San Francisco (SJC) to Cancun (CUN)

Are you flying to Cancun for a much-needed vacation or is it about time for you to have a family reunion? Or maybe you're traveling for work? Hey, anything that gets you away from that desk is a win in our books. You're on the perfect page to get an awesome rate on your next flight from San Francisco. Whether you are an airline aficionado or only have a few trips under your wing, read on to see how to book a too-good-to-be-true flight.

How can you get a great rate on tickets from SJC to CUN?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, which means getting that great deal on a Cancun flight is easy-peasy. You'll make spending less look so very good with a few simple steps.

Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?

It pays to be a weekday warrior. Those middle children of the work week, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next in line are Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most like to come back from their trip on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.

Why are flights cheaper if you stay over the weekend?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to SJC can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less elastic itineraries, so that means savings for you. Of course, we don't want to twist your rubber arm or anything.

What are shoulder seasons?

It's all about going to a place when its weather is at its best. For example, Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are big hits in the summer. During spring, New Orleans, Florida, and California open their arms to tourists. Winter is prime for Mexico and the Caribbean because of its warm weather, as well as ski and snowboard destinations like the Colorado Rockies. Who doesn't love that harvest of autumn colors? The Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and New England are popular this time of the year. If you can plan your trip around these peak seasons, you'll not only save money, but you'll typically avoid the crowds. Win-win in our books.

If the price is right, pick it!

Airlines change their rates often. If a price you love pops up, then grab it! You're not the only vacation-hungry person seeking a terrific price on a ticket from San Francisco to Cancun. You might miss out on your opportunity to get the carrier and the schedule you want.
