Los Cabos Now Has 600+ Weekly Flights — What That Means For Your Next Airfare Hunt

Share The Article

We’ve been tracking a big shift at the airport—and it’s great news for your wallet.

Los Cabos now counts 600+ weekly flights, including 330 from 32 U.S. cities, thanks to fresh routes and a major push by the tourism board.

Here’s what that means for your next airfare hunt—and how to use the new connectivity to your advantage.

More seats = more competition (and better odds of a deal)

Airfare is a supply-and-demand game. When airlines add capacity, price pressure usually eases—especially on popular corridors where multiple carriers compete.

Los Cabos added nine new nonstop routes for 2025 across the U.S., Canada, and Panama, narrowing the number of cities that require a connection and creating more head-to-head competition on key days. If you’ve been waiting for a nudge to lock in that winter escape, this is it.

Watch the “gateway” effect—Panama opens the south

The single biggest connectivity story isn’t just more U.S. service—it’s Copa Airlines linking Los Cabos with Panama City’s “Hub of the Americas.”

Even if you’re U.S.-based, this matters: one-stop access from dozens of South American and Caribbean cities raises overall demand and adds seats into SJD, which can stabilize prices on traditionally expensive dates.

For travelers connecting from the southeast U.S., some itineraries via PTY could also be time-competitive with domestic connections.

Expect a busy (but bookable) peak season

All those extra flights are arriving just in time: Los Cabos is headed for another record high season. Translation: sale fares still appear—but they don’t linger.

Our recent coverage breaks down why popular weeks (late December, Presidents’ Day, spring break) sell out like a stadium concert and how to plan around it. If Cabo is on your winter wish list, start tracking fares now and pounce when a mid-week price dips below your target.

Your tactical booking playbook

1) Fly mid-week, not just “book on Tuesday.”

Data consistently shows Tuesday and Wednesday travel days price lower than weekends. Shifting your outbound by even 24 hours can shave double-digits off the fare. Forget the old myth about the day you book; focus on the day you fly.

2) Compare overlapping metros.

In cities with multiple airports, competition keeps fares honest. For Los Angeles travelers, for example, checking LAX and neighboring options can pay off. We’ve seen the same effect in other U.S. gateways feeding Cabo.

3) Mind the new (and seasonal) schedules.

Some 2025 additions are once-weekly or winter-only—great for price, tricky for flexibility. Frontier’s ATL–SJD and LAS–SJD launches, for instance, operate weekly around the holidays. Limited frequencies sell out faster, so set price alerts early.

4) Lock peak weeks earlier than you think.

Our advice hasn’t changed: for the busiest weeks, don’t wait for “90 days out.” Shop earlier, watch for dips, and hold a backup using a free-cancellation hotel rate so you’re not starting from zero if a fare pops. We explained the timing in our recent peak-season primer.

5) Use new routes as leverage—even if you won’t fly them.

When a new nonstop launches from City A, fares can soften from City B because airlines know you have options. Keep an eye on our route roundups (and even 2026 pipeline chatter) to time your purchase windows.

Why all this lift now?

Los Cabos is in the middle of a luxury surge—think Park Hyatt Los Cabos opening reservations and other ultra-luxe brands stacking up behind it—which draws high-spend travelers and the meetings/conventions crowd.

Airlines follow sustained demand, and the MICE calendar plus banner hotel debuts are exactly the kind of anchors carriers like to see before adding seats.

Bottom line

More flights don’t guarantee a rock-bottom fare—but they give you more chances to catch one.

Fly mid-week, compare nearby airports, watch those new-route schedules, and move early for holiday/spring-break weeks. And keep it locked here—we at The Cabo Sun will keep surfacing the newest routes, the cheapest travel days, and the hotel openings that are shaping the 2025–26 season.
