Spring Break might feel far off, but trust us, it creeps up fast. This quick guide will help you score the best deals, skip the stress, and get hyped for the trip of a lifetime.

How to Book Flights Step 1

Whether you’re heading to Cabo or Rosarito, these tips will ensure you score the best deals, save money, and arrive ready to party.

1. Plan ahead (like, now)

Spring Break is peak travel season. Flights sell out, prices spike, and nobody wants to be that friend stuck with a $900 ticket and a 12-hour layover. The earlier you start looking, the better your options.

Use this in your favor:

  • Spring Break in Cabo San Lucas is from Sunday to Thursday.
  • Spring Break in Rosarito is from Wednesday to Sunday.

And for Cabo Spring Break, we offer a 5th-night option at the end of your trip to increase your flight options.

How to Book Flights Step 2

Pro tip: Use flight comparison tools like Google Flights, Skyscanner, or Hopper to find the cheapest days to travel. Use the flexible dates option, as it might be worth spending an extra day or two in town to get a better flight deal.

2. Know Your Airport Options

Cabo San Lucas: Fly into Los Cabos International Airport (SJD). Once you land, you’re just a short ride away from the airport.

Rosarito Beach: Fly into San Diego International Airport (SAN), and we’ll take you on a short drive across the border, as the Rosarito package includes ground round-trip transportation.

We’ll handle transportation across the border straight to your hotel. You just need to arrive before the shuttle departure time.

3. Use AI to find the best flight times and prices

You already know your trip dates as we’ve got that covered. Now here’s how to use AI tools to find flights that match your itinerary without paying Spring Break surge prices.
Here are ready-to-go prompts you can try with ChatGPT:
  • “Find me nonstop flights from [city] to Cabo that land before noon on March [date].”
  • “I’m flying from [city] to Cabo for Spring Break. What are the best budget airlines and when should I book?”
  • “Is it cheaper to leave Cabo on Thursday or Friday to match a 5-day Spring Break itinerary?”
Once you’ve identified the airline and flight dates, search for discount codes or available promos:
  • “Search the internet and find me a discount code or promo flight on [Airline + date]”

4. Pack Light to Save

Airlines love charging extra for checked bags. If you can fit everything into a carry-on, you’ll save cash and skip the baggage carousel. Think swimsuits, sunnies, and just enough fits for pool days and club nights.

Could you fit everything in a carry-on?

If you know you’ll need more, it’s usually cheaper to book a flight that already includes a checked bag instead of adding it later.

5. Consider Group Discounts

Traveling with friends? Some airlines offer group discounts for parties of 10 or more. While LVIN handles many group logistics for you, it’s always worth asking your favorite airline about deals if you’re planning to travel together from day one.

6. Double-Check Your Info before booking

Before you hit that “book now” button, ensure your travel details match your LVIN itinerary. Double-check your name (as it appears on your ID or passport), travel dates, and destination.

Cabo San Lucas: Fly into Los Cabos International Airport (SJD): Check-in is at 3 pm. If you arrive before that time, you can leave your luggage at the hotel and come back at check-in time.

Rosarito Beach: Fly into San Diego International Airport (SAN). Make sure you arrive early to catch the shuttle service.

7. Don’t Lose Your Flight (seriously)

It might be too far off to worry about this, but we just wanted to bring it to the table. Spring Break travel can get hectic.

Arrive at the airport at least two hours early for domestic flights and three hours for international ones.

This gives you plenty of time to check in, clear security, and grab snacks for the flight.

For your last day, you are responsible for waking up in time for your checkout, but we know how hard you all party on the last night, so we’ll set a few reminders.

8. Ready, Set, LVIN!

Once your flight is booked, all that’s left is to get excited and convince your crew to do the same. We’ll ask for your flight closer to the trip.

The countdown to Spring Break is officially ON.
