Hi guys, because of the child situation, it’s been several years since my wife and I have been to Mexico.

I’m wondering what people are using these days to book reasonable deal packages?

I think the last time I booked was through Expedia and while there had several friends tell me their package was considerably cheaper than what I booked for the same thing.

Any recommendations?

Volaris has the cheapest flights. I don't know about packages, usually book everything separately as I find better deals going directly to the hotels website.

I have only booked flights.

From Palm Beach it's American to Dallas then Dallas to San Jose del Cabo.

From SFO I have flown Alaska. From San Jose I think it was American.

I book flights on the airline websites.

You'll need a car, unless your plan is to get a ride to your hotel downtown and spend your time partying at the Cabo Wabo and Hard Rock Cafe.

I like the east coast north of Cabo. I have stayed at a cool little town called Los Barillas. La Paz is also very cool. Cabo is a place to land, not a place to stay. Check out VRBO; we had a cool little casita near the beach for $50 a night.

If you like windsurfing, fishing, mountain biking, whale watching, kayaking, off-roading, and really good food, you will not be disappointed in Baja. You need a car. I never drove at night but it was very safe to drive in the day time.

Nice people, good food and beer, reasonable prices, I love Mexico.

To clarify, when I said Volaris is the cheapest, I meant if flying from inside Mexico. I'm not sure how good a deal it is from the States.

Also, assume you're aware Los Cabos is where the planes land, and Cabo San Lucas is about another 30-45 min drive. My info is 15 years old, but if it's still the same, you can do a 30 minute timeshare presentation and get your ride from the airport comped, as well as an activity, we took four-wheeling. It was zero pressure, we said no, and the guy was like "Ok".

I'm gonna come across as harsh. NEVER do a timeshare sales pitch. It's fine you said no and they moved on. That's the worst advice though. Pay the $100 RT for a private transfer. If you can't do that you shouldn't be traveling. Just drive down there at that point and enjoy and not sit through a shit show. I've done one. Never again.

There are easier hacks to make traveling cheap AF. Time share presentations and enjoying yourself ain't one of them. You can fly to Mexico for free on Southwest if you're disciplined with a CC. And your spouse can fly for free, based on basic daily expenses. I get debt is hated here, but you guys are losing out. I'd just live in a cheaper area. Living expenses are worse than debt. You're making someone else a millionaire. Pay the CC off and they make no money. It's a good thing. Haven't paid for a flight nearing a decade.

I'd recommend not going to a shithole country like Mexico.
