Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Multi City

This fare allows you to book a multi-city flight, entering through Mexico City and returning through Cancun via Frankfurt with Lufthansa Discover (Lufthansa’s vacation airline) or Zurich with Edelweiss (SWISS’s vacation airline), or vice versa.

Booking this combination may require some trial and error in Google Flights, but with a few minutes of effort, you should be able to book this multi-city ticket for €588 on Lufthansa. You can also find lower prices (around €530) and other destinations (such as Guadalajara) by flying back to Europe with United or Air Canada, but you will need an ESTA for the US or an eTA for Canada, or a transit visa.

Once you find the dates on Google Flights, you can use our search form to book your multi-city tickets.

Information & Tips for Mexico

Mexico offers diverse attractions such as the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza, the beaches of Cancún and Playa del Carmen, and vibrant cities like Mexico City and Guadalajara. The currency is the Mexican peso (MXN), and credit cards are widely accepted, though cash is useful in smaller towns. Prices are generally affordable, with a wide range depending on location and type of service. The climate varies from tropical along the coasts to more temperate inland, with the dry season from November to April being the most popular time to visit.

Mexico’s transport infrastructure varies widely. In major cities like Mexico City, public transit includes a large metro system, buses, and taxis, though congestion and safety concerns can be issues. Ride-hailing apps are popular in urban areas. Between cities, long-distance buses are common, affordable, and cover most routes, while domestic flights offer faster but more expensive options. Road conditions outside major highways can be uneven, and travel times may be long.
