Company went bankrupt and out of business, we didn’t get any notification about it. We had to buy another ticket with another airline. Do NOT buy AeroMar tickets!!

Company went bankrupt and out of business, we didn’t get any notification about it. We had to buy another ticket with another airline. Do NOT buy AeroMar tickets!!

Baggage fees were really high and they did not accept any credit card other than MasterCard or cash. They also did not give me a receipt which leads me to think they overcharged me.

Pros: "I have been writing you to change that flight and you don't respond. It is Kayak that is poor in the response department I booked another flight and need credit per the insurance I bought. now for 2 flights that you hae not responded to"
Cons: "Contact with Kayak to work out changes and get responses ...no contact from Kayak to emails"
Pros: "I had no one sitting next to me , which was great because of social distancing. Staff where friendly."
Cons: "Having somewhere to charge my phone"
Cons: "We had to buy an extra seat because there wasn't enough passengers that showed up so the flight was going to be cancelled. An extra 3000 pesos after a very stressful wait."
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and kind"
Cons: "It took forever to get on the plane, and there was nobody at the gate for us to ask when we were going to start boarding. The website didn't have any information either. Since this is a smaller plane, it's prone to turbulence so it was very bumpy as we approached Mexico City"
Pros: "We could have drinks and snacks without purchasing them. And the crew is nice"
Cons: "Boarding was delayed and nobody said anything regarding the delay. There was no one in the counter and that was frustrating"
Pros: "Crew was super nice and we could have drinks and snacks without a charge"
Cons: "Seats were clean, just some floor vacuum"
Cons: "Delayed flight by two hours and lost bag. Definitely avoid Aeromar"
Pros: "Free beer, popcorn"
Cons: "We were bumped to a later flight because Aeromar overbooked the flight. There was no compensation for the inconvenience. Also the flight we were put on was 45min late leaving. The crew seemed to be wasting a lot time loading luggage on to the aircraft"

Delayed 6 hours! finally able to board, then had to wait 45 minutes for the plane to fill up. Mid flight when food service started, they had nothing to offer with the exception of chips and cookies. Worst flight ever!

The priority seat are great especially the first row! Crew was very cordial and helpful, airplane efficient, the departure and arrival was on time.

I had a flight before this one and I was able to get to the plane, the doors were open and they didn’t let me in. It was still 15 min before departure and the plane was there with the doors open and the hall as well and I went all the way there and they didn’t let me in. Then they tried selling me another flight 4 times more expensive than what the original cost and with a 7 hour layover in a different state when my flight was direct and cheaper. Very disappointed, specially with their 0 flexibility when it comes to travelers with multiple connections.

They not allowed to bord flight, arguing that was cancelled the flight reservation. No chance to find and explain answers, very bad treated by Airline staff… At the end we buying a flight ticket with Aeromexico. Is a low Price Flight Company (cheap), as it is cheap treatment for customers… seme with Kiwi .com app. With we did our reservation. with KAYAK.com never get this kind of treatment.

Buen servicio y muy puntual El problema ENORME es pagar por la página de Viva Aerobús lo cual es imposible aún con fondos suficientes en la tarjeta. Eso te obliga a acudir al callcenter de la aerolínea, en donde para que te atiendan transcurren 45 minutos, y ya que se tiene la suerte de comenzar la llamada, te toma otros 60 minutos terminar el proceso de pago de los tickets o de la maleta extra que deseas comprar.

It is ridiculous that electronic checkin for under age kids can be done and need to be done over the counter. Having said so, we were requested to do the single line for this as if we never did any checkin or made services for this to happen fast. Just ridiculous. Flight delayed as it is the regular business for this airline.

an absolute joke. couldn’t even board because they sold our tickets out from underneath us. we had tickets in hand with assigned seats and they still denied boarding at the gate. i’m sure you guys won’t follow up or do anything so merry christmas.

Flight was on time Flight attendants should be kind and empathetic

Viva continues to strive for the worst airline experience ever.

Very disorganized way of get off the plane. The staff didn’t direct passengers get get up in an organized matter. Passenger were pushing each other trying to get out.

For the price, you pretty much can't beat this airlines. As far as comfort, you could do a lot better, but it'll cost you. Over all cheapest way to get from point A to point B.

When you make the 3 Lines to board de airplane , I believe that you should make only one line first and then call the next and then last ,,, because the number 3 wait to long just standing there ,, my opinion !!!

Our flight was delayed both ways going there and coming back an hour plus. I have taken Volaris many times and this problem seems to be more common each time.

Be prepared to pay extra for everything! I'm not sure I really saved any money?

Flight got canceled, made me lose my connection flight to Japan. Someone has to pay for it. It might be you guys

Viva Aerobus Is honesto the worst airline and I don't think I'll fly with them ever again.

I didn’t like anything, they were the worst airline I ever used, charged 40 dollars if you flight as USA citizen, if you want food you have to pay for it, seats are uncomfortable service is the worst

Pros: "On time fight"
Cons: "Service airline should serve a least water to the passengers with charging them for it"
Pros: "Above average amount of leg room. Plane was very clean."
Cons: "Seats could have a bit more padding. Sitting becomes uncomfortable quickly."
Cons: "Comfort of seats and when checking in being checked in with your party not scattered around."
