Hi,
We have been offered an opportunity to holiday in cancun from the 4th-11th dec 2010.
We have been looking at flights from london and they are over £1800.00. Is this really the cheapest way to get to cancun. Dont mind stopovers or alternative routes, any ideas??
Thanks in advance

    most flights are probably booked up to somewhere like that with nice weather.

    skyscanner shows £573 per person with a connection in JFK outbound and ORD inbound

    Hi,

    Had a quick look for you. Best price is KLM 681.87pp but it is a very long flight because of the stopovers.
    If you want any details PM me.

    Thanks,

    Sophie

    Thanks everyone for the quick responses,
    On a 13 hr stopover for example, how much are we going to spend on a room for the night, ie taxi's etc as apposed to a shorter stopover albiet for a more expensive fare?
    Guess thats the question

    Its true. Although some countries do not let you leave the airport... visa requirements.
    It is a shame that there are no Charter Airlines travelling that day.
