Baggage, changes and fare conditions

Allowances and fees differ by fare brand, route and booking channel, and carriers revise them often. Rather than print a number that may be wrong on the day you fly, here is what actually varies with Volaris and what to confirm before you pay.

Cabin baggageBudget carriers commonly include one small under-seat bag only; a full-size overhead cabin bag is usually a paid extra. Check the dimensions, not just the weight.
Checked baggageAlmost always priced separately, and cheapest when added at booking rather than at the airport.
Seat selectionAdvance selection is typically chargeable; free assignment at check-in is the fallback. Extra-legroom and exit rows carry a premium.
ChangesWhether a change is permitted, and the fee plus any fare difference, is set by your fare brand rather than by the airline as a whole.
Cancellation and refundsRefundability is a fare-brand property. Even on non-refundable fares, government taxes and some charges are usually reclaimable.
Name changesRules vary widely - some carriers permit a correction for a fee, others require a new booking. Check spelling against your passport at the time of booking.
Infants and childrenUnder-twos usually travel on a lap for a percentage of the adult fare; a seat requires a child fare and an approved restraint.
PetsIn-cabin carriage, hold carriage and breed restrictions differ per carrier and per destination, and some routes prohibit animals entirely.
Special assistanceRequest at least 48 hours ahead. Assistance is a legal entitlement in the EU, UK and US, but it must be booked to be guaranteed.

Where to confirm: the binding text is Volaris’ own conditions of carriage and the fare rules shown at checkout. If your ticket is a codeshare, the operating carrier’s baggage rules normally apply to the whole journey.
