Mexico is not one airport. Cancún (CUN) covers the Caribbean coast, MEX the capital, SJD Los Cabos, PVR Puerto Vallarta. Search the city you mean — a cheap fare to the wrong coast wastes a day.
Beach vs city
Cancún and the Riviera Maya are resort and reef trips. Mexico City is food, museums and neighborhoods. Los Cabos mixes desert and Pacific. U.S. citizens typically need a passport, not a tourist visa, for short stays — confirm current rules.
When to go
December through April is the dry season on much of the Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Hurricane season runs late summer into fall. Shoulder months can be quieter if you stay flexible.
Money and resorts
Pesos are the local currency; dollars are accepted in some tourist zones at weaker rates. All-inclusive hotels are booked separately from FaresMatch airfare.
