Hey awardtrail fam! Planning a trip to those beautiful beaches and ancient ruins of Tulum? Great news! The Mexican government just opened a brand-new airport right in Tulum.
Why should you care? Well, before this, you probably had to fly into Cancun, which is a bit of a drive (and can be pricey with taxis or shuttles). This new airport should cut down on travel time and potentially save you some cash. Keep an eye out for flight deals directly to Tulum, and get ready to soak up the sun!
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.
