The agreement between Southwest and low-fare Mexican airline Volaris is still taking shape. It amounts to the first venture by Southwest abroad. Southwest passengers will be able to transfer to Volaris flights to all points the airline serves. Volaris is unable to expand its routes to the United States until the FAA restores Mexico to Category 1. Bookings in the United States must be made directly with Southwest, which, like Volaris, shuns outside reservations systems. On arrival in Mexico, passengers will be required to check in with Volaris, but baggage will be transferred automatically (or so it is hoped).
