If there is any big travel news in Austin lately, it’s the super-cheap, VivaAerobus non-stop flights to Mexico starting May 1. VivaAerobus will fly from Austin to Cancun and Monterrey, Mexico. A flight over a three-day weekend costs a shocking $49!
With the U.S. dollar so low compared to other international currencies, a low-cost, carefree trip to Mexico is within reach of many students who might otherwise not be able to afford to leave the country. A weekend flight to New York City runs about $340 and the same weekend flight to London costs between $1,300 and $1,800. Ok, why anyone would go to London for three days is beyond me, but for the sake of comparison, Mexico is obviously a sound travel option for the money.
So brush up on your Spanish, pack comfortable shoes to peruse the museums and plaza in Monterrey and sunscreen to bask on the beach in Cancun. For more information check out http://www.vivaaerobus.com.
