HOLY MOLY, BAT MAN.....I just found a rate for my airfare for our May trip for (TOTAL) $220 per person DFW to CUN, from April 30 to May 14 round trip. I have booked air in the past that was double this. Crazy good deal man!

i am jealous, it hasn't been cheaper than 563$ from KC to CUN direct in a LONG TIME. We can connect in Dallas (AA) or Houston (CON) for around $350 but who wants a 6 hour trip there and an 8 hour trip back. NOT ME.... worth the extra for 3 hours direct (with a TV to add hahaha)

Yes, the rate I received the email about was for Spirit. However, pricing American Airlines for the same nonstop was only about $250 pp roundtrip for the same dates. I am blown over!

Most airlines charge for checked bags. Compare the prices with the check bag fee included.

When I fly spirit I dont pay for
advanced seat assignment
premium seat
food
drinks

So for me the only extra charge is the carry-on bag fee.

I fly whoever gets me there fastest & cheapest.

I'm seeing a low of $367 for American over those dates. They dropped $20 since I bought a few weeks ago. My suggestion, BUY!

Usually when you get an alert like that for airfare you better pull the trigger within minutes as there are only a few seats available at the said price. I've been on to the site within minutes and only once or twice have I been able to book the fare. It's bait to get you on the sites but if you really try to buy them it will be very difficult. Many times I've gotten the we're sorry with an explanation about the costs. The flight we have for April has gone up almost $200 for the pair since two weeks ago (not that I check it

.)

Really high still for nonstop from LA, hanging steady at $661. I paid around $350-360 last few times I went so hanging in there. Could live with $450, Maybe $500.

Check Virgin America. If you can be flexible with your dates you can find non stops for around $500. We did. I'm already shoping for our next trip and we haven't even left yet on the tickets we have. Looking for a fall trip later.
I found non stops in August for 1060 for two. No bag charge and a super airline.

Hi panesh, yes Virgin America and United are the only two nonstops to Cancun, took United last year, they got the job done but were a bit impersonal, so hoping to try Virgin, people seem to like them. They are $661 and have been for over a week, both Kayak and Bing are telling me to wait, so I am since trip is not until May.
