Volaris is Mexico's largest ultra-low-cost carrier and serves dozens of US cities, particularly those with large Mexican-American communities. Its fares are genuinely low but everything is unbundled, and its baggage enforcement at the gate is strict — this is a carrier where the advertised price and the price you actually pay diverge sharply if you have not pre-purchased.

No. Zero includes only a personal item, strictly size-checked at the gate. A carry-on must be purchased and is far cheaper at booking than at the airport. This is the single most common source of unexpected cost on Volaris.
