A New Way to Fly Nonstop From Miami to Cancun

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - August 26, 2024

What do you think of when you think of Cancun? Is it the sprawling all-inclusive resorts? Or the Mayan ruins? Or the tiny Mexican Caribbean beach towns? 

Maybe it’s the laid-back vibes of tiny Isla Mujeres, just off the coast from Cancun, or the fishing boats of Puerto Morelos, a short drive away. 

Whatever version of Cancun you have in mind, it’s about to get even easier to fly to the Western Caribbean hotspot. Beginning in December, Aeromexico is launching new nonstop flights between Miami and Cancun, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

Aeromexico, in partnership with Delta, will begin Miami-Cancun flights on Dec. 19, the carriers confirmed in a statement.

It’s Aeromexico’s second route in Miami, joining existing flights between Miami and Mexico City. The company says it will operate service on Boeing 737 MAX-8 aircraft, with room for 166 travelers. 

While Cancun has been seeing slightly slower passenger traffic in recent months, its place as the Mexican Caribbean’s most-visited destination isn’t going anywhere. 

So what will the flight cost? A sample itinerary for late December booked on Aeromexico’s classic fare class is priced at around $$471.96, according to the airline’s Web site. That price goes up if you want a refundable fare or cost-free flight changes.
