Volaris, the Mexican low-cost airline, is celebrating its anniversary by offering a sale on international flights from the U.S. to Mexico starting at $49 in economy class. These deals are available for travel between March and November 2025.

Here’s what you need to know about this deal and how to book it.

Fare Deal — The Details

Volaris is offering an anniversary sale for travel between March and November 2025 from the U.S. to Mexico’s top locations, including Cancún, Mexico City, Guadalajara, and more. Fares start at $49 one-way for this limited-time sale.

Volaris offers extremely low prices with its Vuela Basic fares, which are akin to basic economy tickets. As a low-cost carrier, you’ll need to pay extra for things like seat selection, but these tickets do include 1 carry-on bag. Regardless, you’ll want to consider any ancillary costs when determining the total cost of your fare.

Class: Economy
Routes: Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Denver (DEN), Houston (IAH), Miami (MIA), Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK), Phoenix (PHX), and Oakland (OAK) to Mexico City (MEX), Guadalajara (GDL), and Cancun (CUN)
Dates: March 2025 to November 2024
Rates: As low as $49 one-way

To begin with, you can catch a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Mexico City for as little as $49 one-way.

There are tons of other route pairs available for as low as $49. For instance, you can also fly from Phoenix (PHX) to the culturally rich city of Guadalajara for just $49 one-way, including a carry-on bag.

How To Book

First, you’ll want to play around with your dates on Google Flights and then book directly through Volaris or an online travel agency (OTA) such as Expedia. You may find cheaper rates on a lesser-known OTA, but if you want peace of mind or should you need to change or cancel, you might want to avoid this option.

After selecting your travel dates, it’s important to consider which credit card to use. Booking your ticket with a credit card that offers rewards for flights or general travel purchases is essential. Among our preferred cards at Upgraded Points are:

The Platinum Card^® from American Express (5x points for flights booked directly with airlines or with AmexTravel.com up to $500,000 on these purchases per calendar year, then 1x)
Chase Sapphire Reserve^® (5x points on flights booked through Chase Travel; 3x points on all other travel purchases)
Chase Sapphire Preferred^® Card (5x points on travel purchased through Chase Travel; 2x points on all other travel worldwide)
