Los Cabos from Norfolk, Nov 14–21: $2,092 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas: 8.9 from 590 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 82–87°F and lows near 68°F for the week
- Thursday, Nov 19 lines up with the San José del Cabo Art Walk
The catch: The $650 fare has 3 stops and 54h 14m of travel across both directions, and a checked bag adds about $240 for two.
Worth it if you can give up a full day each way to layovers; skip it if you want the week on the beach, not in airports.

Why now
At $650 per person, the fare is $4 above the $646 median of our earlier checks on this route, and some of those checks came in at $607. The price is close to normal. The routing is what sinks it: 3 stops on F9 + Y4 + VB. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 at 3:56 PM and land Sunday, Nov 15 at 4:10 PM. Coming home, you leave Nov 21 at 11:29 AM and land Nov 22 at 5:29 PM. The American option we found has 2 stops and takes 17h 31m on the way down, at $679 per person, or $1,358 for two. The weather makes a good case for going, with typical highs of 82–87°F. Whale season doesn't start until December, though, so this week is for beaches and food. We'd keep an eye on this fare and wait for better connections.
The kind of trip this is
This is a beach-and-food week at the lively end of Baja: the swimmable Médano Beach, boat trips out of the marina, bars after dark and farm-to-table dinners. It suits a couple or two friends who like warm days and an easy pace, with room for one day on the water. The weather normals show overcast skies for most of the week, so expect it to be warm more than postcard-blue.

It's $2,092 for two, all in: $1,299 for the flights, $687 for 7 nights at Lumina at Cardinal Cabo San Lucas and $106 in fees at the property, with taxes included. A checked bag (about $240 for two) and spending money are extra. These are the prices when we checked, and they can change.
Do I need a passport?

What is the weather like?
Based on weather normals for these dates, highs run 82–87°F with lows near 68°F. Most days show overcast skies, and Nov 20 is partly cloudy.
Is there a faster flight?
We found an American option with 2 stops that takes 17h 31m on the way down. It leaves Saturday, Nov 14 at 7:21 PM and lands Sunday, Nov 15 at 10:52 AM. It costs $679 per person, or $1,358 for two.
