The earlier version of this article quoted fixed prices in Mexican pesos and dollars for national and international routes and a limit of 55 lb and 250 cm. Volaris now publishes its limits on the baggage page and keeps prices in separate fee tables that change by season and route. This update gives the limits and rules, and tells you where the price appears.
How to add sports equipment
- The service is bought once your reservation exists, at an extra charge. Use My Trips, phone the call center, or buy it at the airport.
- Volaris suggests buying ahead of the flight, since that saves money.
Weight and size
- Maximum weight: 55 lb.
- The three dimensions added together may not pass 98 inches.
- Going over either limit means extra fees.
- Nothing is accepted above 110 inches in total or above 99 lb.
- Use a case that covers the item completely. Damage to poorly packed gear is not Volaris' responsibility.
Packing advice by item
- Bicycle: strip it down, leaving the wheel rim, and place it in a case or plastic wrap. Pack the helmet and pads on their own.
- Diving gear: you may bring a buoyancy vest, a regulator, a mask, a snorkel, fins, a wetsuit, a tank harness, a gauge and empty cylinders. Do not bring tanks that contain compressed air or other gas, disconnect any dive strobes and tape the terminals.
- Skis: for snow, one pair of skis, poles, boots and a mask. For water skiing, a pair of skis and a life vest.
- Golf: one bag with 14 clubs, 12 balls, shoes and tees, in a case that wholly covers the clubs and respects the size limit.
- Boards: surf, wind, snow and long boards. Wrap them in plastic or foam, cover the nose and tail, and remove or secure the fins.
- Bowling: one bag with two balls at most, plus shoes. Put padding between the items.
