- Check-in & airport time: Arrive at George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) at least 3 hours before departure for international check-in and security screening.
- Baggage rules: Volaris has clear limits for both carry-on and checked bags. Check your fare type for specifics on weight and size, and avoid surprises by measuring your bags in advance.

Arrival and transportation
Your flight touches down at Francisco Sarabia International Airport (TRC), officially known as Torreon International Airport, located just 4 miles east of the city center.
The Torreon airport sits at an elevation of 3,688 feet above sea level in the heart of the La Laguna Metropolitan Area, which encompasses Torreon in Coahuila and the neighboring cities of Gómez Palacio and Lerdo in Durango. Taxis are readily available outside the terminal with fixed rates to downtown Torreon. Ride-sharing services operate from designated pickup zones with clear signage throughout the airport.
Most visitors head to the city center, where you'll find the majority of hotels concentrated along Boulevard Independencia and the historic downtown area. The city offers accommodations ranging from budget-friendly options in the historic center—some of which have hosted prominent figures in Mexican history—to modern business hotels and the luxurious Crowne Plaza, considered the city's premier lodging option.
The city offers an excellent blend of traditional Mexican cuisine with regional specialties from the Comarca Lagunera. Downtown restaurants serve everything from authentic street tacos to upscale dining experiences, with many establishments concentrated along Feliciano Cobian Avenue for those seeking gourmet options.
Known as "La Perla de la Laguna" (The Pearl of La Laguna), Torreon is one of Mexico's youngest and most dynamic cities, blending industrial prowess with cultural richness and warm northern hospitality.
Cristo de las Noas
One of the tallest Christ statues in Latin America watches over the city from the Cerro de las Noas. Ride the cable car up for a fantastic view of the valley, then explore the small chapel and museum nearby.
Canal de la Perla
This underground tunnel was once used for water distribution and is now an atmospheric art space. Check out seasonal exhibitions and murals while walking through this hidden piece of Torreon’s past.
Bosque Venustiano Carranza
A popular urban park where locals gather for weekend runs, morning exercise, and open-air events. You’ll find food stalls, bike rentals, and enough shade to escape the desert sun for a while.
Museo Arocena
This world-class museum sits right in the city center and blends European art, Mexican history, and contemporary exhibitions. A quiet must-see for anyone interested in culture and design.
Dunas de Bilbao
Just outside Torreon, these striking white sand dunes feel like another world. Perfect for sandboarding, photoshoots, or simply walking barefoot across soft, sculpted terrain, the Dunas de Bilbao are a surreal natural wonder in the middle of the desert.
