Flight to Cabo San Lucas - What You Need to Know

Your flight to Cabo San Lucas ...

... is the starting-point for your trip. As seasoned Los Cabos travelers, my husband and children and I try to set the mood for our vacation by relaxing and having fun together at the airport, even though everyone else seems stressed. This starts our trip out right, but in order for this to happen, you have to be prepared, plan ahead and be willing to consider some of our suggestions. After all, we are veteran Cabo San Lucas travelers.

In order to book your flight, you'll need the airport code which is SJD (Los Cabos International Airport). Since Baja California Sur has become a popular tourist destination, you'll find that there are many flights on various airlines to suit your needs. Book your flight to Cabo San Lucas with our favorite online travel site to make things fast and easy. It's the one we use to book our yearly trip.

Although ten years ago, it was okay to travel with just your birth certificate, in today's security-conscious world, we recommend a passport. If your passport is expired or if you need to get one quickly for your children, we recommend that you get your passport online

Many travelers prefer an all-inclusive travel package, so all the costs are covered upfront. If this is your first trip to Cabo, this is a good way to go. This way, you can relax and enjoy your trip to its fullest.

Forgot to bring some pesos? At the SJD airport, there is
a money exchange booth near the customs line. I was reprimanded for taking this photo, since you're not allowed to take photos in Customs.


Make sure your luggage is in good shape. There's nothing worse than having a bag arrive with a broken zipper. I remember one year, a woman's suitcase arrived broken and her undergarments were spilled all over the baggage rounder. It went around a few times around before she identified her things. I felt bad for her as she stooped to pick up her panties amidst the sound of barely suppressed giggles.



If you are making your travel plans directly and must stick to a strict budget, then you'll want to compare costs. You can look up the cost of a ticket for each airline that has a flight to Cabo San Lucas or you use our favorite budget travel site that we recommend to those who want to travel for less.

If you want to book a flight to Cabo San Lucas directly, you can contact the following airlines (be advised that you'll get less expensive flights by booking your airfare online. Just use the link above): Aero California (service from Phoenix and L.A.), Aeromexico (service from San Diego, Ontario and L.A.), Alaska Airlines (service from L.A., San Francisco, San Jose, Portland, Seattle, Alaska and San Diego), America West (offers service from Phoenix), American Airlines (service from Dallas, L.A., Chicago), Continental (service from Newark and Houston), Delta Airlines (service from Atlanta) and Mexicana (service from L.A. and Denver).

At this writing, the airport tax for SJD was about $60 per person. Make sure the airline adds this to your ticket price when you book your flight to Cabo San Lucas because it will save you from the embarrassment of not having enough cash left at the end of your vacation to pay the airport tax.

The Baja cities that are easily accessible from the Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Cabos are San Jose Del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, Todos Santos, Buena Vista and Cabo Pulmo. If your destination is La Paz, use their airport, as La Paz is about a two-hour trip from Cabo.

On the day of your travel, make sure to arrive at the airport early to minimize your chances of getting bumped. As airlines try to save costs by overbooking flights, this is becoming increasingly more common.
