12/07/2003 Archived Entry: "Cheap flights from Mexico D.F. to Cancun"

Christmas is coming soon and so is the urge to find a cheap flight from Mexico D.F. to Cancun. I will describe below some recommended sources of low-cost tickets: Mexicana Mex-E-Savers sometimes lists bargain flights, mostly in low-season and essentially (...)

Mexicana Mex-E-Savers sometimes lists bargain flights, mostly in low-season and essentially from Mexico to foreign destinations.

Aeromexico Faresavers usually has a good selection of cheap domestic and international fares but with stringent dates restrictions.

Despegar Mexico is a leading travel Web site with very competitive prices for flights, and poor offers for hotels and car rental, as well as an apalling customer service line. Definitely a "must-check" when flying domestically in Mexico. However, beware of the Pesos $200 ticket issuing fee and the Pesos $100 delivery charge!

Rumbo is a competitor of Despegar which might have good deals. Worth checking, but don't expect miracles.

Aviacsa is a smaller airline that flies from Mexico D.F. to Cancun for around Pesos $2500 per person, sometimes even less. Aviacsa flights are also listed on Despegar. Their Web site does not allow online reservations.

A couple more options include the airline Lineas Aereas Allegro which I flew a couple of time. Expect no comfort, sort of Ryan Air style, but prices as low as Pesos $2000 return (check Despegar or call directly). If you are really courageous (or fearless of your life), you can try "Lineas Aereas Aztecas" (ex-TAESA), but please make sure that you write your will first!
