One personal item for all fares, 45×35×20 cm, under the seat. No independent weight is stated in the current policy. With a main bag, combined weight must not exceed 20 kg; the 10 kg maximum for the main bag still applies.

Eligible fare or add-on required

55×40×25 cm

21.7×15.7×9.8 in

Weight limit: 10 kg (22 lb)

One 55×40×25 cm carry-on up to 10 kg when included in Plus or purchased with Zero/Basic. Personal item plus carry-on must total no more than 20 kg. Zero and Basic do not include a main cabin bag; Basic includes a separate 15 kg checked bag. The checker evaluates one bag, not the 20 kg combined total.

The source does not say whether wheels and handles are included, so measure the full external size to be safe.

Fares & cabin classes

Basic Economy

No overhead cabin bag

Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Leave margin instead of relying on discretionary gate behavior.

Volaris liquids policy

Volaris states a 100 ml container limit for ordinary cabin liquids. Check current departure and transfer security instructions and request clarification for necessary medicines and infant feeding; do not assume that the US TSA rule applies identically on every route.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Current baby page allows infants from 7 days to under 2 in an adult’s lap at no extra fare cost; do not infer a separate cabin-bag allowance. Purchasing an adult ticket allows an FAA-approved car seat. The paid Baby Combo adds a diaper bag up to 10 kg and 25×40×40 cm plus one checked baby item.

Stroller

A stroller is included at no additional cost; the baby page describes surrender at the aircraft door, hold transport and return on disembarkation. Confirm airport handling before departure.

Car seat

Cabin use requires a purchased adult ticket and FAA-approved car seat. A checked car seat, travel crib or baby carrier is one item in the paid Baby Combo; not an unconditional free car seat allowance.

Current English and Spanish policies use Zero/Basic/Plus; old Light/Classic/Basic+ and Pasa Solo names are not the current entitlement model. Plus has one main bag, not two; 20 kg is combined, not the main-bag maximum. Personal-item weight is unknown separately. Fees vary by route, season and purchase channel/time; published fee tables contain ceilings, not guaranteed booking prices. Measure the packed exterior and check ticket-specific benefits. No measured enforcement ranking or guaranteed overhead space is asserted.
