Your guide to booking Orlando Airport to Cancún flights

  • If your dates can be flexible, aim for a Monday departure instead of Sunday. On this route, Monday flights average $381 - about $29 less than Sunday (7% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 3 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 21% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Orlando Airport to Cancún trip for January. Fares historically average $305 round-trip in that month - typically $166 less than the most expensive month, which is July (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $363 round-trip on this route - about $28 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Cancun Airport.
    - Hilton Garden Inn Cancun Airport
    - Courtyard by Marriott Cancun Airport
    - City Express by Marriott Cancun Aeropuerto
  • If you are rushing and you fear being late for or missing your flight from Orlando International Airport (MCO), consider downloading the Orlando MCO Airport app so that you can more efficiently navigate the enormous and busy airport.
  • At MCO, nursing mothers can find nine designated areas where they can nurse in privacy if they prefer or pump if they need to. There are five nursing rooms and four free-standing lactation pods. You can download the Mamava Location app to help you locate the nearest available pod and help you access it once you find it.
  • At MCO, you can park your car long-term for up to 45 days right near the terminals at the airport garages on site. Economy lots are further from the terminals but about half the price. Each economy lot offers a free shuttle to a specifically designated terminal. So, if you choose an economy lot, make sure you choose the correct one for your particular flight.
  • At Cancun International Airport (CUN), you can exchange your US dollars for Mexican pesos at one of several noticeable currency exchange kiosks throughout the airport in terminals 2, 3, and 4. They are easily accessible, but do not give very good exchange rates. Therefore, you should consider exchanging only enough money to get you where you are going immediately from the airport, then find a better exchange rate somewhere in the city.
  • If you have someone who will be waiting to pick you up at CUN, consider meeting them at “The Meeting Point.” This is a designated waiting area and restaurant located in Terminal 2 and Arrival Terminal 3.
