Volaris, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
- The bus from San Diego station left on time: precisely 3 hours before takeoff
- The bus driver was friendly and helped with baggage while transiting Mexican customs
- The bus driver was good to his friends and gave one a lift from TJ to the airport
- At Tijuana airport, check in took less than two minutes
- The departure lounge was scrupulously clean with a great view of TJ
- On board, every flight attendant was friendly and helpful
- Their Web site allowed me to reserve exit row seats at no extra charge
- The all-leather seats were incredibly comfortable
- We were served two rounds of snacks and drinks at no charge
- Snacks included popcorn, chips, pork rinds, apple juice, soda, or beer - all for free
- The plane took off right on time and landed five minutes early - in both directions
- Luggage was delivered as quickly as it took to reach the baggage claim - no waiting!
- Safety announcements were delivered by Mayrín Villanueva, the most beautiful actress I've seen in years
- Aircraft cabins were immaculately clean
- They even gave you a free Mentos upon exiting the airplane
