November to April · Los Cabos and the Riviera Maya, Mexico
Private jet charter to Cabo San Lucas and Cancún
From Houston and Dallas, Cabo and Cancún are the easiest international trips there are: under three hours, private customs on arrival, and more operators competing on the route than almost anywhere else, which keeps prices honest. Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring break are the weeks to book early.

Round-trip estimates for the recommended category with the aircraft waiting, before taxes, catering and event-week surcharges. Big-event weekends can run 15–30% above these numbers because every aircraft is spoken for; booking early is the whole game.
Getting in and out
Los Cabos International (SJD) has a dedicated FBO terminal where Mexican customs and immigration clear you on arrival in minutes. Passports for everyone; the operator files the manifest. Returning to the US you clear at your home FBO with a Customs officer meeting the aircraft. A super-midsize covers eight passengers and the golf clubs; a heavy makes sense from twelve or when the aircraft stays the week.
- Cabo San Lucas International Airport (MMSL) — Cabo San Lucas International, closer to the marina, smaller aircraft only.
- Cancún International Airport (MMUN) — Cancún International, for the Riviera Maya, Tulum and Isla Mujeres.
- Puerto Vallarta International Airport (MMPR) — Puerto Vallarta, the Pacific alternative from Texas.
Questions
How far in advance should I book a private jet for Cabo & Cancún winter escapes?
For marquee events, four to eight weeks ahead gives you aircraft choice and sane positioning costs; inside two weeks we can still fly you, but slots, parking and crew duty limits start deciding for you.
Who operates the flight?
An FAA Part 135 certificated carrier we have vetted, named to you before you accept the quote. ENG Aviation Group holds the same certificate for its own fleet, so the vetting is done by operators, not resellers.
