How much does Volaris charge to change flights?

 Unexpected changes happen—whether it's a shift in travel plans, an emergency, or a sudden change of heart. If you're flying Volaris, understanding their cancellation rules upfront can save you from fees, confusion, and stress. Here’s everything you need to know about the airline’s cancellation approach and refund options.

🕒 1. 24‑Hour Risk‑Free Cancellation

Volaris offers a 24‑hour courtesy period where you can cancel for a full refund—if:

  • You book direct (via website/app or phone), at least 7 days before departure, and

  • You cancel within 24 hours of purchase

This applies to all fare types, even deeply discounted options, provided conditions are met.

📅 2. Cancellation After 24 Hours

Once the 24‑hour window closes:

• Domestic Flights (Mexico & the U.S.)

  • Cancellation fees range from MXN 750–1,000 (~USD 40–53) depending on timing

  • Refunds become travel credit (valid for 12 months) for non‑refundable fares .

• International Flights

  • Fees typically vary between USD 75–200

  • Refundable fares can get full refunds; non-refundable ones yield credit after fees.

📄 3. “Cancel for Any Reason” Add-On

For flexibility lovers, Volaris offers a CFAR (Cancel for Any Reason) option during booking:

  • Choose an 80% or 100% refund plan.

  • You must cancel 24 hours before departure, and you’ll get your money back minus the share you didn’t cover by CFAR

  • Not valid after check-in; refund processed via Hyperwallet in up to 10 days

💼 4. Refund vs. Travel Credit

  • Refundable fares: Eligible for full refund (if within 24 hours, or purchased refundable fare).

  • Non-refundable fares: Offer travel credit, which can be used within 12 months, minus cancellation fees 

  • If Volaris cancels your flight, you're entitled to a full refund or free rebooking

📲 5. How to Cancel Your Flight

You can cancel via:

  1. Online: Log in, go to “My Trips,” choose your flight, and click “Cancel Flight.”

  2. Phone: Call Volaris customer service at +1 855 865 2747 (U.S.) or +52 800 953 1667 (Mexico)

  3. Airport: Visit the ticket desk—especially useful if you're near departure.

⚠️ 6. No‑Show Policy

If you miss your flight without canceling, Volaris will classify it as a no‑show, and you forfeit your ticket entirely—no refunds or credits

🛡️ 7. Exceptions & Special Cases

In situations like medical emergencies, natural disasters, or military orders, Volaris may refund or waive cancellation fees. But you must provide documentation and request promptly
