Air Travel to Mexico

Although you can get there by road, air travel to Mexico from Canada and the United States is the most convenient way.

Flights arrive and depart daily and spending a bit of time researching the online travel booking sites can probably get you a cheap airfare deal.

Brrrr ... Good bye cold wintery Toronto ...

Mmmm ... Hellooooo WARM Mexico!

During Your Flight

For Adults:

Great ways to pass the time on the flight:

• Check out the in-flight movie.  If you've traveled by air before and previously bought a headset to listen to the movie, be sure to pack it (I always forget).
• Flip open the spanish/english dictionary or book and practice some commonly used terms in Mexico
• Have a snooze listening to your favorite tunes on your personal disc player (I recommend you bring one if you have one because the music wasn't the greatest on the airline stations).
• Plan your itinerary; jot down some ideas of what you would like to do in Mexico.
• Bring along some compact travel games to keep busy during the flight.

For Kids:

For your little ones (and teenagers), you'll need more than just a short list of things to do.  The movies that the airline shows may not hold their attention!

You can't have a reasonably enjoyable flight to start off your Mexico family vacation if the kids aren't happy!

So be sure to bring along some activities for them or you'll be spending most of your time trying to keep them from climbing the airplane walls :)

We have prepared a list of kid's games, activities and ideas that we are sure you and your children will have fun with during your flight.

Ahhhhh yes, an Ixtapa beach in Mexico

 The Fontan Ixtapa Beach Resort

(Ixtapa our favorite spot in Mexico so far)

Both times we traveled to Mexico we purchased all inclusive packages so our return flight was included in the price.  Although during our research for our trips we also looked at separate pricing for air travel to Mexico and hotel accommodations.

Tips For Buying Cheap Airline Tickets

1. Use an online booking agency that compares the different prices of airfares for you to find the best discount airfare.

2. Bear in mind that certain days of the week will be cheaper to fly.  When comparing prices, plug in different days to see the differences - you may be surprised.  Be as flexible in your dates and times of travel as possible to get the best prices.

3. Check if the booking agency can include other deals with your air travel to Mexico tickets; car rentals, restaurant discounts, hotel rooms, etc.

4. Check the last minute deals pages on the online booking sites.  There may be an air travel to Mexico sell off on tickets or vacation packages that you can pick up at a steal price.

5. Booking as early ahead as possible may get you extra airline ticket savings.
