If arriving on time is high on your priority list, United Airlines is the strongest pick on this route. 84% of United Airlines flights from Denver to Cancún arrived on time in the past 3 months, slightly above the route's average on-time arrival rate of 82%. When flights on this route do arrive late, the average delay is 2 hours 23 minutes, so choosing a carrier with strong on-time performance can make a difference on tight schedules.
If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Orlando Airport (MCO) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $260 round-trip on this route - about $252 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
Check out Frontier Airlines, United Airlines or Volaris Airlines for nonstop flights from Denver Intl (DEN) to Cancun Airport (CUN). If you’re looking to travel with American Airlines, that is also an option with a short layover in either Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) or Charlotte Douglas (CLT). Most of these flights will take you to Terminal 3 of Cancun Airport (CUN).
Denver International Airport is 25 miles away from downtown Denver and is well-connected to the city center by public transportation taking the A line from Union Station. If you prefer taxi services to get to the airport instead, they are also affordable.
If you’re looking to get through security quickly, look for the TSA line close to the pedestrian bridge that links the Westin Hotel to Concourse A. This security line tends to be less busy than others in the airport.
Denver Airport has plenty of services to keep you entertained once you get through security, including free Wi-Fi, free charging stations for your devices, various nursing rooms and even prayer halls. Be sure to check out the views of the Rockies from Concourse C while you wait to board your flight. Alternatively, check out the United Club East or the Delta Sky Club lounges while you wait for your flight.
When flying into Cancun, note that it is extremely tourist-friendly, but this can sometimes be overwhelming when deciding how to get to your next destination. Your best bet is to pre-book a transfer from the airport to your hotel before you travel so that there is someone waiting for you upon arrival, and you can skip the hassle of dealing with it at the airport. A simple search online will return plenty of companies offering this service, which usually costs anywhere from $13-23, depending on whether you choose a shared or a private service.
When flying from Denver to Cancun, you will depart from Denver International Airport (DEN) and land at the primary airport serving Cancun - the Cancun International Airport (CUN). You will definitely enjoy your experience departing from DEN, especially due to the Canine Airport Therapy Squad (CATS) program. This allows you to cuddle your pet and relieve stress during the busy airport experience.
After a long flight, enjoy a relaxing time at Hilton Garden Inn Cancun Airport. The hotel is located next to the Airport, just a few minutes from Terminals 2 and 3. If you're coming from Terminal 4, board the courtesy Terminal Shuttle to Terminal 2 and walk the rest of the street to the Hilton Garden Inn.
One of the perks of this route is flights that feature one or more layovers. This allows you to break your flight and enjoy multiple destinations in one trip. Popular layovers involve airlines like WestJet, and Frontier, having layovers at Calgary (YYC), Toronto Pearson Intl (YYZ), Orlando (MCO) or Baltimore/Washington (BWI).
