SkyTeam Premium Economy to Cancún for €725 from Barcelona

Air France Premium Economy

SkyTeam member Air France will fly you to Cancún for only €725 if you depart from Barcelona. On most dates, you’ll be able to fly with merely one stop in Paris. Sometimes, however, a second stop may be necessary, either in Mexico City or Atlanta.

Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of 7-28 days and can redirect you to Air France’s booking site:

Only the long-haul transatlantic flight has a premium economy class. You’ll be seated in economy class on the Air France flights between Barcelona and Paris. The same applies if your trip has a Delta segment between Cancún and Atlanta or an Aeroméxico segment between Cancún and Mexico City.

Another alternative is to fly in Delta’s premium economy with only one stop in New York, though that option drastically reduces the time that you’ll actually be sitting in premium economy, as the 4-hour flight from New York to Cancún would be in economy class.

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.

Information & Tips for Mexico

Mayan pyramids, dreamy beaches and tacos – Mexico is an incredibly diverse country. If you want to experience the Spanish-speaking country to its fullest, you should definitely stay somewhere other than the tourist hotspots and seaside resorts.

The Best Time to Travel

The perfect travel time is from December to April, during this time it hardly rains and the temperatures are pleasant. Unsurprisingly, during the rainy season from May to October there is more rainfall. Beware of some extreme weather phenomenons that might be unknown to Europeans: Hurricane season lasts from June to November! Those who want to travel to typical holiday areas like Cancún and do not want to spend lots of money should travel in the off season. Areas with less touristic relevance such as Mexico City, on the other hand, are relatively constant throughout the year from a price perspective.

Currency, Credit Cards & Tipping

The official currency of the country is the Mexican Peso. 1 EUR equals about MX$18. The acceptance of credit cards is comparable to or even slightly better than Germany. In almost all shops, even small kiosks, it is possible and quite normal to pay by card. The same applies to restaurants. For street vendors, street snack bars and the like, it is advisable to have a few pesos in cash with you. It is unusual to tip taxis or cab drivers. At a restaurant, 10-15 percent are normal, as long as the tip is not already listed on the bill as a line item. When paying by card, you can usually choose how much you want to tip at the card terminal before entering the pin. Housekeeping at a hotel should usually be tipped 20-40 Pesos per day, small favours have a going tip rate of 5 Pesos.

Immigration & Visa Requirements

Most EU citizens do not need a visa to enter Mexico. All you need to do is fill out the tourist card that is handed out onboard the plane. For touristic and business purposes, a visa-free stay of 180 days is possible.
