Good news for our friends in Austin!!

[Michele]

This just in from smartertravel.com.

"Viva Vivaaerobus! The low-cost airline that's been serving points in Mexico from Austin, Texas, since last year has announced new daily nonstops from Austin to Cancun and Monterrey, Mexico, with fares starting at $9.99 each-way (not including taxes and fees). Service begins on May 1, and the limited super-cheap fares require at least a five-week advance purchase.

Though Vivaaerobus is unique in that it's a Mexican low-cost airline serving the U.S., it joins a larger phenomenon of low-cost carriers connecting the U.S. with Mexico and Central America. For instance, ATA connects the U.S. with Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico. Frontier flies to Costa Rica and Mexico. JetBlue serves Cancun, Mexico. And Spirit, which already flies to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua, just kicked off nonstop service between Ft. Lauderdale and Panama City, Panama."

Thanks, Michele. That's awesome news. Austin is one of the places we've been dying to visit for the music scene (since several of our beloved Neville Brothers now live there!). Thanks!!

Cool. We love Austin as well! Great music scene & restaurants, and we have family there. Schlitterbahn, here I come!

I purchased my round trip flight from Austin to Cancun for $150.00 (taxes included), the airport is only 5 minutes from my home, and I'll be staying at the Luna Blue for 10 days....how much better can it get?

Thanks Michelle....we just bought three round trip tickets for $300.85 for a week in September using their flexible date search. Thats total, not each. That's incredible! For those prices I'll rent a car and drive to Dallas.

Muchas Gracias!
