Volaris Airlines Seat Selection

Choose your seat on Volaris Airlines during booking, via “My Trips,” or during check‑in for a fee. Otherwise, you’ll get a random seat. Call 1‑888‑843‑5587 for help.

Volaris Seat Selection: How It Works

You can choose a specific seat during booking, via the Volaris website or mobile app, or later in the My Trips section. Otherwise, Volaris assigns a seat for free at check-in.
Seat selection is always paid there are no free premium or specific seat options, except in some cases like for VClub members.
During online check-in (72h before domestic; 24h before international), passengers can still select from remaining seats for a fee.

When to Buy & Why It Matters

Booking: Cheapest time to pay. More seat choices available.
My Trips / Pre-Flight: Still possible but often costlier than during initial booking.
Airport Counter: Highest fees, limited availabilities.

Not selecting a seat means Volaris will assign one at check-in, potentially separating groups or giving fewer desirable locations.

Who’s Eligible for Free Seat Selection?

VClub Members: Can often select seats complimentary as a benefit of membership.
Infants under 2 or passengers with special needs: May also be allocated seating free or with accommodations through support channels.

Combos such as More Speed or Business Combo may include standard seat selection at no extra charge, though first-row & exit row seats may still cost extra.

If you’re traveling solo or are flexible about where you sit, you can skip paying for seat selection and simply receive a randomly assigned seat at check-in. However, keep in mind that once the seat is assigned, you won’t be able to change it. For those traveling with family or in a group, Volaris may assign seats separately unless you pre-purchase seats together in advance. If you prefer a specific seat, such as an exit row, window, or front-row location, it’s best to pay for your preferred seat during the initial booking to secure your choice and save on fees. Lastly, if you select bundled fares like “Más Commodian” or other packages, seat selection may already be included along with benefits like baggage allowance and priority boarding — making it a more convenient and cost-effective option.

Traveler Tips & Hacks

A popular Reddit travel hack: at check-in, repeatedly decline carrying dangerous goods and reload assigned seat to get random seats (sometimes better like exit‑row) without paying.
While this trick reportedly works, it’s unofficial and could stop working if the airline changes the process.
If traveling with companions, booking seats together upfront is safest to ensure proximity.

Final Tips

Plan ahead seat selection at booking gives the best value and choice.
If you’re a VClub member, check if free seat selection applies.
Explore combo packages (e.g. More Speed) to include seat selection plus other perks.
Check in early online to maybe use creative hacks but don’t rely on random seats if traveling with others.
Always confirm fees for your specific route, as they may vary by season and destination.

Volaris offers a full range of seat options from back cabin standard seats to premium exit-row and front-row choices. All specific seat selection comes with a fee, best purchased during booking. Online check-in still lets you pay for seating but with limited options. Free selection may be available for VClub members or through certain combo packages. Random seat assignment at check-in is free, but companions might be separated. Booking early remains your best guarantee for preferred seating.
