I missed my flight due to the incompetence and rudeness of the personnel at the front desk. Despite arriving at the airport with plenty of time before our scheduled departure, these individuals were extremely slow and distracted, attending to other customers while neglecting my needs. After some time, they argued there was an issue with one of the tickets and informed me that they couldn't check in my luggage because the plane closed an hour before departure. This issue began there, and I was forced to carry my luggage with me or abandon it. We decided to carry our luggage with us. However, I encountered trouble at the security inspection due to some liquids I was carrying since this luggage was supposed to be documented (we paid for these services in advance). Finally, when I reached the gate of the plane, two ladies named ****************** and ******************** refused to allow me and my family to board the plane, arguing that I should abandon my luggage. However, they allowed someone else who was behind us to take the flight, which was completely unfair. They demanded that I abandon my luggage or they would not allow me to board the flight. I am requesting a full refund of the high fees I paid for the second flight, as well as compensation for the inconvenience of sleeping at the airport and taking an inconvenient flight. Due to the airline staff's fault, I am requesting a full refund of the service that I did not receive. Volaris is a fraudulent airline that should not be operating in *****************. Several pages are full with horrible customer service experiences like mine.Business Response

Dear *******************,
We are writing in reply to DOT case number 21395512.
Following your case, we inform you that the passengers must show up at the airport counters with at least 180 minutes before the flight departure. This information appears in your confirmation itinerary, it is specified at the bottom indicating the times for the arrival at the airport, and in this case, being an international flight, an arrival time of three hours before the flight and 60 minutes before at boarding gate.
At the same time, we confirm the fee charge for next available flight MEX-GDL-OAK last March 02, 2024, was applied correctly, and we confirm flight was boarded.
Refund for extra charges or expenses does not apply.

I am rejecting this response because: that information is not correct. it was negligence of Volaris stuff. Here is proof that they were having issues probably with the number of people boarding the plane and they attempted to change the flight two days prior to the departure date and we did not accept because we had to return before Sunday in order for us to continue to our familys schedule.

Complaint: 21395512
I am rejecting this response because: The airline is providing false information, and they failed to initiate an investigation when I initially contacted them. I clearly explained that flight attendants ****************** and ******************** denied me boarding the plane, despite allowing a passenger behind me to board. They cited that the single passenger was allowed because he was traveling alone, implying that my family of three was denied due to a lack of seats. One of these ladies was not only rude but also made fun of our situation, displaying unprofessional behavior and making sarcastic comments to other staff members about us. I remained there until the plane finally departed, approximately 40 minutes after being denied access. Volaris has repeatedly shown negligence and engaged in fraudulent practices, as evidenced by numerous complaints filed with various ***************** such as Profeco.

Below are 2 distressing incidents that occurred during my recent travels with Volaris Airlines. These incidents not only caused significant inconvenience to ******* family but also raised serious concerns about the ************************** service standards of your airline.Incident #1: On 2/26/24, my ********** arrived at gate B12 in *********** at 4:35 AM for our scheduled flight at 4:49 AM. We were met with extreme ******************** from one of your attendants, who abruptly informed us the gate was closed. The attendant's demeanor was unprofessional, & she went as far as threatening us, stating that if we did not immediately pay $110 per person for the next flight, we would not be allowed to board any flights. This threat was deeply concerning & left us feeling intimidated & vulnerable, particularly as we were in a foreign country.I registered my complaint with a supervisor, I have doubts that it was documented, as promised. This same supervisor offered us refund & told us we would have to re-book with volaris online. He stated it was much more expensive if we chose that option. We felt COERECED into paying the extra fee with volaris. We did not have time to investigate other airline fares.For 3 people final payment to volaris was ****** MXN pesos ($909.66 USD) for flight RHGCYN and for 1 person it was $776.06 for flight PJYSPH.Incident #2: We arrived to board plane 2/27/24 in *********** which was scheduled for gate C37. Minutes before boarding time (4:04 AM) volaris made all passengers walk from one end of the airport to the other end to board on gate A2. Passengers had to wait outside in FRIGID temperatures to board the plane. Take off was not until 20 to 30 minutes after scheduled departure of 4:49 AM. Not only did all passengers have to walk across the ENTIRE airport, but we all had to wait outside to board the plane & the plane took off after the scheduled take off time.It is disappointing that despite these ***************************** passengers have not received any form of compensation or acknowledgment from Volaris. This lack of accountability only exacerbates the ***************************** experienced by customers.As a result of these incidents, my ********** incurred additional expenses, including accommodation ($77.77), meals ($67.34 & $600.00 MXN ******* **************** (car rental $45). We are therefore seeking monetary compensation for the stress, mistreatment, inconvenience, & financial burden caused by Volaris' mishandling of these situations.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:1. We arrived on time to board.
2. Volars representative threatened myself and family members we would not leave the country if we did not immeasurably go downstairs to pay the extra fee therefore we were coerced into paying an extra fee.
3. Plane on 2/27/2024 left late and no customers were reimbursed for volaris error.

