My flight was scheduled to depart ******* on December 24,2022 at 6am. Volaris cancelled the flight without letting us know and I missed one whole day of vacation. The whole experience was a nightmare. I had to wait 3 hours in line to get a new flight ticket which was useless because the cbx staff as well as the volaris staff were no help. Their answer to everything was always "We dont know". After this terrible experience, I had to reach out to Volaris to ask for a refund or credit, please keep in mind they never reached out and I'm sure they never would have unless I called. I received my electronic credit a few days ago. I tried using my electronic credit to purchase luggage for my new flight and was unable to. I was immediately directed to pay with my credit card. The terms clearly state that the credit can be used for additional services. This is ridiculous. Not sure why an airline would state in their terms that this credit is redeemable for additional services when clearly I was not able to use this credit. There was no point in booking a new flight if I was going to have to pay out of pocket once again. Also, they took a little over 3 weeks from the day I called to send the electronic credit. This is their tactic so you wont be able to purchase their airline tickets when they are cheaper. They wait to send the credit after airline ticket prices have gone up. Very disappointed.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: it is stated on My Trips that baggage is considered an additional service. A representative from the business had informed me that my electronic refund would be available in 7 days, this was not accurate as it took 21 days to receive my electronic refund. I was hoping to purchase airline tickets at a cheap price during the 7 day period but of course I was not able to. They took longer than advised. I never received a complete refund for a hotel or food stay either.

Reached the airport and found our bags were medium and needed to be checked. This was no problem accept we had already paid for carry on bags. The lady at the counter acted like she was unable to assist us. She said her system wouldn't allow her to change the bags. We asked if we could do it online she said no. We wasted almost an hour at the ticket counter trying to switch our bags to checked. She was rude and dismissive. After we stood around waiting to be helped she said there was nothing she could do. Shortly after 6pm they stopped taking bags. We ended up having to take another airline. This dismissive unwillingness to be helpful happened because I'm black. She looked displeased from the moment she looked up and saw me.Business Response

Complaint: 18946904
I am rejecting this response because: the flight wasnt canceled because of weather as other flights left at same time to same city where I was flying to. Also the voucher they offer do not include the TUA(airport use fees) which I think it should be included as I paid for those feed already for my canceled flight. I want to have the full payment coverage as I already paid them all. I also would prefer to never flight with that airline as they made me lose hundreds of dollars for their cancellations. Had to buy tickets from a different airline to get to my destination and my family had to spend Christmas at the airport. Family members flew to same city at same time the same day on a different airline so I know the ser the wasnt the issue.

I am rejecting this response because:
I have been back and forth with phone calls with Volaris stating that I had booked the flight through booking and the credit card that they had on file was not my credit card. There should be many calls and emails regarding that. Volaris then requested all my personal information including my bank account number, my passport picture and records of my account showing I did not receive the refund. All that Information was already given. Once again they assured they would refund the money to my account and not the card on file that is not mine.. Its been months of back and forth and once again they stating they refunded to a account that does not exist or simply not mine. I have done all I can to explain this simple matter. Please check your records and see where you refunded the money. I did all I could with multiple calls and emails to assure the money was delivered to the right place but seams like Volaris has poor customer service and never delivered to he money where they said they would deliver to my credit card that used last numbers are ****. If after all the back and forth they did not follow through and delivered the money to someone else that is not my fault.Sincerely,

