When this route gets cheap.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 5.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under Aeroméxico, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $349 for 2,489 km each way, that works out to about $70 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $41 per 1,000 km typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 5 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Cancún, this fare ranks 3rd — 26% above the $276 from Toronto. For context, the middle fare among the 7 routes of similar length we watch out of New York is $209. We have 3 months of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage. Fare history here is still too short to name a cheap season. The best time to be in Cancún: Dec–Apr.

Good to know
NYC → CUN, answered.
How far in advance should I book NYC → Cancún?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. Our guide Why flight prices change covers the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from New York to Cancún?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Aeroméxico. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
