When to book
Fares for the whole winter were already loaded when we searched on September 30, and the peak dates were already high: $1,262 on December 19, $1,278 on December 26, $869 on Saturday February 13 and $883 on Saturday March 27, all one-way on the nonstop. If you're travelling over Christmas, Family Day weekend or spring break, book as soon as your dates are set. For flexible travel, November to April had many $272 to $281 nonstops. Porter's route is new this winter, so there's no history yet of how its fares move; we will re-check this route and update the data.

Direct Flights from Edmonton to Cabo San Lucas vs Connecting
From November to April, direct flights from Edmonton to Cabo San Lucas were the cheapest way to fly in our data, so there's no reason to connect in winter. A connection only makes sense from May to August, when neither nonstop ran: United via Denver from $346 in May, and WestJet via Vancouver from $514 in July and August.
| Option | Typical departure (Edmonton) | Flying time | Lowest fare seen |
|---|---|---|---|
| WestJet nonstop, October to April | 6:15 or 8:15 a.m.; some 1:05 p.m. | About 4.5 to 5 hours | $272 |
| Porter nonstop, November 16 to April | 12:30 or 1:30 p.m. | About 5 hours | $281 |
| WestJet via Calgary | 7:45 a.m. | About 7 to 8 hours | $332 |
| Air Canada via Vancouver | 7:00 a.m. | About 7.5 hours | $344 |
| United via Denver | 6:00 a.m. | About 7 hours | $346 |
| WestJet via Vancouver (summer) | 6:50 a.m. | About 7.5 hours | $514 |
Schedules as listed in Nuitée's fare data for the dates we searched; departure times are Edmonton local time. We don't list arrival times because some Cabo arrival times in the data were an hour off on winter dates, so confirm them when you book.
Two things to watch on connections. Many cheap connecting itineraries in the data were long: the median WestJet connection via Calgary took over 18 hours. And a US connection (Denver) means clearing US customs and security on the way, while one through Calgary or Vancouver stays in Canada until you land in Mexico.
Baggage by fare
The two nonstop airlines bundle bags differently. Porter's Basic fare ($281) includes a carry-on but no checked bag; Standard was $346 and Flexible, with a checked bag, $420. WestJet's Ultrabasic ($272) includes neither a carry-on nor a checked bag; Econo ($445) adds a carry-on and Econoflex ($526) a checked bag. If you're travelling with a carry-on, Porter's Basic fare already covers it.
