When to book
Fares for the whole winter were already loaded when we searched on September 30, and the peak dates were already high: $932 on December 19, $1,557 on December 26, $953 on Saturday February 13 and $841 on Saturday March 13, all one-way on the nonstop. If you're travelling over Christmas or spring break, book as soon as your dates are set. For flexible travel, late November to April on a Monday, Wednesday or Saturday had the most $341 to $369 nonstops. Porter's route is new this winter, so there's no history yet of how its fares move closer to departure; we will re-check this route and update the data.

Direct Flights from Toronto to Cabo San Lucas vs Connecting
In winter, direct flights from Toronto to Cabo San Lucas are also the cheapest way to fly: Porter's nonstop fares were the lowest in our data, and the fastest connection, United via Houston, took about 7 hours 20 minutes from $402. A connection makes sense from May to August, when there was no nonstop, or on dates when Porter doesn't fly and Air Canada is expensive.
| Option | Typical departure (Toronto) | Flying time | Lowest fare seen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porter nonstop, November 16 to April | 7:55 or 8:00 a.m.; some 12:20 p.m. | About 5 hours 45 minutes | $341 |
| Air Canada nonstop, November to April | 10:00 a.m.; some 11:15 a.m. | About 5 hours 45 minutes | $375 |
| United via Houston or Chicago | 6:10 or 7:00 a.m. | About 7.5 hours | $402 |
| American via Dallas or Charlotte | 6:00 to 6:45 a.m. | About 8 hours | $428 |
| United via Denver (summer) | 8:15 a.m. | About 8.5 hours | $472 |
| Delta via Atlanta | Varies | From about 7 hours 50 minutes | $699 |
| Porter via Edmonton | 9:05 a.m. | About 10.5 hours | $352 |
Schedules as listed in Nuitée's fare data for the dates we searched; departure times are Toronto 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 (Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Charlotte, Denver) means clearing US customs and security on the way, while Porter via Edmonton or WestJet via Calgary stays in Canada until you land in Mexico.
Baggage by fare
The two nonstop airlines bundle bags differently. Porter's Basic fare ($341 on November 21) includes a carry-on but no checked bag; Standard was $406 and Flexible, with a checked bag, $482. Air Canada's Basic ($375 on January 11) includes neither a carry-on nor a checked bag; Standard ($451) adds a carry-on and Flex ($531) a checked bag. If you travel with only a carry-on, Porter's Basic fare already covers it.
