We searched every Tuesday and Saturday from October 2026 to August 2027 plus full weeks in November, January, March and July, so other weekdays in the remaining months may be cheaper than shown. Delta paused this route last summer, so its summer 2027 schedule could change.

Direct Flights from Seattle to Cabo San Lucas vs Connecting
From Seattle, direct flights to Cabo San Lucas are almost always the better buy: the cheapest one-stop fares ($206) came within $3 of the nonstop and took about 2 hours longer. The one exception was April to August, when Alaska via Los Angeles ran from $266 against $324 on the nonstop, about $58 saved for roughly 2 extra hours.
| Option | Typical departure (Seattle) | Flying time | Lowest fare seen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delta nonstop (also sold by Aeromexico), from November 9 | 9:25 to 9:50 a.m.; some 7:30 or 10:35 a.m. | About 4 hours 15 minutes | $203 |
| Alaska nonstop, all year | Several between about 7:15 and 11:40 a.m. | About 4 hours 25 to 35 minutes | $206 |
| Delta via Salt Lake City or Los Angeles (sold by Aeromexico) | 5:30 or 7:15 a.m. | About 6.5 to 7 hours | $206 |

| United via Denver | 5:05 a.m. | About 7 hours | $260 |
Schedules as listed in Nuitée's fare data for the dates we searched; departure times are Seattle 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.
Every connection stays inside the US until you land in Mexico, so there's no extra customs stop on the way. The catch is time: the median Alaska connection via Los Angeles took over 14 hours, so check the layover before you book a cheap one-stop.
Baggage by fare
No economy fare on either nonstop in our data included a checked bag. On the Delta flight sold by Aeromexico, Básica ($203 on December 5) includes a carry-on, and Clásica ($261) and Flex ($330) add flexibility but still no checked bag. On Alaska, Saver ($206 on January 2) and Main ($266) include a carry-on only, and Delta's own Main Basic ($206) and Comfort fares are the same. Checked bags came only with first-class and premium fares, so budget for the airline's bag fee if you're checking a bag.
