It’s worth considering an ATOL protected package holiday to Cancun, especially with these two airlines.
The reason being, TUI and British Airways both offer package holidays alongside the flight, and so you can book directly with them and have everything managed by the same company.
Not only does this mean you will be getting the best price by going direct, you’ll also avoid having to book through any third party or online travel agent – many of which are not reputable.
And when it comes to value, you often get a much better deal when your holiday is packaged together.
Besides, the final price will include your flights, hotel, full baggage allowance and transfers!
And keep an eye on your hotel’s board type, it may be worth upgrading to an all inclusive for example if you want to save on spends when you get there.
As illustrated above, there are a good range of UK airports that fly directly to Cancun.
The most frequent flights depart from London Gatwick Airport, with both TUI and British Airways operating this route.
The average flight time from the UK is around 10 hours.
We’ve compiled this information using flight aggregator tools such as Google Flights, whilst cross-checking these flight schedules directly with the airlines and travel companies mentioned above.
To accomplish this to a high degree of accuracy, I’m regularly checking flight schedules and relevant news stories from a range of sources, and have great experience in doing so for many different routes.
