Volaris prices direct now missing from google flights?
Has anyone else noticed this? The prices to book direct with volaris now seem to be missing from Google Flights - you will get the message "Visit site for price" or "Call to book" when looking at flights. Could they be trying to do the same as Southwest? However the OTAs still show prices......

I see the same thing. This is strange -- I'm not sure why Volaris would pull their direct pricing from Google Flights but allow OTAs to still publish their pricing. I would think this indicates a technical issue more than an intentional act but Volaris certainly would prefer customers book directly at a lower cost than via an OTA or GDS. You could try asking Volaris via email or Twitter/Facebook but I wouldn't hold my breath for an informative response.

Yeah I guess it can't hurt but pretty sure it will fall on deaf ears.

Have you signed up to recieve Volaris' emails and followed them on social media? That's where I usually find the best deals anyway. They have some good app-exclusive deals, too. If you keep an eye on their sales you can make out like a bandit. Ditto for Viva Aerobus, although Volaris usually wins for my needs.
