Los Cabos from Albany, Nov 14–21: $2,257 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $252 per person below the highest fare we saw for these dates
- Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas: 8.9 from 590 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 82–87°F and swimmable Médano Beach in Cabo San Lucas
The catch: The fare makes 2 stops, 17h 36m overnight from Albany, and a checked bag, about $160 for two, isn't in the total.
Worth it if you can sleep through a long overnight connection for a warm week by the water; skip it if you only fly nonstop.
Worth it if you don't mind a long connection: $2,257 for two covers round-trip flights at $1,464, 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas at $687 and its $106 in property fees, taxes and fees included. The trip runs Nov 14–21, 2026 on American (operated by SkyWest Airlines as American Eagle), and it isn't nonstop: the outbound has 2 stops. A checked bag and spending money are extra.

Why now
The fare we found is $732 per person, $1,464 for two, and that's $252 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a gap of 26%. We checked 12 offers for this week before picking this one. Mid-November in Los Cabos averages highs of 82–87°F and lows near 68°F, so you get a full week of warm beach days. The October marlin tournament is over by then and whale season doesn't start until December, so this week is about the water itself: Médano Beach, a water-taxi to El Arco, snorkeling at Chileno Bay. All three hotels we picked list free cancellation, which leaves you room to change plans. Prices were all-in when we checked and can move, so look at the live fare before you decide.
The kind of trip this is
This is a warm beach week with a lively side. You'd spend the days at Médano Beach, on boat trips out of the marina and snorkeling in the bays, and the evenings at bars in Cabo San Lucas or a farm-to-table dinner. It suits a couple or two friends who want sun at an easy pace, with a night out or two. Seven nights also leaves time to recover from the long flight.
