These are the flights we’ve flagged:

We recommend searching through Google Flights to find your ideal dates and then booking your flight directly on the airline’s website. Direct airline bookings are more dependable if your flight faces a delay, cancellation or booking change.

Keep in mind that the fares featured in these deals are for basic economy only, which comes with many restrictions. American’s basic economy allows passengers to bring one free carry-on and includes fees for seat selection. Travelers flying basic economy with American cannot make changes to their tickets or receive refunds.

Despite the restrictions that come with basic economy, you’ll still save a ton in airfare. The $315 sticker price for a round-trip flight to Los Cabos is considered to be low for basic economy, according to Google Flights.
