Tulum has become Mexico’s “it” destination — and with good reason.
A brand-new airport, located just 20 miles from the city, now offers visitors easy access to incredible Mayan ruins nestled on white-sand beaches, electric nightclubs and a bevy of fine dining options. With the addition of Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport (TQO), American travelers have even more incentive to book a trip since several domestic airlines have launched service to this newly opened airport.
If you feel like making the journey to the Yucatan Peninsula in style, a new Delta Air Lines sale gives you the chance to snag round-trip, business-class tickets with fares starting as low as $545 from more than a dozen departure cities in the U.S.
The travel window is also fairly wide. Discounted business-class seats are available from now until March 2025. Note that most options involve a layover, though there are a few nonstop options.
