Flying with Volaris can be a pleasure if you fall into that category of people! First of all, it would be advisable to check the baggage policy of the airline, and doing so will keep you from the annoying surprise of extra costs at the airport. Therefore, being very helpful and nice at the same time, here is a guide that will explain how much luggage is permitted by Volaris' Baggage Policy, its size and weight, and the respective costs.

What is Volaris' Baggage Policy?

Volaris Baggage Policy has three fare packages: Zero, Basic, and Plus. Baggage allowance varies significantly depending on the selected fare.

Zero fare: This is their cheapest option. It only accommodates one personal item — a small backpack, purse or laptop bag, for instance.

Basic fare: This fare option includes a personal item plus one carry-on bag.

Plus fare: You’re getting even more — a personal item, a carry-on bag, and one checked bag.

If you need more bags than allowed, Volaris lets you buy up to five extra checked bags, but at an additional cost.

1. Volaris Carry-On Size and Weight

The dimensions of carry-on luggage (in the case of Basic and Plus fares) must obey the following rules: 

• The maximum Volaris carry-on size (length × width × height) may not exceed 22 × 16 × 10 inches. 

• The sum of the weights of the carry-on and personal item may exceed only 33 lbs for Basic fares. 

• For Plus fare you can have 44 lbs in total weight for both items.

• What Volaris refers to as "cabin baggage" is what most people consider the carry-on, and they also state that two small cabin bags are allowed in some fare types. 

2. Checked Baggage (Luggage You Store in the Hold)

If you want to check in a bag (i.e., not carry it into the cabin), here’s what Volaris Airlines baggage allowance are for different fares:

• Plus fare include one checked luggage no cost. 

• The checked luggage cannot cross the weight limit of 55 lbs. 

• The size should not exceed 62 inches when the length + width + height are summed up. 

• You can check more than one piece of luggage if you pay for extra bags. Volaris permits checking in a maximum of 5 bags per fee.

• If your bag's weight is over and above or if its size is beyond the prescribed limit, then you will have to pay extra.

• The Volaris baggage fees for checked luggage vary according to the time and way you book, i.e., during the booking, before the flight, or at the airport.

• The fees for hand baggage are determined by the type of flight (domestic or international) and the time of purchase.

• For the case of a checked bag, there is a cost that is also determined by whether you have paid online or at the airport.

• An additional fee is charged if your baggage is either overweight (beyond the weight limit) or oversized (bigger than the size limit).

• Suggestion: Add the extra baggage at the time of booking your flight; it will save you money compared to doing it at the airport. 

4. Special Notes & Tips  

• Having a Volaris INVEX credit card may give you an additional baggage allowance with benefits such as extra weight or an extra checked bag. 

• It is essential to check your reservation - see what baggage is part of your fare before the travel day. If at the airport the size or weight of your bag is above the permitted limit, the airline may insist that you check it in (thereby adding a charge). 

Conclusion 

Volaris permits every single customer to carry along one small personal item. Carry-on luggage (22 × 16 × 10 in) is also included in your Basic or Plus fare. One checked bag of max weight 55 lbs and dimensions 62 inches can also be checked with the Plus fare. Extra luggage can be bought, but most of the time, it is more economical to get bags at the time of reservation. Be careful in your packing not to accidentally get extra fees.
