How much is a flight from New Orleans to Cancun?

Flight prices from New Orleans to Cancun follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The carrier you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Arrival: Cancun International Airport (CUN) and getting into Cancun

You arrive at Cancun International Airport (CUN). ADO buses run from the airport terminals to downtown Cancun and Playa del Carmen and suit a light-luggage budget trip; a private car is simpler for the Hotel Zone, Costa Mujeres, Tulum, Holbox or a family with luggage, because resorts are spread over many kilometres. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Cancun, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Onward flights or trains from Cancun the same day can be added to the booking; tell us and we choose a New Orleans to Cancun departure that leaves a safe connection.

Things to do in Cancun when you land

Cancún is Mexico's biggest Caribbean resort, a beachfront Hotel Zone on a narrow sandbar and a working downtown, and the gateway to the Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres and Chichén Itzá. Start with Tulum ruins on the cliff, Cenotes of the Riviera Maya and Parque de las Palapas, then Underwater museum of sculptures (MUSA) and Holbox island and whale sharks in summer. A tip from our desk: Arrivals are busy: ignore offers at the terminal exit, go to your arranged driver, and share your flight number and hotel name with kilometre marker on the Hotel Zone road; and check which terminal (2, 3 or 4) you arrive at.
