Miami and Orlando are among the growing list of cities offering direct flights from the United States to Mexico's Yucatan region with the help of low-cost Mexican airline Viva Aerobus.

The new flights from Florida will launch in July 2024 and will land in Merida, the capital city of the state.

Orlando joins Miami, Houston and Dallas in offering direct flights from the U.S. to Yucatan.

2023 has shown that Mexico’s safest state is in high demand, with no signs of slowing down.

From spectacular beaches to the ruins of Chichen Itza, Yucatan has much to offer. The list includes the famous underground swing pools known as cenotes.

Viva Aerobus has confirmed that Orlando International Airport (MCO) will be part of the new routes flying directly to Merida’s Manuel Crescencio Rejon International Airport (MID).

Miami International Airport (MIA) will now offer flights to Merida from both the newly established Viva Aerobus route and the one already offered by American Airlines.

The expansion is part of a state-run plan to increase tourism.
