Volaris Airlines Flight Change Policy
🕒 When Can You Change Your Flight?
Up to 4 hours before departure — changes are allowed if you haven’t checked in, your fare is fully paid, and you haven’t obtained your boarding pass
Within 24 hours of booking — changes are free and fare differences apply.
After that initial window, changes may incur fees and fare differences.
💸 How Much Does It Cost?
Volaris uses a layered fee system based on timing and route:
Domestic flights (Mexico internal):
Change ≥ 24 hours before departure: ~$40 USD
Change 4–24 hours before departure: ~$53 USD
International flights (outside Mexico & Central America):
≥24 h: ~$75 USD
4–24 h: ~$100 USD
Central America routes:
Add any fare difference if the new flight is more expensive; refunds aren’t issued for cheaper flights.
🔄 What About Same-Day Changes?
Yes, you can change flights on the same day, up to 1 hour before departure, provided it's the same route and airport. Fees (typically $25–$75) plus fare difference apply.
