Until further notice, the Mexican airline, Viva Aerobus is no longer flying in and out of Cancun! How do I know? They cancelled one of my flights!
What a disappointment! Yes, it is no frills and no reserved seats but it is still very pleasant and much less expensive than other airlines.
However do take note that changing or cancelling your flight is a pain! You can only make adjustments by calling their head office in Monterrey. Emails do not go through and they don’t seem to ever pick up the phone while you wait for a service rep and the call is not toll free!
The adventure of air travel in Mexico ….

Viva Aerobus - The inexpensive way to travel by air in Mexico
Viva Aerobus - It’s a bus with wings! It is air travel for the cost of a bus ride!
Am I a fan? I think so. The price is certainly right. We booked for our family of 4 adults to travel Cancun – Monterrey – Morelia and back for $5,000 pesos or the equivalent of about $500 USD total. Good deal eh? Monterrey is the hub city for Viva Aerobus so most flights go through there. We arrived home yesterday so I can fill you in on all the details.
Now understand you get no frills for a no frills price.
- No food, no drink (most airlines are that way now anyway) but it was inexpensive to buy snacks and even sandwiches on board.
- No company produced magazines on board.
- The seats do not recline.
- No fancy tickets – you get only a paper receipt (like a grocery receipt) for boarding.
- No reserved seats!
- No piped in music or videos. However the flights are short.
- You are encouraged to book your flights on the Internet.
- Their uniforms are khaki pants and t-shirts (that must cost the company less). I don't care - they could all wear pink tutus!
Frankly if they save money with the above and they pass those saving on to me – I am all for it!
Our flights to Morelia were both running about a half hour late but coming home they were both early. Name an airline that has not been running late.
I hear that as of May 1st they are also flying in and out of Austin, Texas. I think I am developing an absolute need to see Austin! Thanks Viva Aerobus!
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne
