Known issues at CUN with Volaris
Carry-on bag costs extra on Clean Fare
Problem: Volaris Clean Fare excludes carry-on. Adding 10 kg carry-on costs $25–45 USD online or $60+ at airport.
Solution: Pre-pay during booking. Personal item under seat (45×30×20 cm) is always free. V.Club membership ($30/year) cuts carry-on fee in half.
TIJ-CUN flights via Cross Border Xpress
Problem: Some Volaris CUN flights connect via TIJ for Cross Border Xpress to San Diego. Tight connection requires specific terminal navigation.
Solution: If using CBX, allow 2+ hours at TIJ. CBX direct ticket costs ~$30 + Volaris fare = often cheaper than US carrier direct CUN-SAN.
