Before Departure

Viva check-in at OAX

Viva’s online check-in window depends on the fare purchased. Its published guidance lists later check-in for lower fares and earlier access for higher fare bundles, so check the window shown in your reservation.

For domestic flights, Viva recommends going to the airport counter about 2 hours before departure if you need check-in assistance or baggage drop.

Fare-Specific Rules

Viva baggage

Viva uses fare bundles with different baggage allowances, so what is included can vary substantially from one ticket to another. Lower fares are designed for lighter travel, while higher bundles can include carry-on and checked baggage.

Review the baggage allowance shown in your reservation before packing. Adding baggage in advance is generally better than discovering an allowance mismatch at the airport.
