at these insane prices is that Mexico does things a little differently with airfare. Yes, the base fare will truly be as low as $72. But shoppers should keep an eye out for an extra fee known as “TUA”.
This is basically a cover charge on ALL flights to be able to use the airport in whichever city you travel to/from. Some Mexican airlines let you pay the TUA at a later date. Volaris is not one of those airlines, so purchasers will need to pay these fees upon checkout online. While it may seem like a nuisance at first glance, there will still be many flights that are a steal of a deal, even with the annoying fee.
Fares are going to be different based on a variety of factors. It’s important to double-check the terms and conditions for any blackout dates or other useful information before going down the rabbit hole of Cheap Flight Land.
One such condition is that all flights at the $72 price point will only be categorized as Basic. This means passengers will not be allowed to bring a carry-on without whipping out their credit card again.
Unless you are a frequent budget airline travel hacker used to the challenges of Allegiant and Spirit, then paying a little extra might be best.
More About Volaris
For those who may not have heard of this airline, the first question might be, “Is it safe?” The answer is an astounding “Yes!”.
Volaris is certified as a 3-star low-cost airline, according to Skytrax. They offer a modern fleet of Airbus A319/320/321 models, so travelers should feel safe aboard their planes no matter the destination.
They have been in business since 2006 and have sustained continued growth over the years. They became Mexico’s most popular airline in 2022, with over 25.5 million passengers. This achievement was in part to a competitor, Interjet, going out of business during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Passengers should take note this is a budget, no-frills airline and should not expect any complimentary snacks or refreshments. Menus are provided onboard, and U.S. dollars are not accepted as cash payments. Only Mexican pesos and major credit cards are accepted onboard for food and beverages.
