Last year, I found myself needing to get from London to Cabo San Lucas for a wedding in Todos Santos, and I needed to get there fast! Here’s how I navigated the trip:

Booking Your Flight

First things first: I scoured flight comparison websites like Kayak, Google Flights, and Skyscanner. If you can be flexible with your travel dates, you’ll have a much better chance of snagging a good deal.

Surprisingly, I discovered that flying via a major European hub like Madrid, Amsterdam, or Paris often yields cheaper flights. For instance, I found flights from London to Mexico City that were more affordable than direct options. Once in Mexico City, I took a domestic flight to Cabo, which was quick and reasonably priced.

Getting to Cabo San Lucas

After arriving in Mexico City, I opted for a domestic flight with a local airline like AeroMexico or Volaris. These flights are typically around $40-100 USD and incredibly convenient. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, Mexico has an excellent bus system. I’ve heard the buses are quite comfortable—think first-class seating with snacks!

Travel Tips

• Visa Requirements: Make sure to check visa requirements based on your nationality. Most travelers don’t need a visa for Mexico, but you will need a return or onward ticket.
• Safety: As a female traveler, I felt safe throughout my journey. The bus services are reliable and often have designated female seating areas.
• Booking Last Minute: If you need to book on the fly, I had success purchasing tickets at the airport for domestic flights.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, the journey from London to Cabo San Lucas is straightforward if you plan strategically. With a bit of flexibility and some savvy searching, you can make it to your destination quickly without breaking the bank. Happy travels!
