Montréal

Montreal – October 06, 2026 -- Volaris has launched a new optional service called Disruption Assistance, letting travelers facing a flight delay of more than two hours or a same-day cancellation choose between a free rebooking or a 100% refund of their trip cost while keeping the disrupted flight.

Travelers Get a Self-Serve Fix for Flight Chaos

Customers who purchase the add-on can rebook themselves on Volaris or another airline, with the cost covered by travel tech firm HTS (Hopper Technology Solutions), through a self-serve tool. If no rebooking option works for them, they can instead opt for a full refund of their trip price without giving up their original, disrupted flight.

Norwalk, Conn. – October 02, 2026 -- Travelers waiting on holiday flight deals have a narrow window, according to KAYAK's 2026 Holiday Travel Check-In, which analyzed historical fare trends to pinpoint the best times to book.

Thanksgiving fares bottom out five weeks before the holiday

Domestic airfare has historically hit its lowest point roughly five weeks before Thanksgiving, meaning travelers who haven't booked should aim to do so before the end of October. Prices climb sharply within two weeks of departure. Flying on Thanksgiving Day itself, historically one of the cheapest travel days, can save up to 19% domestically and 49% internationally compared with November 20, the most expensive date to fly.
