They have a basic package, a premium package, and of course, it costs money to buy these extra perks.\u00a0 They also have a membership club, similar to Spirit&#8217;s $9 Fare club, called <a href=\"http:\/\/volaris.com\/en\/products-and-services\/vclub\/what-vclub\/\" target=\"_blank\">VClub,<\/a> which lets you get &#8220;the best available fare&#8221;. I priced out a flight from PDX-GDL for October 11th, and it came to $561 dollars.\u00a0 I wouldn&#8217;t say this is cheap at all for a low cost carrier, as the average price for this flight, using United, American, Delta, or even Alaska, came at near or around this price range. However, they were not non-stop flights.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/files\/2014\/10\/volaris_package2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1174\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/files\/2014\/10\/volaris_package2.png\" alt=\"volaris_package\" width=\"480\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2014\/10\/volaris_package2-260x314.png 260w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2014\/10\/volaris_package2-160x193.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never flown this airline, so I can&#8217;t personally comment on the product.

On a side note, check out the logo on the tail wing.\u00a0 When I first saw a picture of it, I thought they were censoring it for some reason. It looks blurred, but it&#8217;s actually the logo of the airline. I&#8217;ll have to come up with a cool logo for them. <em>Happy Travels.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/files\/2014\/10\/Volaris_A319.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1175\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/files\/2014\/10\/Volaris_A319-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Volaris_A319\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2014\/10\/Volaris_A319-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2014\/10\/Volaris_A319-560x373.jpg 560w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2014\/10\/Volaris_A319-260x173.jpg 260w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2014\/10\/Volaris_A319-160x106.jpg 160w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/thevaluetraveler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/\/sites\/64\/2014\/10\/Volaris_A319.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volaris, the low cost Mexican carrier is starting a new service &#8211;
