When to Travel

• The off-peak seasons in Cancun are fall and late spring, so these are the cheapest times to visit. Keep in mind, however, that hurricane season lasts from June to November, so if you travel during this time you may want to get trip insurance. Also, you will find cheaper airfare and hotels during the week than on weekends. And be sure to avoid holidays and the times most North American schools take breaks.
  
  

Deals on Airfare, Hotels

• When you've decided on a general time of year to travel, you can save big money by comparing airfare and hotel prices. One of the cheapest ways to go at any time is to find flight/hotel packages. These can be found on sites such as CancunAirfare.com and CancunGreatVacations.com. If you would rather choose your hotel and flight separately, you can use sites such as SideStep.com and TripAdvisor.com's page dedicated specifically to Cancun travel. If you are a student, you should look into student trips to Cancun, which are usually offered at great prices, even during peak times. Check sites like STSTravel.com for these packages.
