It just got easier to visit resorts on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. U.S. airlines began flights to the new airport in Tulum, and more service is planned for the area in the coming months.
The new flights mean visitors to the broader Cancún area can bypass the main airport and save on travel time to resorts and other attractions in Riviera Maya. Tulum’s Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport officially opened in December and service has been ramping up since.
American Airlines and Delta Air Lines are all starting flights on Thursday, with United and JetBlue planning to begin service to the airport soon, and Spirit also planning to fly there down the road.
United Airlines flights to Tulum
United will inaugurate service from Newark, Chicago and Houston to Tulum beginning March 31. The airline will also add a daily round-trip from Los Angeles to Tulum for the summer, beginning May 23.
JetBlue flights to Tulum
JetBlue will begin daily nonstop service between New York (JFK) and Tulum on June 13.
American Airlines flights to Tulum
American will offer two daily flights between Dallas and Tulum, and one daily round-trip from both Charlotte and Miami. Service from all three cities starts Thursday.
Delta Air Lines flights to Tulum
Delta will offer a daily round trip from its Atlanta hub starting Thursday.
Spirit Airlines flights to Tulum
Spirit will begin daily round-trip service to Tulum from Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, but has not announced the date for that service to start. It was initially planning to serve the airport beginning Thursday, but reportedly does not have the equipment to support that service yet.
