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:

  • ≥24 h: ~$58 USD

  • 4–24 h: ~$85 USD at airport / ~$81 online 

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.

🧩 Flexibility Combo Add‑On

For ultimate flexibility, Volaris offers a Flexibility Combo at booking time:

  • Unlimited date/time changes (online) during off-peak seasons — only fare differences apply

  • Route or name changes require calling customer support

  • No change fees, but fare difference still applies

    • Visit My Trips on Volaris.com or the mobile app

    • Select "Change Your Flight" and enter reservation details

⚠️ Additional Guidelines & Tips

  • Applies per passenger — changes apply to everyone in the booking when done online

  • Partial payments or boarding pass issued = no changes allowed 

  • Origin country cannot be changed — only date/time or seat on same route

  • If outbound is flown, only return flights can be modified

🧭 Real Traveler Insights

Community reports indicate mixed experiences:

“With a flexibility add-on… new flight was cheaper… system asks me to pay difference as if original ticket was lower” — due to how fare basis is reset.

Complaints about delays and communication, but travelers note compensation can apply based on Mexico’s regulations.

✅ Final Thoughts

Volaris offers flexible flight change options — but timing, route, and fare type matter:

  • Act early — best change windows are ≥24 hours.

  • Understand fees — they vary by destination and timing.

  • Use flexibility combos if you expect schedule shifts.

  • Monitor booking tools — ensure you’re not partially checked in.

Document all changes for peace of mind during travel.
