The flight leaves Brussels at 10:20, stops for 2h30 in Dublin and lands in Cancun at 19:20 the same day. The return leaves Cancun at 21:05, stops for about 6 hours in Dublin and lands in Düsseldorf at 19:50 the next day. From Düsseldorf, trains to Brussels take about 2h30-3h. Hand baggage and a checked bag are included. Ireland is outside Schengen, so carry your passport or ID card.
💰 How far does your money go?
A Belgian beer in a Brussels bar costs about €6. In Cancun, a taco al pastor from a street stand costs about €1, a cold Corona in a local bar in the city centre €3 and the ADO bus to Playa del Carmen about €6. Prices in the Hotel Zone are much higher, so eat downtown.
☀️ The Weather
Late November and early December are the start of the best season in Cancun. Expect highs of 28-29°C, nights around 21-22°C and a sea at 27°C, with the odd short shower. The hurricane season ends on 30 November.
