If you’re flying with Volaris from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), knowing what to expect at the terminal can make your travel experience much smoother. LAX is one of the busiest airports in the United States, and Volaris operates out of Terminal 1 — a modern, traveler-friendly space equipped with everything you need before your flight. From check-in procedures to dining options and transportation access, this guide covers all the essentials to help you navigate Volaris Terminal LAX efficiently and stress-free.

Where to Check In

Passengers flying with Volaris can check in online or at the airport.

• Online check-in is available 24 hours before your flight and is highly recommended to save time.

• If you prefer to check in at the airport, Volaris has designated counters at Terminal 1 where you can drop your bags and get your boarding pass.

• Self-service kiosks are also available near the counters if you only need to print your boarding pass.

For international flights, it’s best to arrive at least 3 hours early, and for domestic flights, give yourself a 2-hour buffer to get through check-in and security comfortably.

Security and Boarding

Terminal 1 is equipped with standard TSA security checkpoints, and if you're eligible for TSA PreCheck, you can enjoy faster screening. After clearing security, make sure to check the departure screens for your gate number. Gates are clearly marked, and the terminal layout is simple to follow, making it easy to reach your boarding area in plenty of time.
