American Airlines has become the latest airline to announce service to Tulum’s new airport, following similar announcements from Delta Air Lines and Spirit Airlines. While the announcement was first made a few days ago, the schedules have now been revealed, and flights are on sale.

I was in this area earlier this week. Was astonished to see how fast the Tren Maya had been built - it was only *proposed* in 2018, and they're running test trains with revenue service starting next month. (Contrast that with the US, where we wouldn't even have finished the library of requisite studies.) If Lopez Orbrador wants something built, it gets BUILT.
Turns out delta isn’t very uniquely positioned to fly to Tulum from just one airport 🙂
WTH would Delta be 'uniquely positioned"? Delta has no advantage serving Tulum over any US Carrier and even their partnership with Aeromexico probably keeps them in third position in relative service to all of Mexico with AA and UAL having much broader coverage.
AA also flies two daily flights DFW to Cozumel in winter (maybe one in the off season).
Love the 787 option from DFW to CUN (via Avios). Does UA or DL flying lie-flat to the region?
He's just joking about Delta's news release saying they were uniquely positioned to serve Tulum...
When Spirit is serving Tulum too, there's nothing unique about Delta. 🙂
But "He who shall not be named" lost his mind that Lucky dared question Delta's uniqueness. Quite an entertaining psychotic rant in the comments section on that OMAAT article.

Considering folks want books banned in the US, your library reference falls flat here, Jim ;).
It’ll be interesting to see where United will fly from.
IAH is an obvious one for United.
I’d be surprised if DEN got a flight since Iah could handle most of that traffic. Ord and EWR would be my other two airports to Tulum. Three total.
the psychotic rage is not being able to accept that Delta's statement was indeed true at the time they announced their service, the first of the US airlines to do so.
Let us know if they repeat that claim but you and I and everyone else knows exactly what they meant.
Expecting Jetblue to enter the chat soon and add JFK, after cutting so many LGA flights.
Timmy, being the first to announce doesn’t make you the best. It’s clear with the amount of destinations AA is going to offer to Tulum, and it’s only a matter of time before UA/AS/B6 add flights more significant than a single ATL frequency. Lololol.
Julie,
Don't you realize that Delta is the world's ONLY PERFECT airline? That's why it's uniquely positioned for every possible flight it offers - at least in some poster's eyes.
BUT ... As one ponders these important issues - every airline is "uniquely positioned" - because of its hub structure - so the claim of uniqueness is P.R. gobbledygook.
Cash fares on sale, but miles are not, as of Nov.12. Why no mention of it? Is it a one MILE at a time blog or what?
Surprised seasonal JFK service isnt being offered. Would seem an easy market to charge a premium, especially if you are the only carrier offering non stop service
Religion has nothing to do with her "performance." She is narcissistic, egotistical and devoid of any comprehension of social norms.
Singing on a plane or elevator or any other enclosed space is unacceptable. To argue proves how disconnected she is from reality.
And, yes, the "world's only perfect airline" (as some would say) does a far better job of training its employees to de-escalate than most other airlines.
It is most hypocritical to judge her on her religion (which apparently isn't our own?) and ignore a principle that should apply to us all - "he who is without sin should throw the first stone."
But let's be clear that this site has become a cesspool for the internet losers who themselves find joy in mocking others because they don't have the mental horsepower or emotional maturity to participate in the discussion.
Gary and Brett told these same people their conduct is no longer welcome and, to nobody's surprise, their sites are much better off - and OMAAT is the last refuge for these VERY FEW people.
Nobody comes here to read the personal spats that anyone has with anyone else. Your best readers -the ones that actually bother to register their names and email addresses - come here for the generally very good content and good discussion from 98% of the participants.
Put your big boy pants on, Ben, and clean up the cesspool. Your readership or your page clicks won't go down.
And then maybe you'll be in a slightly better position to condemn someone else for how they live their life.
and good for American. They clearly are now THE BEST POSITIONED airline to serve Tulum. Too bad Delta didn't know what AA had planned.
