News With Maya - Best Time to Book Flights to Mexico & the Caribbean

About this video

The best time to book flights to Mexico and the Caribbean can make a huge difference in what you pay, especially if you’re planning destination wedding travel. In this video, we’re sharing simple, expert-backed tips to help you find cheaper airfare, avoid overpaying, and get everyone to paradise with less stress.

Airfare prices are constantly changing, and as travel demand rises, timing matters more than ever. One of the biggest tips we recommend is booking flights about six months before travel, particularly for peak destination wedding seasons like winter and early spring. That tends to give travelers the best mix of price, availability, and seat selection.

While some major airlines release schedules and pricing up to 11 months ahead, smaller airlines often don’t publish fares until around the six-month window. That’s important because once more airlines enter the market, competition increases—and prices can drop.

Another huge way to save money is to fly mid-week. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are often significantly cheaper than weekend flights, and in some cases, the airfare savings are so big that adding an extra night at the resort costs less overall. (And honestly… who wouldn’t want one more beach day?)

It’s also smart to check smaller regional airports. Sometimes a quick connection through a bigger hub can unlock surprisingly competitive fares—especially for guests who don’t live near major cities.

Finally, don’t wait until the last minute to start watching prices. Set up flight alerts early so you can track fluctuations, compare routes, and feel confident when it’s time to book.

Affordable airfare makes it easier for guests to attend and helps couples feel less stress about asking friends and family to travel. When flight planning is done right, your wedding week starts smoother for everyone.

In today's top story, we're helping you fly smarter with insider tips on how to find the best airfare deals to Mexico and the Caribbean, especially for your destination wedding or romantic getaway. As travel demand continues to rise, airfare trends are shifting. The key to landing great fairs, timing, flexibility, and smart planning. Experts recommend booking your flights around six months before travel, particularly for peak wedding seasons like winter and early spring. This gives you the best mix of seat selection and savings. While major airlines release their schedules 11 months before travel, the smaller airlines don't release schedules until about 6 months, waiting for all airlines to publish their fairs results in more competition between airlines and often cheaper fairs for travelers. Another pro tip, depart midweek instead of weekends. Tuesday and Wednesday flights can be hundreds of dollars less than Saturday departures. Sometimes adding an extra night comes out to cost less overall because the air savings are so great. Who wouldn't want an extra beach day? Keep in mind that smaller regional airports can sometimes offer competitive fairs when paired with a quick connection, so don't overlook them when comparing options.
