Cancun is a very popular vacation location. Both Air Canada and West Jet have daily scheduled flights from Toronto to Cancun. Air Transat and Sunwing offer several weekly charter flights to Cancun.  It is easy to see and compare the different flights from Toronto on tripcentral.ca’s flight reservations system.

If you would like to talk with someone a tripcentral travel agent will be happy to discuss all your options with you, including seat sales and discount airfare. They will give you advice so that your travel experience is based on your departure, budget and comfort needs.  Your experience in Cancun is just as valuable, if not more, than any cheap flights they might find you.  Depending on your plans and budget they may recommend a vacation package, or help you create your unique Cancun vacation.

Always compare scheduled and charter airfares when looking for cheap flights from Toronto to Cancun. Also compare vacation packages and all inclusive resorts with any individual travel plans. You may find that a vacation package or all inclusive resort provides cheaper airfare.

Scheduled Flights:
Regularly scheduled airfares are very competitive and it is possible to find cheap flights.  Air Canada and West Jet now and then offer discount airfare or have last minute seat sales.  The best time to book your airline tickets is between one to four months before your trip or holiday. Booking sooner than later will let you take advantage of any discounts being offered before they sell out.

There is a myth that cheap airfare is always available at the last minute. It is true that there is a chance there might be seat sales within 30 days of departure.  But if you are waiting for seat sales you risk the flight selling out and missing the departure date you wanted. Also because flights to Cancun can sell out quickly you may find that ticket prices increase instead of decrease. It is a good idea to discuss this with your tripcentral travel agent to find out the best options to have your desired departure date and the lowest airfares.

Flying from Toronto to Cancun at the last minute can be expensive. Usually any cheap flights have already sold out. Airfares offered by Air Transat and Sunwing might be your best option.

Charter Flights:
Air Transat and Sunwing offer several weekly flights from Toronto to Cancun. The benefit of charter flights is discount airfare. Charter airfare is set months in advance, usually the spring for the following  fall and winter.  This means that charter airfare does not normally change with demand.

Air Transat and Sunwing may have cheap flights before any seat sales or discounts.  Anyone can fly charter and take advantage of the discounted airfare. However, most people are booked on charter flights as part of a vacation package. Charter flights often reserve seats for people booking with all inclusive resorts.  This means you will want to book early as there are usually fewer seats available. Occasionally there may be a last minute seat sale, but not usually. This only happens when the seats held for vacation packages have not sold thirty days prior to departure.

Vacation Packages:
Vacation packages can offer cheap flights because they do volume seats with charter airlines. When planning a trip to Cancun you should compare the whole trip, not just the airfare. You want to get the best deals on everything, not only your flight. You can always call a tripcentral.ca’s travel agent to find out all your options. They can help you get what you want whether it is cheap flights or specific vacation locations and activities.

Flying from border cities:
Occasionally cheap flights can be found at border cities. If it is more convenient or less expensive for you to fly out of the border cities you may wish to explore that option.  Just keep in mind any expenses or inconvenience involved with getting to a border city. Savings from cheap flights in border cities may not be real savings once the cost of getting to the different airports is compared.  Discount airfare and seat sales are only valuable if they actually save you money.
