Flights to Cabo San Lucas

Cabo is served by nonstops from western Canada, Toronto and many large US cities, with several Canadian routes flying in winter only. Here is what applies whichever city you fly from; the route pages above have the detail for each one.

Where do flights to Cabo land?

Cabo San Lucas has no commercial airport of its own. Flights to "Cabo" and flights to "Los Cabos" are the same flights, landing at Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), just north of San José del Cabo and about 50 kilometres from Cabo San Lucas.

Every city in the directory above had at least one nonstop, based on schedules and flight data checked in September 2026. Seasonal routes and frequencies can change, and several are seasonal:

• Winter only: the Toronto nonstops (Porter and Air Canada) ran late October to April, and the Edmonton nonstops from October (WestJet) or November 16 (Porter) to April. Air Canada's Vancouver nonstop also ran late October to April, while WestJet's flew all year.
• Reduced in summer: WestJet's Calgary nonstop ran on weekends only in summer.
• Outside our fare data: Southwest flies nonstop from Phoenix, Houston Hobby and, on weekends, Denver, but its fares aren't in the data we search. Aeromexico also sells seats on Delta's flights, and Delta's Seattle nonstop resumes November 9, 2026.

How long is the flight to Cabo?

Our route pages compare live fares and analyse fares across the year, sampled from each route's own flight data, to find the cheaper months, days of the week and nonstop options. Three patterns held across the routes:

• The day can matter more than the month. From Edmonton in mid-January, Porter's Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nonstops were $281 CAD one-way, while the Thursday of the same week was $647.
• A one-stop can beat the nonstop. From Phoenix, one-stops via San Diego started at $236 USD against a $380 nonstop, and from Dallas at $323 against $451.
• Summer is thinner from Canada. Toronto and Edmonton had no nonstop from May to August, and Calgary's summer nonstops ran on weekends only, so summer fares from those cities were higher.

The cheapest fares we found on each route:

The drive from SJD down the Tourist Corridor to Cabo San Lucas takes about 40 to 50 minutes. Private transfers start around $99 per vehicle, shared shuttles cost about $36 to $43 per person round-trip, and airport taxis commonly charge $80 to $100. Rideshare pickups at SJD are restricted, so arrange your ride before you land: our Los Cabos airport transfer guide compares the options, and hotels near Los Cabos airport covers late arrivals.
