Fly nonstop to San Miguel de Allende from Chicago, Dallas and Houston from $234

[ad_1]

If you’re a fan of unique art, neoclassical buildings and tequila, visiting San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, should be high on your list of travel destinations. A great new deal on airfare makes a trip to the charming town in Central Mexico even more appealing.

American Airlines and United Airlines both have a number of big discounts on flights to San Miguel de Allende for travel in the spring and even into the start of summer. San Miguel de Allende is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the architecture and colorful streets in its main town square. Once in danger of being abandoned, San Miguel de Allende became a haven for artists in the 20th century. It has since become a desired place for retirees to settle in to enjoy their golden years, thanks to its quality of life and relatively affordable nature.

Most of the fares in this deal are for flights between March and June of this year, departing from cities like Chicago, Dallas and Houston. A few routes are even on sale from August until January 2025, with Thanksgiving included. These are economy fares, so checking bags will cost extra.

Note that for most flights, you’ll be flying into Queretaro International Airport (QRO); the airport is in Santiago de Queretaro, the capital city of the state of Queretaro. From there, it’s about 41 miles to San Miguel de Allende. Some routes involve flying into Guanajuato International Airport (BJX) in Leon — a city in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, which is about 90 minutes from San Miguel de Allende.

American’s fares come with a free carry-on. If you want that privilege on United, you can upgrade to economy class for $30 to $35 each way. That also gets you seat selection and the ability to change your reservation for free.