Call August 10 of 2022. I flew from ******* ********** to *********** with Volaris Airlines period upon trying to land our airplane unfortunately experience two tires that flew out in passing our landing and we were told to go up and the pilot did so and came back down again three or four times hitting the tarmac before we successfully landed on the runway. Since August of last year I have contacted management customer service multiple times and it didnt give me directions to supply them with medical Documentation And other expenditures and bills pertaining to this injury. I have done so as of December 2022. The last communication I had from them was that they were pending this process and would get back to me. We are now at the end of January and I have received no contact from them whatsoever. I have also reported this to the ********************************. Ive also reported it to the *** and I have received little to no directives as to how to finish processing this claim . I am aware that I can go get an attorney which I will also where that I can write a letter to the Volaris Airlines which I will do so but customer service has told me repeatedly that they are working on it and they will handle the process and examine the claim and will reimburse me. I received a letter two days ago from ****** Permanente, which is my medical insurance plan telling me that the medical bills which were incurred from August and September have now gotten to collections for lack of payment. I am at a loss as to what else to do. Thankfully, I was not gravely injured in this flight and no deaths occurred, but there was a serious injury and it affected me greatly. Medical attention, and they promised that they would take care of it I have since learned also that they are not going through their insurance provider but thats what I was told by Management . I would like to resolve this issue I would like to pay my medical bills and receive compensation for my injuries. Thank you.Business Response

On January 17 at 4pm I started a WhatsApp conversation with Volaris Airlines to add baggage to my flight departing morning of the 18th. I needed to book through an agent as I didn't know what baggage to purchase for my large tool box and our 2 child car seats. They told me to hold for service numerous times from 4pm until 11pm, then I had to go to sleep to wake up early to catch my flight. We woke up late, rushed for our flight, and checked in. I checked my WhatsApp messages and still no reply from the previous night/day conversation regarding how to check and pay for the luggage. See WhatsApp message thread for full conversation. At the check in, Volaris website wasn't functioning properly and wouldn't allow me to add baggage to my flight via the cheaper online method of $55 per checked bag. I tried to add it to every passenger via online and the "Add checked bag" option wasn't available. The man helping us at check in could not figure it out either so we had to add the bags at the airport at their ridiculous cost. I would like a refund of the extra costs we paid as a result of their terrible service in not helping me the day before when I tried dealing with it as well as their website not allowing me to add bags, when it normally would have. I paid 3 amounts for the 5 extra checked baggage at the airport, as per the attached receipts: ***** Mx Pesos ***** Mx Pesos ***** Mx Pesos ****** Total Mx Pesos, or approx $850 USD The baggage should have cost $55 USD each x 5 = $275 if the agent helped me the day before my flight. It still should have been $55 if I added the additional bags via there website at the check in counter, which there system wouldn't allow me to do so at the time. So $850 - $275 = $575 USD refund to my credit card please and thank you.Business Response

We would like to confirm that based on the system you acquired the first documented baggage in both bookings YEMUUT and HYI3GM last January 17th, 2023, one day before your schedule flight, however, according to our policies and ancillaries or additional services fees there is a different price when client needs to add an extra checked baggage, according to the published rates in our website the price at pre-flight it is up to $220.99 USD per extra checked baggage, the fee paid at airport was of $ ****** USD per extra checked baggage.
You can validate this information in the following link: ************************************************************************************
We confirm that the fee charge was correct according to the acquired rate in bookings, unfortunately the requested refund does not proceed, in service we could only support you by reintegrating the paid amount in electronic credit for future transportation with Volaris with the mentioned characteristics.

On November 17, 2022 I tried to book a flight from ****** to ****** for 7 people. The person I was booking with said they can only put 6 people on a ticket so he would have to put the 7th person just on a different ticket. I gave him all the information for the first 6 people and that ticket went through. I then gave him the information for the last person and he went to book them and when he went to book he said that the plane was full and that she would have to be on a different flight. I said I didn't want to do this and he then said that I would have to put in a cancellation within 24 hours if I wanted my refund. Approximately 2 hours later I cancelled the ticket. The gentleman when I cancelled said I would have to wait 7 - 21 days for my refund. I called after 21 days and he said that it is 21 working days, not just 21 days from the date of cancellation. I have all the documents that you will need to see the exact dates and times and all of my correspondence. The price of the tickets were $2019.12. My confirmation number is N584KB. My cancellation ticket number is *******.Business Response

Better Business Bureau:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.I would like to inform anyone that books with Volaris that if you intend to cancel your ticket be aware that you have to jump many hoops to get your refund.
