Volaris - A heads up!
I was delighted with our first experience of the above airline flying from Oaxaca to Puebla. Decent fares, good legroom and the most orderly boarding ever!
Fast forward to a couple of days ago and I got an email offering 600pesos pp to change my flight from Mérida to MEX. I didn’t think anything of it as I didn’t want to change. Today I go to check in online and notice that the dep time has moved from 09.45AM to 10:20 PM!!! Meaning an arrival at our hotel around 02:00 am. I am beyond p***ed off 🤬. I checked back to see whether I had made a mistake or missed something but no, no notification of a change at all.
I am left with no alternative but to accept this at this late stage an am having to check with the hotel in CDMX that they have 24 hour reception. If not I may have to cancel and find an alternative

Not this time. Was going to book there but rates had shot up so looked further afield and came up with NaNaVida a small Mexican chain with just three locations , CDMX, Oaxaca and Morelia. Still in the same Roma Norte location,which we really liked
, just a few blocks from the Stanza. Looks nice and got a great deal AND I called them and the nice kind people will let me in at 01:00 am!

Good deal! Do like that neighborhood. I wonder if there was a conference or something on your dates, as I don't see the rates to be much higher than your booking. Always good to try new places.
