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 Quintana Roo.
When is the cheapest time to fly from New Orleans to Quintana Roo?
The cheapest time to fly from New Orleans to Quintana Roo is typically late spring and fall, especially May, September and October, when demand softens. Aim for Tuesday and Wednesday departures, and choose early-morning or late-night flights. Avoid Christmas, New Year's, spring break and summer school holidays, when prices climb.
How far in advance should I book flights from New Orleans to Quintana Roo?
Book 4 to 8 weeks ahead for winter and school break travel, but 2 to 4 weeks is usually enough for late spring and fall shoulder dates.
What are the most popular areas to visit in Quintana Roo and how does that affect where I should fly?
In Quintana Roo, Cancún is the main gateway for hotel zone beaches and nightlife, Playa del Carmen and Tulum attract travellers seeking beach clubs, cenotes and ruins, and Cozumel is chosen for diving and a quieter island stay. Fly into Cancún International for Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Tulum, while Cozumel International serves the island directly. Choosing Cancún gives more flight options and lower fares, while Cozumel saves ferry time if you stay only on the island.
Which airports in Quintana Roo are best to fly into from New Orleans?
Cancún International is the main gateway for Quintana Roo and receives the most flights from New Orleans, usually via connecting hubs. It is the best choice for the Hotel Zone, Isla Mujeres and most all-inclusive resorts. The newer Tulum airport serves the southern Riviera Maya and is a good option if you are staying near Tulum or heading toward the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. Cozumel has its own airport but is mainly reached by ferry from Playa del Carmen, so flying into Cancún and taking ground transport is often more practical.
