I found the fare to be $430 including taxes out of MSP if you depart on 1/12/2005 and return 1/19/2005 (Sun Country).

the booking engine I used was Ontheflytravel

i see that there are good links for websites to find flights out of Minneapolis (sp?) , but do you know of any good ones for Boston or Massachusetts?

We Fly From Mpls Each Jan. Last Jan 530.00 Bought In October. The Price Didnt Change Up To The Day Of Departure. I Highly Recomend The Direct Northwest Flight Right Now 550.00. Departure Times Are Perfect For Holiday. Noon Dep From Cancun To Home Is Key. No Charter B.s. With 4am Crap.

i guess i answered my own question....

i started following the links from everyone and found a great site called www.onetravel.com.

after looking and looking, i found round trip out of Boston's Logan Airport for 12 days between May and June for between $515 - $620 with only one layover/plane change, usually one to three hours between......

then i kept looking becuase that wasn't good enough, and i found the same days, better times, (early departure from logan, late departure from cancun) with one layover of 48 minutes with no plane change for $410.....
i couldn't believe it, i had to book it right away, so i did....
guess i'll be seeing some of you in May....lol

I'm going to follow up with bestfares.com. I'm looking at a base (before taxes) rate of $198.00 out of Providence RI to Cancun for my upcoming visit in September.

Michele,

i did find that same price out of providence, which is just as accessable for me as Logan is...

only problem is that in order to get that rate, you have to complete your travel by certain dates...that one was december 11, 04. (i think)
i'll keep checking that site though, because they did have some good prices.

what kind of fees/taxes do they charge to fly to mexico? i've only flown within the US and don't remember....

It seems to vary. I've flown into Cancun 3 times in the past 6 months and I still can't make sense of it. If you call the number they list tomorrow, they can give a total cost before you buy. I'll be doing the same!
