We BARELY made the connection and when we got onboard we were treated like disobedient children who should have arrived earlier because we had to ask other passengers to move so we could sit with our kids. The flight attendants on the first flight were nice but the second one, they were snippy and fairly rude.

  • How busy are the airports in Dallas and Cancun?

    Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) are the two main airports offering flights to Cancun from Dallas. You can get direct, one-stop, and two-stop flights from any of the two airports to Cancun International Airport (CUN) every day. However, most of the direct flights to CUN are from DFW. These direct flights typically take around three hours. DFW is the busier of the two airports since it’s a major international gateway into the United States. However, it is about 30 minutes from the city center, meaning that DAL, which is only 20 minutes away, is more easily accessible from the city center. Moreover, DAL is much smaller, meaning it is easier to navigate, and the queues are shorter. Nonetheless, DAL lacks a major service: direct flights to Cancun.

  • Which airlines fly directly from Dallas to Cancun?

    There’s only American Airlines providing direct flights to Cancun from Dallas. These flights are from DFW, and you can expect to land at CUN around three hours after takeoff.

United Airlines flights have their layover in Washington, Delta in Atlanta, and Southwest Airlines in Houston. The Mexican airlines, Aeromexico and VivaAerobus, have their stops in Mexico City, while American Airlines has its stops in several cities, including Miami, Charlotte, and Chicago. These layovers can add up to ten hours to your flight, but connecting flights are much cheaper than direct flights to CUN.

Fortunately, there are several carriers you can compare in order to promote more sustainable travel practices. For example, Spirit Airlines, Delta, and United all offer flights to Cancun, Mexico (CUN), from Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport (DFW) in Texas. Among these airlines, Delta has made massive strides toward sustainable travel by investing in reforestation initiatives to reduce carbon in the atmosphere and is using alternative fuels in an effort to become carbon neutral this decade. Likewise, United is working closely with airports to reduce jet fuel waste and is committed to utilizing newer, more fuel-efficient airplanes in its fleet. Spirit Airlines is also an eco-friendly option, recently declaring itself to be the "greenest" major airline in the US. Efforts include incentivizing passengers to pack lighter for their trips, thereby reducing fuel usage and waste en route.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from Dallas to Cancun?

    Your sustainable flight to Cancun from Dallas begins at home as you pack lighter to reduce fuel usage, not only on the airplane, but also while in transit to and from the airport on your Mexican adventure.
