Cheap flights from Washington DC to Cancun
Located in Chantilly, VA, Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is just 26 miles from downtown D.C. The airport is easily accessed from I-66 and I-95, and travelers can also take advantage of the Metrorail System and local taxi service.
Nonstop flights from IAD to Cancun International Airport (CUN) last about four hours, but most flights feature one layover, so you can expect the trip to last anywhere from six to 15 hours. Once you arrive in Cancun, you can arrange a hotel transfer with the airport’s guaranteed 24-hour transportation services, or use the public bus system.
