The name "Volaris" comes from the union between the verb “volar†("to fly") and the star Polaris, which served as a guide for sailors during their trips. Since its inception and up to 2017, Volaris flights have transported around 86 million passengers in Mexico, Central America and the United States. In this time it has become the leading low-cost airline in Mexico and one of the most popular in Latin America. Travelers looking for Volaris airline tickets will always find them at the best price.

Solo-flying children with Volaris
Thanks to the "Volaris is with you" program, any minor who must travel will be supervised by a member of the airline's staff. This service, which can be purchased both when purchasing Volaris tickets online and at the airport counter, guarantees that minors will always be accompanied. If minors are between 5 and 11 years of age, it is mandatory to purchase the "Volaris is with you" service. For those between 12 and 17 years of age, it is not, although they must be accompanied by an adult of legal age at the airport counter.
Traveling with your pet with Volaris
If your pet is a dog or cat, it can travel on Volaris flights, but no other type of animal is allowed. In order for your pet to fly with you in the cabin, it must be in a cage measuring a maximum of 17.5 x 12 x 7.5 inches (44 x 30 x 19 cm) and weighing no more than 22 lb (10 kg) with the animal inside. Keep in mind that, while dog cages can be made of fabric or plastic, if you travel with your cat the cage must always be rigid, i.e. plastic. On the other hand, if your pet exceeds this weight and size, it will fly as a checked pet in the hold of the Volaris aircraft. The maximum weight allowed is 100 lb (45 kg) including the cage, which must always be rigid and measure 62 linear in (158 cm) at the most. Do not forget to bring your pet's vaccination card with you on the day of the flight and the animal health certificate to prove that your dog or cat is fit to fly.
