Methodology: learn how we calculate these figures

The best day to fly and how far ahead to book shown in this table are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights to this destination over the past 12 months or more.

Where a route has too few bookings to fill a figure, we borrow the shape from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on that route.

Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches.

The cheapest round-trip and one-way fares, the good-deal price and the best time of day to fly come directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from New Orleans to Mexico.

When is the cheapest time to fly from New Orleans to Mexico?

Flights from New Orleans to Cancún are cheapest in February, January, and September, with the very lowest fares in early February. The priciest months are June and December, peaking in late December.

Methodology

These seasonal fares look at the busiest city-to-city routes between the two places (up to four, chosen by scheduled flights) and at the seasonal fare curve Priceline's own archive provides for each route. Months are ranked by how far each month's average fare sits above or below that route's yearly average, taking the middle value across the routes, so one expensive route cannot dominate.

How far in advance should I book flights from New Orleans to Mexico?

For flights from New Orleans to Mexico, the best booking window is 4 weeks before departure, based on the New Orleans–Cancún city pair. Fares rise when booking very early, with the priciest lead time at 180 days out.

Methodology

This booking-window guidance looks at the busiest city-to-city routes between the two places (up to four, chosen by scheduled flights) and at the booking-window fare curve Priceline's own archive provides for each route. The best time to book is the middle value of those routes' cheapest lead times.

What are the most popular cities to visit in Mexico?

From New Orleans, the most popular Mexican cities are Cancun for beaches and resorts, Mexico City for culture and food, and Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta for regional charm and Pacific coast access. Merida is also a strong choice for colonial history and proximity to Mayan sites.

When is the best time of year to visit Mexico?

For Mexico, late October to April is the best window for most regions, with dry, mild weather in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Oaxaca. Coastal areas like Cancún and Los Cabos are also at their most comfortable from November through March. Summer is hot, humid and busy in beach destinations, while spring and autumn offer fewer crowds and lower fares on many routes from New Orleans.

How do I get to Louis Armstrong Intl Airport from the city center?

From downtown New Orleans, the most popular ways to reach Louis Armstrong International Airport are ride-share apps like Uber, which pick up curbside and take about 20 to 30 minutes, and taxis, which offer a flat rate to the Central Business District or French Quarter. Public transit is the cheapest option, with Jefferson Transit and RTA buses running from the airport to downtown. Several hotel and off-airport parking shuttles also operate from the Ground Transportation Center, and driving yourself is straightforward with short-term, long-term, and economy garages available at the airport. Ride-share or a taxi is generally fastest and most convenient, while the bus is the most budget-friendly.
