Los Cabos from El Paso, Nov 14–21: $1,991 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $599 per person, $140 below the typical fare on this route
- Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas: 8.9 from 590 reviews, free cancellation
- Typical highs of 82–87°F for Médano Beach and Chileno Bay
The catch: With 2 stops it's 41h 15m of total travel time, you land at 10:45 AM on Nov 15, and a checked bag is about $240 for two.
Worth it if you want a warm beach week at a fare below typical and can sleep through layovers; skip it if long travel days wear you out.
Worth it if you can live with two stops: $1,991 for two covers the flights at $1,198 plus 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas at $687 and its $106 property fee, with taxes and fees included. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 and come back from Los Cabos on Nov 21, 2026, flying F9 + AS with 2 stops, so it isn't nonstop. A checked bag and spending money aren't included.

Why now
The fare is $599 per person, which is $140 below the typical fare on this route. That's based on 22 earlier checks, with a median of $739. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $599 to $707. For these dates, Los Cabos has typical highs of 82–87°F and lows near 68°F, warm enough for Médano Beach and snorkeling at Chileno Bay. The Bisbee's marlin tournament fills the marina in October, and whale season doesn't start until December, so this week is about the beach, the boats and the food. With Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas, the all-in total for two is $1,991. If you budget $130 per person a day for spending, the week comes to $3,705. These are the prices we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
A beach-and-boats week for two. Think mornings on the sand at Médano Beach, a water-taxi out to El Arco, snorkeling in the coves and long farm-to-table dinners. It suits couples and friends who want warm water and an easy pace, with bars close by in Cabo San Lucas when you want them and quiet when you don't. The travel days are long, so it works best when you have the whole week.
