Status: offline 		Seriously thinking about Christmas 2013 in Akumal but wondering how much the airfares are. Airline bookings do not allow to book that far in advance and I am wondering if any Calgarians know how much airfares are during the Xmas high season. We normally pay around $715 per person.

Is there really any way to tell what they will be a year from now? If so I'd like to have that crystal ball too please.

Of course seat sales are occasionally offerred but I doubt any deals are ever available for the holiday season.

I agree it would be nice to know in advance. We like to book our trips early.. sometimes we have to wait for this very reason.

Last year we paid $645 return (direct flight YYC to Cancun) taxes etc all in. This year i am looking a flights that are $640 one way direct to Cancun from YYC before all the tax and extra charges. CRAZY!!!
Lousy pricing for seat sales - that all drag you through Toronto first.

If I fly from Abbotsfor to Calgary and then to Cancun I can save $200 - and that flight that Abbotsford connects to is the same one that cost $649 if you book Calgary to Cun.
NUTS!!!!!

I was forced to wait until fairly last minute and paid dearly for seperate flights with two different carriers . Condo rentals increase by 50% from early November lows and car prices double or more , both based on supply and demand . We have been south for the last ten Christmas holidays and always pay lots more for everything with more crowded beaches . Normally we must travel then or not until March . Good luck

Last year we paid almost $1000 per person for that same time. That is nor quite twice what we usually pay. Expect it to hirt a bit.
