Oneworld partners British Airways, American Airlines, Finnair, and Iberia are now offering discounted business class tickets from Brussels to Cancun. You can fly to the Mexican paradise for €1,125 until May 2021.
In theory, Mexico will let you enter the country. However, you should also always first check the regulations of your own country for when you want to return from Mexico. We also recommend that you book directly on Iberia‘s or British Airways‘ website, even if that increases the price by almost €100.
Please be extra careful when booking flights with a layover in Dallas/Miami, as the USA currently don’t allow any transit passengers.
There are many possible routings from Brussels, but all of them have two layovers – e.g. in Madrid and Miami or in London and New York. You’ll usually be flying on a Boeing 777, 747, or an Airbus A330.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, this deal will expire on December 31, 2020 (which, we believe to be unlikely). You can fly between July 2020 and July 2021, even though it is currently only possible to book until June. The minimum stay requirement is of 6 days, and the maximum is 3 months.
You can find available dates very simply by using Google Flights. You can then book the flights on our Travel-Dealz flight search or directly at, e.g. British Airways.

Information & Tips for Cancún
Cancún is probably the most famous holiday destination in Mexico next to Mexico City and known to most tourists in the context of beach holidays spring break. The city is well-connected to the USA as well as to Europe with plenty of scheduled and charter flights.
The Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Cancún is from November to March. During this time temperatures are quite high and precipitation is comparatively low. The Hurricane season stretches from May to September – even if hurricanes do not form, this period of time brings a lot of precipitation and tropical storms.
From the Airport to the City Center
A taxi from the airport to the beach, where most hotels are, costs about €30-35, depending on the traffic and the exact route. Shuttle buses are cheaper, but due to their disorganized nature it is advisable for tourists to use a licensed taxi or book a transfer with their tour operator.
