The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $423 per person, $120 below the typical fare on this route
- Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas: 9 from 588 reviews, free cancellation
- Typical highs of 82–87°F for a week of beach time
The catch: It's one stop, not nonstop, with 11h 42m of listed flight time, and resort fees and a checked bag are not in the total.
Worth it if you want a warm, easygoing beach week for two at a fair fare; skip it if you need a nonstop or whale season.
Worth it if one stop doesn't bother you: the trip is $1,522 for two, all in. That's the flights at $846 plus 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas at $676, taxes and fees included, but not resort fees, a checked bag or spending money. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 and fly home Saturday, Nov 21, 2026, on Y4 (Volaris) with one stop, not nonstop.

Why now
The fare is the reason to look now: $423 per person, $120 below the typical fare on this route of $543, or 22% less, with taxes and fees included when we found it. That puts the whole trip at $1,522 for two with 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money come on top. Mid-November in Los Cabos usually brings highs of 82–87°F and lows near 68°F, with mostly overcast days in the averages, so it's warm enough to spend every day by the water. Humpback whale season doesn't start until December, so this is a week for beaches, snorkeling and food, not a whale trip. Prices move, and this is the price we found, not a promise that it will hold.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-food week for two, at whatever pace you set. Spend the mornings in the water at Chileno Bay or Santa María Bay, take a boat out of the marina, linger over dinners at the farm-to-table places and go out at night in Cabo San Lucas if you feel like it. It suits couples and friends who want sunshine and a little nightlife more than a packed schedule.
