Current Cheap Mexico Airlines

VivaAerobus

One of Mexico’s cheap airlines, VivaAerobus, services some US cities. They recently launched a new connection from Hermosillo to Las Vegas beginning March 4, 2010. There are currently only two flights per week, one on Thursday and one on Sunday.

The cheapest round-trip flight that I could find in March totaled $136.61US (inclusive of taxes). This is for VivaLight, which means that you can only have one piece of carry-on (no checked bags). For VivaRegular (checked bag), the cost would be $151.99US.

With VivaAerobus’ addition of its Las Vegas flight, it will be much cheaper to travel to Hermosillo from around the US.  Low cost US airlines such as AirTran, Southwest, JetBlue, Virgin America and Frontier Airlines are having blowout sales from cities across the US to Las Vegas. Other airlines such as American Airlines, United, Delta, Continental, and US Airways are starting to match these low airfares.

And with a Tufesa bus going directly from the Hermosillo airport to Guaymas, it’s getting cheaper and easier to get from the US and Canada to San Carlos.

VivaAerobus also flies from Hermosillo directly to Monterrey and Guadalajara. From Monterrey there are many flights to other destinations around Mexico.

Volaris

Volaris flies from Hermosillo direct to Guadalajara, Tijuana, Puebla and Toluca. Toluca is about 45 minutes west of Mexico City and is Volaris’ hub. From there, you can fly to many other locations.

InterJet

Interjet flies direct from Hermosillo to Mexico City, and from Mexico City, around the country. It also offers hotel packages.

Click

MexicanaClick is Mexicana’s cheap fare airline, based in Mexico City and servicing numerous cities throughout Mexico, Havana Cuba and Miami. A recent search revealed a round-trip flight from Miami to Cancun for 4,029 pesos (about $311 USD).

Many of these cheap airlines in Mexico quote their fares in pesos and you may want to use on online currency exchange to convert the quotes to dollars.
