Volaris airlines can be really strict with matching ticket names to your passport/ID, and Volaris is one of them. Nevertheless, Volaris airlines name change or corrections given that some criteria are met and usually upon payment of a fee. 

Any mismatch, be it a first or last name, that is not going to create a third eligibility problem because the boarding pass does not reflect the change on the IDs is a possible ground for denied boarding. Therefore, it becomes very important to know what is changeable and what exactly is needed to make those changes.

What Are Acceptable And Unacceptable Names To Change

Allowed/Acceptable Changes

Changes of Minor Nature or Typographical Mistakes  If there is a misspelling of your name on the ticket (e.g., omitted letter, typo of first or last name), Volaris will allow a correction of such a name. 

Legal Name Changes: If there are changes to your name as a result of marriage or divorce, etc., then you may request name changes upon submission of valid documentary evidence (e.g. marriage certificate, court order, or an official ID) justifying the name change. 

 Not Allowed/Heavily Restricted

A ticket may not be changed to an entirely different person. Full name substitutions or transfers are not allowed by standard policy on name changes. 

When the voucher used to purchase the ticket will not allow name changes, nor may any sort of credit-based purchases be allowed. 

No later than a name change may be requested after check-in exceptions to this case are only applied to cases wherein the name change was requested before flight nexus. 

In a nutshell- little mistakes- okay. Legal name changes- maybe, if you have proof. The ticket is taken over by someone else-no.

Timing: When Should You Request Name Changes

Timing matters with Volaris:

With domestic flights, the last name changes are permitted 4 hours before departure. 

The last change for an international flight is 72 hours before departure. 

After check-in has been completed (either online or at the airport), name changes are no longer accepted. 

So- the sooner you catch the mistake, the better. The later in time it is, the stricter the rules become.

Fees and Costs: What It Costs to Change a Name on a Volaris Ticket

Yes, there is normally a fee for changing your name (unless you acted quickly). The sum varies, depending on a few factors, including the time when you request the change and whether you seek it online or at the airport, and it may vary depending on your fare type.
