Cheap flights from Houston to Cancun
Your trip from Houston to Cancun might be for business or for beaches, but either way, it will provide spectacular views over the Caribbean Sea, tropical warm weather and a laid-back coastal lifestyle. Start your journey by traveling by car, taxi, bus or Amtrak to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Then, settle in for the short flight to Cancun, which takes approximately two hours.
Attractions
Cancun is generally divided into two main districts. The first, called the hotel zone, is along the coast and is where you'll find the biggest resorts, beaches like Playa Caracol and Playa Linda, piers and marinas for fishing and scuba diving charters, and local markets.
A mile inland, and you'll reach El Centro, the downtown area of Cancun where most residents call home. It is in El Centro that you can experience a more authentic version of Cancun and spend time in the Parque de las Palapas, considered to be the heart of the city.
Hints and Tips
Most travelers arrive at the Cancún International Airport (CUN), which is just six miles from the hotel zone. You can take a taxi or the bus, but most hotels will arrange transport in advance if you let them know your flight. Day trips to Tulum or Isla Mujeres are a popular option for visitors.