I am rejecting this response because: Hello,The complaint was not resolved. The volaris records are false. The plane took off more than 15 minutes after scheduled take off time and volaris threatening stance did not allow us as passengers to seek another airline the previous day. We were told if we did not book with them immediately we would not get on a flight back home then when we complained to the manager and he said he could refund us our money but we would have to pay double when we decided to rebook.

Purchased roundtrip tickets Mex City>OAK and back, 2/14/24 to 2/21/24 (reservation B96UVF). We couldn't board back because it was "too hot, need to limit weight". Staff was rude in explaining their boarding issue when questioned, told us next available flight that Friday, 2 days later! Obviously we were angered, and sooon enough, he threatened to have us ejected from the airport, not before t Mockingly telling us to "have a good day"as we walked away. His name was *****. We asked for supervisor, none arrived, so we spoke to the ****** of ******* Prosecutor for the Consumer and they too offered no solution other than take a refund (paid in 2-3 weeks) or wait for their Friday flight, with paid hotel and meals while we wait, something none of the Volaris staff even mentioned. We didnt find available flights through other airlines that day, and any for next day were beyond our current budget, so we took their offer. Furthermore, the new flight booked for Friday had different seats, although I had already paid for seats. This extended wait resulted in financial losses, aside from missing a funeral and my son's band rehearsals. We are demanding reimbursement for our losses which include the following:1)seat purchases for return flight: $43.96 USD 2) husband's wage loss for 2/22/24 and 2/23/24: $372.74USD 3)$620MXN pesos worth of food bought in ****** that went bad during the 2-day delay (cheese, baked goods)4) $460 MXN pesos ********************* out of pocket: feminine hygiene products, water bottles, medication (cough syrup/tylennol for child). 5)Emotional distress caused (missing a relatives funeral), reasonable compensation for the inconveniences caused and disrespectful treatment should be offered, and NOT in the form of flight vouchers, as we will NEVER fly with Volaris ever again.If receipts are requested in order to reimburse us, we have none as most stores we purchased our items from do not provide receipts. Volaris can very well verify costs themselves.Business Response

I flew from ******* to *********** and when we arrived to *********** my luggage was broken. I had just purchased the luggage, in fact, it still had some plastic wrap over some parts and it had a built in scale, so it was not the typical luggage. I filed the claim in the airport attached (Volaris-Damaged Bags) and was told at the airport that everything was submitted and to call to find out the status of the claim. I was able to email a representative and provided the document that they gave me at the airport and other forms/information that he requested. I was then told that I would be receiving a credit that I could use for future flights, but I told him that I have had numerous bad experiences with the airline and that I would probably not fly with them again and that I wanted a refund back to my credit card. I told him that I would need to purchase another luggage and preferred to get a refund. He answered back with, I am sorry that you do not agree with our credit, but you need to provide the document that they gave you at the airport. I explained to him that what I had emailed him was the document they had given me at the airport and asked for a refund again. He answered back with I am sorry you don't agree with our credit, we will close the case now. I want a refund, they broke my luggage, I have provided them the claim form. I would appreciate a refund for my personal property that they destroyed. Thank youBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: I have already provided all this information to the prior customer service representative and attached the notice they gave me at the airport with this complaint. If this is not the notice that I was supposted to have received, how am I supposed to fly back to ****** to get the correct paper they should have given me. If they accept the form i submitted with this complaint, I can provide the other documents they need (although they should already have pictures of the damaged luggage, my ID) they got all this at the airport!!!! How can I have a claim number and be assured at the airport that nothing else was needed, makes no sense; horrible customer service!!!!!!

