Escaping the cold weather with a trip to Mexico is still an affordable possibility.

As the temperatures and snow begin to fall across most of the cold-weather states in the coming weeks, a vacation to Mexico is a popular getaway for sun-seekers. For the 2024-2025 winter travel season, many airlines have launched additional flight capacity to Mexico in an effort to keep up with the growing demand. This includes additional flight routes to the newly-opened Tulum International Airport, outside of Cancun.

Travel + Leisure spotted a variety of flight deals to Mexico, from Cancun to Puerto Vallarta. All of the examples below are one-way fares, and include the flight number we spotted with the discount at the time of publication to help readers book at the best price.
