Tulum Car Transfer
Posted by H2O Tiger on 12/20/25 at 11:47 pm
Headed to Mexico for the New Year, flying into Cancun and staying at the Hilton in Tulum. There will be 5 adults and our 18 month old son and we don't want to deal with renting a car.
Does anyone have experience with a reliable car/van service that can get us to/from the hotel to the Cancun Airport?

You need two days at most in Athens. We did a day and saw everything we wanted to and then some. Spend your time in the islands.

If you like airplanes, check out Nolita Hall in Little Italy, it's directly on the approach to SAN and planes come in so low you can read the registration numbers. The bar has a glass roof and old school flight boards behind the bar that show the arriving aircraft.

Aside from that, we rented a car during our trip and headed up the coast and out to Coronado. We had a 4 month old with us so our activities probably won't align with your interests.

Ahh. Cool. You and I are very different people. But enjoy the trip(s)! Safe travels.
If you think that's wild, you should go check out FlyerTalk.
I also have a travel website where I write about all of the trips as well.

Why are you doing this? Not trying to be a jerk just don’t understand the purpose.
I've got a group of friends that just like to fly around for the sake of flying around. Combine that with a couple of expiring upgrade certificates and cheap airfares made this a no brainer to us for a weekend getaway.

This tracks, looks a lot like the new Suburban. The SUVs typically get the refresh first.

They're nuts. I used to see them coming in to land at Barksdale and the thing looked like it was going to fall out of the sky it was going so slow.

Small planes don’t bother me at all but amateur pilots do. Things happen very fast in a small turboprop/jet and the ability to stay calm and make sound decisions when there’s a problem is not a natural trait without experience and training.
He's a good pilot but he's an entrepreneur. Has a second pilot when he flies for business.
The crash that my friend was in that killed his GF and her parents was due to the fact that he had just picked up the plane and was distracted by showing it to them. Didn't realize something was out of position. They never cleared the airport fence.

Into Milan and out of Stockholm/Madrid have been a sweet spot. Tickets into Basic Economy but with the systemwide upgrades we were straight into Business at booking. Just play around with Google Flights in January and February.
Cheapest routes are JFK-MXP outbound and MAD-MIA on the return. It wasn't too much more expensive to ticket me all the way back to Austin if leaving from Stockholm so that's what we did.

I have a buddy that has a TBM 700 and my wife won’t let me fly in it. One of my good friends was the sole survivor of a plane crash in College Station a few years back and now I’m not allowed in anything with one engine.

The website does make a profit, yes. It's also just a fun guys trip.
We're doing the trip at the end of February and I'll be gone three nights, no different than when I travel for work. Both my wife and I think its important to be able to get away and unplug for a bit. She's doing a girls weekend next month.
Also the ticket before taxes and fees was $11.

We went to Prague a couple of years ago in February. Had a very nice time but I think my expectations were too high. Everyone had been hyping it up and, while still a nice place, it didn't like up to the hype to me.
Stayed at the Andaz Prague which is a great property that was walking distance from a lot of the sights. I'd go back but there are other places I'd be more interested in exploring first.

EXP with AA here. I am really confused what you are asking. Are you looking for global or intra-Europe one world flight choices?
Just any funky intra-Europe routings you may know of. Will hopefully give me some good airlines/lounges to review.
Looks like every other PJ out there if you don't know what you're looking at.
Looks like a missed approach to me as well.