What on earth are you ranting about? Everyone on VFTW holds you just as accountable and makes fun of your delta dogma there as they do here
You’re on the wrong article. Think you’re on the singing gospel Article.
Wrong one here 🙂
You two jumped right into the hole that was dug for you and proved you are incapable of connecting two dots
Are there capacity constraints and/or gate slotting limitations for each airline? Curious as to who can and is flying there (e.g. United) and to what extent the airport can accommodate.
@TD - can you EVER admit you are wrong? Even just admit you posted your screed to the wrong post? And when called out on it, you say that they “jumped into the hole…” Huh? Grow up Tim.
Hahaha, Timmy posted a long rant on the wrong post! LOLz!!! Poor Timmy is embarrassed!
Careful Timmy, wipe the foam from Your jowls. Getting a bid rabid on this one....
the only people that posted anything in the wrong place because there really is no place in civilized society for people that use the internet the way you and your ilk do.
To no one's surprise, you completely failed to connect not just the two stories but also the comments which are littered throughout not just this article but dozens of others.
There are handful of people, yourself included, that are completely incapable of discussing the topic but can only focus on other people.
When the comments sections of articles mention users before they have even participated, it is clear that the inmates are ruling the asylum.
You are truly to be pitied. Your mother must be so proud of you.
And, since you are incapable of even picking up on the humor, American is indeed the best positioned to serve Tulum but that won't get discussed here because mental midgets like you hijack every conversation and ben doesn't have what it takes to stop his site from being taken over.
Flights are on sale? Not that I can tell . Every time I search it converts to Cancun.
Tim, you think you're the smartest guy in the room. You post long rants that frequently belittle other commenters. You distort facts to fit your narrative. You're incapable of admitting even minor, inconsequential mistakes.
You're the Donald Trump of aviation.
As much as I might disagree with Tim on occasion, I totally agree with his post.
We’re both faulty at times, but he’s correct with his post.
I wish he wasn’t so defensive. He has good knowledge…but it gets lost in the cloud….
They used to say “fog of war”, now it’s just the “fog of comments”
Tim: grow up. You complain about people being incapable of discussing the topic, but then resort to calling people mental midgets. Clearly people are getting to you when you resort to writing “your mother must be so proud of you.”
thank you, Leigh.
when there are a small handful of people that incessantly throw my name into multiple discussions even before I participate in them, there is a problem and it needs to be dealt with.
and when it becomes acceptable by Ben by not cleaning up the crap, then the entire comment section suffers.
Nobody comes here for personal mudslinging.
Those that are incapable of participating in the topics need to be shown the door.
And rather than including or referencing me in the articles, Ben needs to take the high road and lead.
Seriously, tim
You come on here name calling at everyone half the time then resorting to diminutive mental state calling for those that dare correct you on your “facts”, which aren’t facts, they’re opinions.
It really is tragic that you’re now trying to poorly shame lucky for your own name calling and mudslinging
Grow up. You’re responsible for most of the random name calling on here
Max,
you would desperately like to think that the issue is shaming Ben so as to hide from your own dysfunctional behavior.
The only people that are being shamed are you and BG that started this thread.
Name calling and manipulation is tacky and childish, right? so why do you do it? All I have done is treat you exactly as you are doing to me. My user name is clear. Funny that you can manage to use it here.
no, nobody is responsible for name calling or childish behavior except the person that uses it.
The sooner you take responsibility for your own behavior and for discussing the topic at hand instead of users, the happier we will all be.
And as much as I would like Ben to ban people who can't treat people decently, all you have to do is make sure YOU do what is best for the site and represent of how you not only would treat someone in person but also how you want to be treated.
And then tell people that behave the way what I hope will be how you USED TO BEHAVE is to say "knock it off"
sad that Tulum is now so "out".... brooklyn in da'haus! with cell phones and pot smokers
Ben,
Can you do a write up on your thoughts on the revamped Business Extra program changes please. I have always thought it a very mediocre program at best, right from their customer service to the actual portal itself. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the old versus the new program being introduced.
Many thanks Sir!
