"This airline is unreliable"

(United States)

Trip Verified | I should have learned from my siblings. They got stranded by Volaris in December. I booked four tickets for my mother (who flew from Los Angeles to Mexico City)and family members that she was visiting. They showed up to the airport in Tapachula Mexico, and were told there were no reservation. My credit card had been charged and everything was supposed to be good to go. I called the customer service and the gentleman was useless. All he said, there was a problem with your card and you need to rebook. I was flaming hot. I explained my card had already been charged and he said, there's nothing he can do because that's a finance issue. I asked him to connect me to them, he said he couldn't. He said my money would be returned and it was a week later. How can there be an issue if they refunded my money? This airline is unreliable. My siblings had similar experience. Pay a little more and skip Volaris.

"stay away from Volaris"

(United States)

Not Verified | Real good chance you're gonna get burned by this airline I would stay far away. I waited a couple of months for airline fees to go down and get a round trip with them from San Antonio to Huatulco Mexico for $475. when I went to check in to start the trip they wanted to charge me 15 bucks to print a ticket since I hadn't done it online. that was an omen. Then on the plane you find out they're charging you for the little bag of peanuts and a soda. Made it down there OK and when it was time to return to San Antonio I I found out they oversold the flight and I couldn't get on and they wouldn't do anything about it at all it was horrible. Their solution was to send me down the counter to Aeromexico and I had to pay them 300 bucks to get to Mexico City before I got back on Volaris to go to San Antonio. But I had to do that when you have people watching your house and your pets you can't get back one or two days later when they have to be at work and school. I could've just spent $800 and gone with a class carrier like Aeromexico in the first place. A really stressful situation and horrible and being down there in a different country there was nothing I can do about it except pay more to Aeromexico to get back in time. Take my advice and stay away from Volaris it's only a matter time you'll get burned by them. Just go with a better airline like Aeromexico or whoever you choose that won't charge you for tickets at the counter and peanuts and sodas on the plane and leave you stranded.

"Never again Volaris"

(United States)

Trip Verified | At the gate B-18 two staff from this airline asked to line up and weighted our luggage and asked people to pay. I did pay 1500.00 Mexican pesos approximately. Due to the chaos and many people surrounding the desk the lady asked to pay and proceeded to place a tag in may luggage. They did not gave me a receipt or anything and I was able to fly to Guadalajara. In Guadalajara when I was about to board another Volaris staff demanded me to pay for my luggage again! When I try to explained that I had pay in Mexico for my luggage he stated that if I would not pay I would not be allow into the plane. He would not hear my arguments at all and would not let me talk and instead he continued threatening me with not allowing me into the plane. Also he decided to send me to the security inspection which is something they do randomly. He did it as a way to punish me. I had to pay again 1584.00 to allowed me in. Rude person, abusive and felt humiliated. Never again Volaris.

"I never would have flown with them"

(United States)

Trip Verified | They tried to charge us for something that wasn't listed after we had paid. The charge was disputed on a credit card so they took us off the manifest and we didn't fly out to start. On the way back they didn't do a good job on the pre flight inspection and the plane didn't take off because it didn't have enough speed. They canceled the flight on the runway and as we got off we saw that a tire had delaminated and there had been a brake failure. The terms and conditions state that if they cancel a flight the passengers are entitled to a hotel, transportation to and from and a minimum 25% refund. They tried to screw us out of the first flight back and the entire service is over priced for what they offer on top of all the corners they cut. If I'd known this was a frontier subsidiary I never would have flown with them.

"refund or change process is difficult"

(United States)

Not Verified | Los Angeles to Cancun. I got into an argument with the customer service lady who was in charge of baggage control for losing my luggage during my flight and said that I would have to drive back to the airport to pick it up. I didn't understand why was this my responsibility to pick it up. The refund or change process is difficult. I called to change my flight and wanted to charge me $450 dollars more. No help from anyone. The guy on the phone pretty much told me that I have two choices - either lose out on the money ($357) or change the flight and pay an additional $450 for a one way ticket.

"years of steady declines in service"

(United States)

Not Verified | After years of steady declines in service and price Volaris has finally caused me to write this bad review. I've flown with Volaris since it's inception because I have owned businesses and homes in Mexico and San Diego. The price gouging has always been creative with them but is at a new level. I can afford it and typically fly first class internationally and in the US so it's not about the cost but the total lack of value. This airlines on time record is fast falling. They treat customers about as badly as anything I've seen. Nothing is invested in organizing planing and deplaning and they seem to think we're lucky to pay them to fly their typically dirty planes. Today, for the fifth time this year, our plane was delayed. No updates are given just a delay notice. Then the bussed us to a plane- 1.5 hours late- and let all passengers run for the doors like a stampede from a theater fire. Unapologetic as always I'll return the favor by never flying with Volaris again. I flew Alaska on the way out and will now alternate between them and Viva Aerobus. Adios Volaris!

"charged my family over 600 dollars for the luggage"

(United States)

Not Verified | Worst airline possible. They are rude and don’t care. They charged my family over 600 dollars for the luggage that they already had paid for. And not only that they charged my dads card 400$. Do not fly with them, they don’t care about anyone.

"This airline is horrible"

(United States)

Trip Verified | This airline is horrible. The customer service is disrespectful and useless. I had paid for an extra suitcase and when i got to the airport i had to pay extra for the suitcase i already paid for. As i was coming back, I was at the airport checking in online and it said i owned money for the suitcase I paid twice for. Due to problems with immigration, I had to change my flight and to change it was 110 per person, the lady on the desk said we can choose from 2 dates. I choose one of the dates and paid the money to change the flight. After 30 minutes, I was told that i couldnt fly the date that was chosen because there was no space and had to wait a month to fly. Why would they say they have space then charge the money just to say they dont have the space. Now i have to wait a month to get back to New York. After, I called volaris costumer service to see if I could get anything sooner and the 2 people i spoke to were extremely disrespectful. This is my first and last time flying with them, they made my vacation a horrible experience.
