Cheap flights from Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP) to Cancun (CUN)

If you're a Minnesota resident looking to ditch your boots and parka for a few days, then pack your bags for a quick flight to warm, sunny Cancun, Mexico. Steeped in ancient Mayan history, Cancun is well-known for activities such as parasailing, snorkeling and golf. It's also a top choice for destination weddings. Ample parking is available at the Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport (MSP), or you can avoid the fees and travel to the airport in a bus, taxi or airport shuttle. You should expect the flight time to last around four hours, if you’re flying with stopovers you should plan for six hours plus.

Attractions

Whether you rent a car, hire a cab, or take a bus with other Yucatan visitors, it's easy to get around Cancun and the surrounding areas. Spread your towel on Playa Langosta, one of several beaches spanning 14 sandy miles of Cancun coastline. If you enjoy wildlife up close, you can swim with dolphins at Dolphin Discovery, or snorkel in the Great Mesoamerican Reef. Walking within Cancun's Hotel Zone, you can learn about the local culture at the Maya Museum and shop in the luxurious Kukulcan Plaza.

Hints and Tips

Expect weather between 70 and 90 degrees when you arrive at the Cancun International Airport (CUN). A camera, comfortable walking or hiking shoes and sunscreen are items of use, and will come in handy during your stay.
