London to Cancun flight FAQs
Flights from London to Cancun take approximately 10 hours and 30 minutes.
Cancun is a brilliant choice for affordable winter sun, but the cheapest flights are usually found in September and October. This is Mexico’s rainy, or hurricane season. But showers are typically short and temperatures remain high. September is also when Mexico’s Independence Day celebrations take place, with parades, festivals and parties across the country. Use our low fare finder to find the cheapest time to visit.
You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance.
