On Volaris Airlines. Who the "F" is Volaris Air? Safe to fly? A subsidiary of Aeroflot or Air Congo?

i know alaska and hopefully southwest are going to enter into this market in October
freaking Avianca has the same flights I paid 336 for in May at 1000 in July!

it's a Mexican airlines. They have been flying out of Chicago for awhile to big cities in Mexico. I know they have good pricing to Mexico but I have never flown them. I would go for it.......I just checked it for Chicago to SJO. Shitty connections but round trip $272.00!!!!

I went on the website to price a trip in Novemebr and also came up with R/T in the $400+. It may have been an error in the "alert" I received but the alert definitely had "R/T" next to the $278 price:


Los Angeles - San Jose
$278 RT
Airline: Volaris

On the homepage of their website, under promo code, you have to select the "50% Off Travel to/from Costa Rica Guatemala or Puerto Rico" option before you search for flights. I priced R/T from LAX to SJO for Nov. 11 - 19 at $277.57.

The layover in GDL (Guadalajara) is about 14 hours for departure and 11 hours for arrival. Still worth it. $278 is a great price!

LAD, if you end up in Guadalajara, I would greatly appreciate some GOOD tequila. I mean since you will be in the neighborhood. Last time my buddy was there, he brought me a bottle that you cannot buy outside of Mexico. It cost $12 and was the best I have ever tasted.

I will keep the beer cooler on lock down until you get here.

<------OG'n with some tequila could be a mistake..... 8)

im getting emails from other airlines advertising other central and south american destinations other than SJO that look to be ridiculously low....
also getting quotes from United to Manila w 1 stop for 705$

perhaps travelers are benefitting from increased competition between the airlines AND other destinations.
some prices are almost pre 9/11 levels...

take advantage while it lasts... great time to be a traveler in this business cycle
