There are multiple ways to get to the island and many handy hints that will make planning a little easier

By Plane

The quickest way to get to Cozumel is by plane. There are many flights each week From all over the US, Canada, Cancun, and Mexico City.

Continental Airlines has one commercial flight from Houston, TX that is direct and arrives midday during the week and twice on the weekends. The flight is a beautiful 1 and a half hour flight.

Aerocaribe, the local airline, has an average of 10 flights a day to and from Cancun. If you are unable to fly directly to Cozumel Island then check into flying into Cancun International Airport and taking a quick 20 minute flight to Cozumel. It is a very beautiful flight!

Other carriers have seasonal flights and you should contact your travel agent for a current schedule.

Another option if flying into Cancun is to take a taxi from the Airport to Playa Del Carmen (a 30 minute ride South), and then taking the Ferry from there to Cozumel Island (a 30 minute trip).
