Nice fare for flights from Paris to Cancún

Even if the prices are really low, this doesn’t mean you have to pack light. Fortunately, one piece of checked luggage is already included in this deal.

Flights with Air Canada are typically routed via Montreal or Toronto. The second flight down south will be operated by Air Canada Rouge. The main difference here is the seat width – which is definitely less than what Air Canada offers.

Search & Book

These prices can be found from September to December. Minimum stay requirements are 3 days, and you could spend up to 3 months in Mexico.

Info

But you should be aware of the fact that flights with a layover in Canada require an eTA. Also, you will need an ESTA for trips via the USA.

Availability is good. You will find all connections via the calendar search function on Google Flights (instructions). Compare prices via our Travel-Dealz flight search before booking! This could save you some money compared to going directly through the carrier’s website.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

Tickets for Air Canada flights will be issued in booking class K. As a result, they will be credited with 25% to 50% of the actual miles traveled. Here’s an example for a flight to Cancún via Montreal:
