Mexico is a dream destination for many people, whether they are sun worshippers, golfers, surfers or just love culture. The peak season for Mexico is between July and September and this is when the south-coast resorts will be full of tourists. July and August are very busy as is Semana Santa (the week before Easter) and Christmas. The best time to find cheap flights to Mexico is immediately after the rainy season (usually May to September) when the crowds will be smaller and the temperatures will be lower, although it can still be humid.
To find the best prices check for cheap flights to Mexico on the websites of some of the travel operators such as travelsupermarket.com, expedia.co.uk, skyscanner.net, kayak or opodo.co.uk. It is a good idea to consider more than one site so that you can easily compare the different offers. Remember that no one site is likely to have all the same offers available.
It may also be worth visiting websites such as traveldealsdiscounts.co.uk or moneysupermarket.com to check if there are any discounts being offered by the major airlines or deals on hotels. The best deals on flights are usually from smaller carriers. If you are flexible about when you can go, try lastminute.com as they can offer price reductions of up to 50 percent.
Alternatively, booking well in advance can save you a lot of money. However, these flights may have to be booked up to a month in advance and you cannot deviate from the planned schedule.
Discount travel agencies may also offer cheap flights to Mexico and if you are a student or a pensioner then remember to ask if there are any special deals you may be eligible for. Check out websites such as avro.co.uk for charter flights which can work out cheaper than scheduled flights, although you have less control over when you fly.
