Edelweiss flights booked through SWISS
Although the flights may appear with SWISS flight numbers, the aircraft and onboard service are provided by Edelweiss.
Edelweiss is a leisure airline offering a full-service long-haul experience. The fare includes checked baggage, while meals, drinks and onboard entertainment are normally available on the long-haul flights.
Check the operating airline, aircraft, seat-selection conditions, cabin-baggage allowance and meal information on the final booking page.
Why this is a good deal
The main advantage is the direct routing. Passengers travel between Switzerland and Mexico without changing aircraft, passing through a US airport or worrying about a missed connection.
The example schedule is also convenient. The outbound flight arrives in Cancún during the early evening, while the return leaves at 19:55, allowing travellers to use most of their final day in Mexico.
A return price from approximately CHF 712 is competitive for a direct long-haul flight with 23 kg of checked baggage included.
Where to stay in Cancún
Cancún offers everything from budget apartments and simple hotels to luxury beachfront and all-inclusive resorts.
All-inclusive accommodation can start from approximately CHF 200 per room per night, although prices may be considerably higher during Christmas and school-holiday periods.
Before booking a resort, check whether the price includes meals, drinks, entertainment, taxes and resort charges. It is also worth comparing recent reviews, beach access, room condition and cancellation rules.
