TUI, the leading global travel and leisure company, has announced that it will operate a direct flight from Belfast International Airport next March coinciding with the Easter break.

Departing Monday, March 30, 2026, Northern Ireland holidaymakers can choose from over 70 hotels along the stunning Caribbean Coast for their 14-night holiday.

Spring temperatures in Cancun can range from the early 20s to the early 30s, with around 9 hours of sunshine a day and low rainfall anticipated – ideal for a sunny escape!

Cancun is on the coast of the Yucatán peninsula and is one of Mexico’s top tourist destinations. It also serves as the gateway to the resorts in Riviera Maya to the south. Purpose-built resorts edge tropical beaches while jungle tours and water sport opportunities are easy to come by. On top of all that, holidaymakers can also explore Mayan ruins, taste Mexican food and wine and watch cultural shows where dancers perform in brightly coloured body paint.