On Jan 2nd, 2024 (Volaris Reservation LYGK4P) my family and I were traveling to *********** ******. Upon arrival we were informed by the check-in agent that our flight was cancelled and would have to wait for the next flight. The agent said we would receive a $200 reimbursement for each ticket (total of 3) via email. He said we would automatically receive the emails with our vouchers. We have been waiting for the email, but never received any email from Volaris. Today I called Volaris customer service and was informed that my voucher had expired. I was told to submit a ticket here through volaris my experience to have the voucher reissued since I never received it. I never received any email or notification from Volaris on what to do for the refund. I submitted a ticket as instructed by Volaris customer service. The person handling the ticket responded that they could not credit anything since I did not use the voucher withing 30 days as per their policy and closed the ticket. This is not satisfactory resolution as they never sent anything at all. No email with refund or instructions on how to claim. Nothing. The check-in agent at the airport simply said to "wait for the email." We waited and received nothing. It is not my fault that i did not use a credit voucher since i never received any.Business Response

I booked a flight February 2023 to fly august 2023. When I get to the airport 3.5 hours before my international flight I am trying to check in to the flight because all my previous attempts werent working due to there not being signal where I was staying. Thats why I got to the airport a little earlier and the app was not loading I asked a few employees for help and I asked if I could just pay the fee to have someone check me in and print my boarding passes and they were extremely rude and told me to move to the side and keep trying on my own. What ended up happening was 2 hours before the flight the employee said the plane was already full. I wanted my refund as I had to figure out another way home in order to not lose my job and I talked to a lot of employees that were not helpful at all. They ended up switching my flight to a different date (2 weeks from then) without my approval and told me to continue calling the phone number to their airline for a guaranteed refund. Every person I spoke to on the phone denied it and I went online and submitted the request for refund. After a lot of back and forth they said theyd give it me if I sent identifications and signed a form. I sent everything they asked for and they to this date have not refunded me my money. I reached out and they said they had deposited into the account in Decemeber and that was not true. They asked me to send bank statements . I sent them showing there was no refund made. They keep telling me there waiting for the proper department to send the receipt to the refund they made. After I showed proof that there was no transfer of payment. They keep going in circles and its been months and yet no refund.Business Response

On February 13th, my Husband and I were involuntarily denied boarding to our flight with Volaris Airlines from ******* to ******. We were told at the gate when we were attempting to board the flight that we would not be able to get on the plane. In the process we were also verbally abused by one of the Airline representatives at the gate, who made homophobic remarks about both of us and said, "I don't care what you say, I am not letting you faggots on this plane." We were then told to leave or she would call security. Later I reached out to ***************** over the phone they told me that this is not ground to receive a refund. We lost the money for our hotel, our prepaid transportation once we made it to ****** and the money we spent on our appointment to meet with the Venezuelan embassy (the reason for the trip). I only asked for Volaris to give us a refund in the amount of $1121.32 which is what we paid for the flights.Business Response

My uncle, ************************************, was given an electronic voucher due to a flight delay. His flight was on Jan 26, ****. We were given this electronic voucher via my email on the same day for the amount of ****** MXN ($24.59 USD). We booked his return flight for Feb 22, **** (reservation code CFF43N) and used the voucher to cover part of the base fare which was $109.92 USD and paid the remaining balance with his **** debit card. We attempted to purchase a checked bag after the reservation was booked but kept getting errors on the app and website so we called customer service. After multiple attempts to get through to someone, we were told we cannot add on a checked bag since we used the electronic voucher as a form of payment. They said the only resolution was to purchase one at the time of check in, which would cost us more. The volaris agent refused to transfer the call to a manager, arguing that the manager would give us the same information. This is very upsetting because we used the voucher only to pay part of the base fare and no where in the electronic voucher fine print does it say we cannot purchase a checked bag after using it. This makes no sense and we would like for volaris to allow us to purchase a checked bag, which we would be using our **** debit card to purchase. Their electronic voucher terms are extremely unfare and are not communicated properly to consumers. Never accept electronic vouchers from this airline, it creates so much inconvenience!Business Response
