Good to know
Flying to Cancún — your questions answered
- How much are flights to Cancún?
- Round-trip fares to Cancún start from around $657 in the low season (September–November), rising well above $500 over Christmas, New Year and spring break. Cancún has intense airline competition from the US and Canada, so booking early and flying midweek gets the best prices.
- When is the best time to visit Cancún?
- Late April–May and November are the sweet spots: warm, mostly dry weather, fewer crowds, gentler prices and less seaweed than mid-summer. December–April has the best weather but the highest prices, while September–October is cheapest but wettest, within hurricane season.
- Which airport should I fly into?
- Cancún International (CUN) is Mexico's second-busiest airport, about 20 km and a 20–30 minute drive south of the Hotel Zone. Pre-book a shared or private shuttle online, take the ADO bus (~$6), or use an official taxi — and ignore the timeshare touts in arrivals.
- Should I book an all-inclusive resort?
- All-inclusive suits travellers who want to relax on-site with meals, drinks and entertainment bundled in. If you plan to tour the ruins, cenotes and islands and sample the local food scene, a room-only stay is often better value and lets you explore Cancún beyond the resort gates.
- Is Cancún good for day trips?
- Exceptionally. Chichén Itzá, Tulum and Cobá bring the Maya world within reach, cenotes and the great eco-parks (Xcaret, Xel-Há, Xplor) line the Riviera Maya, and short ferries reach the islands of Isla Mujeres and Cozumel. The cheap ADO buses make independent trips easy.
