Los Cabos from Tucson, Nov 27–Dec 1: $1,862 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $626 per person round trip, $671 below the typical fare
- Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos: 8.2 from 1,523 reviews, free cancellation
- Typical highs of 82–83°F and lows near 67°F
The catch: It isn't nonstop: one stop and 5h 16m on the way out, and a checked bag runs about $160 for two that isn't in the total.
Worth it if a one-stop flight is fine for a warm, well-priced long weekend; skip it if you need nonstop or came for the whales.
Worth it if one stop doesn't bother you. Los Cabos from Tucson comes to $1,862 for two, all in: the flights at $1,252 plus Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos at $517 and its $93 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. It's 4 nights, Nov 27–Dec 1, 2026, on American (operated by Envoy Air as American Eagle), with one stop and 5h 16m on the way out.

Why now
It all starts with the fare: $626 per person round trip, $671 below the typical fare on this route, which is $1,297. That's 52% under, and it's the lowest we've seen in 30 days of checks. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $626 to $736 per person. With Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos and its $93 resort fee, the whole trip for two comes to $1,862. A checked bag and spending money are extra. The late-November weather normals are steady, with highs of 82–83°F and lows near 67°F. Most days are overcast, with one clear day. There's no time change from Tucson, so you won't lose a day to jet lag. It's a good fit for a sunny long weekend of beach time, a boat out to the arch and dinners out, at about half the usual fare.
The kind of trip this is
This is a warm beach getaway with a lively edge. Cabo San Lucas puts Médano Beach, the marina bars and boat trips within an easy walk, and you set the pace: pool and beach days, a water-taxi out to El Arco, a long dinner at a farm table. It suits couples and friends who want sun and some nightlife more than a packed schedule.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
For most travelers, yes. The fare is $626 per person, 52% under the typical $1,297, and the best-value hotel scores 8.2. The catch is one stop on the way out, with 5h 16m of travel.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It's $1,862, all in: $1,252 in flights plus Hotel Tesoro Los Cabos at $517 for 4 nights and its $93 resort fee. A checked bag runs about $160 for two, and that and spending money aren't included.
Do I need a passport?
Yes. You'll fly from Tucson International (TUS) to Los Cabos International (SJD) in Mexico, so both of you need a passport.
What is the weather like?
The normals for Nov 27–Dec 1 show highs of 82–83°F and lows of 66–68°F. Four of the five days are listed as overcast and one as clear.
What are the flight options?
All three American options we found were $626 per person with one stop. The 9:42 AM departure takes 5h 16m. The earlier ones leave at 5:13 AM (6h 59m) or 6:38 AM (6h 28m).
Will we see whales?
Probably not. Whale season runs from December to April and peaks December to February. Your trip ends Dec 1, so plan around the beaches, the arch and the boats instead.
