Heads up, Tulum fans! Getting to those gorgeous beaches just got a whole lot simpler (and potentially cheaper!). The Mexican government has officially opened the new Tulum International Airport (TQO).
Why is this a big deal? Previously, getting to Tulum meant flying into Cancun (CUN), which is about a 1.5 - 2 hour drive away. Now, you can fly directly into Tulum, saving you precious vacation time and those sometimes-sketchy transfer costs. Keep an eye out for introductory flight deals to TQO as airlines ramp up service to the new airport! Less travel time = more time sipping margaritas on the beach, right?
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
