Absurdly Cheap Flights to Cancun

Now that all the Spring Break partying is over and the college kids have gone home to chug beer in their dorms, Cancun is the place to go for bargain travelers or for those looking to get a head start on their summer tans. Like any other popular tourist destination, Cancun is not perfect. In fact, it can be downright cheesy. But cheesy can be a good thing. Sometimes you need to go to the museum. Sometimes you need to watch an Adam Sandler movie. Cancun is a Sandler movie.

The purveyor of Cancun bargains this week is Spirit Airlines, which will fly you from Fort Lauderdale to Cancun for $79 one way. Why someone who lives in a sunny part of Florida would want to depart for and equally sunny part of Mexico is a question for another day. The fact is that the cheap flights are also available from any number of the east coast cities where Spirit flies.

The hotel deals in Cancun are equally tasty this time of year with some of them practically begging for your business. Just make sure you look under your bed when you check in. You might find a passed out college kid.
