1. The cheapest time to book a flight from Providence to Cancun is 21 days in advance, saving up to $50
Organizing a trip to Mexico takes some work. You’re not only booking activities and hotel stays in a country that speaks a different language, but the currency is different, too. As such, planning your trip at least 21 days in advance allows you the time to get everything done. Plus, it can save you up to $50. That extra money can be used towards a snorkeling excursion in the world’s second largest coral barrier reef in the Riviera Maya.

Visitors can expect up-all-night dance clubs any time of year.
