Flights from Mérida to Miami during the Christmas season tend to be more expensive due to the high influx of passengers. The Mérida International Airport sees an increase in flights during the holiday season, with Miami, Florida being one of the busiest international destinations.
Increased Rates and Reduced Capacity
During Christmas and New Year’s, flight rates generally increase for all destinations. Additionally, the number of flights is often reduced due to the holidays, resulting in less capacity for passengers. To avoid the high influx of passengers and secure better rates, it is recommended to travel one or two days before these holidays.
Example Flight Costs
For instance, a round-trip flight from Mérida to Miami, departing on Monday, December 23, and returning on Thursday, December 26, costs between $7,212 and $15,730 pesos per person. These flights typically depart from Mérida to the Mexico City International Airport before heading to Miami, with an estimated total travel time of nearly six hours.
