How Long Does It Take to Fly from Cancun to Holbox?
A private flight from Cancun to Holbox takes approximately 30 minutes, making it the fastest way to reach the island.
Flights depart from the private aviation terminal (FBO) at Cancun International Airport and land directly at Holbox Airport. We recommend arriving at the FBO approximately 15 minutes before departure.
If you are connecting from a commercial flight at Cancun Airport, allow at least 60–90 minutes between your scheduled arrival and private flight. This gives you time for immigration, baggage collection, customs and the short transfer from the commercial terminal to the FBO.
Will I Get a Refund If I Cancel My Flight to Holbox?
Yes, depending on when you cancel your private flight.
14 days or more before departure: You receive a 100% refund of your deposit.
0–13 days before departure: Your deposit is non-refundable. The remaining balance is not due until the day of travel before departure.
If you notify us at least 48 hours before departure, we may be able to offer a travel voucher instead, subject to availability and booking conditions.
If Flights Holbox is unable to operate your flight due to weather or operational reasons, your deposit will be fully refunded.
How Much Luggage Can I Bring?
Your Holbox flight luggage allowance depends on the number of passengers and the total aircraft weight.
For 1–3 passengers, each passenger can usually bring one checked bag up to 20 kg plus one carry-on up to 10 kg.
For 4–5 passengers, luggage is limited to one carry-on up to 10 kg per passenger.
The maximum combined weight of all passengers and luggage is 330 kg (727 lbs). Please provide your approximate passenger and luggage weights when booking so we can confirm everything can be accommodated safely.
Why Is the Luggage Allowance Limited?
Safety always comes first. Every aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight established by the manufacturer and required by aviation regulations. Therefore, we carefully calculate the combined weight of passengers and luggage before every flight.
These calculations allow our pilots to operate the aircraft safely while providing the best possible performance throughout the journey.
Traveling with Extra Luggage
If your group is carrying more luggage than the aircraft can safely accommodate, don’t worry. We can usually offer two convenient solutions.
You may book a second aircraft for your group. Alternatively, we can arrange a luggage transfer by road directly to or from your hotel. Our team will recommend the best option based on your travel plans.
Tell Us About Your Luggage Before You Fly
Please let us know how many bags your group will bring when you make your reservation. Then, we can confirm your luggage allowance before your travel date.
By planning ahead, we can ensure a smooth check-in and help you avoid any last-minute changes at the airport.
Do Private Flights to Holbox Operate in Bad Weather?
Yes. Weather and runway conditions can affect private flights to Holbox. Light rain or cloudy skies do not necessarily prevent flying, but thunderstorms, heavy rain, strong winds or poor visibility may cause delays, rescheduling or cancellations.
Heavy rainfall can also affect the Holbox Airport runway. Because it is an unpaved island airstrip, the airport may remain closed after heavy rain until runway conditions are suitable for safe aircraft operations. This means a flight may be affected even when the weather is sunny on your travel day.
We monitor weather and airport conditions and will discuss rescheduling or ground transportation alternatives if your flight cannot operate safely.

Contact UsOur Story
More than 17 years ago, Flights Holbox began operating private charter flights throughout the Riviera Maya with one simple goal: to offer travelers a faster, safer and more comfortable way to explore some of Mexico’s most beautiful destinations.
As private aviation in the region continued to grow, we expanded our network to connect popular destinations across the Yucatán Peninsula. When private flights to Holbox became available, we proudly introduced one of the region’s first regular private charter routes to the island.
At that time, Holbox was still a peaceful fishing village known mainly by locals and adventurous travelers. Over the years, the island gained international recognition for its white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and relaxed atmosphere. Especially after 2014, Holbox became one of Mexico’s fastest-growing island destinations.
As tourism continued to grow, so did the demand for a faster and more convenient way to reach the island. Flights Holbox quickly became one of the leading providers of private flights to Holbox, helping thousands of travelers avoid the long drive, ferry crossing and multiple transfers.
Today, Holbox is one of our most frequently flown destinations. Every year we welcome families, couples, honeymooners, wedding guests, business travelers and adventure seekers from around the world, offering a private and comfortable journey in approximately 30 minutes.
Although our company has grown, our values have remained the same. We continue to focus on safety, reliability and personal service. Every flight is operated by licensed commercial pilots using professionally maintained aircraft, ensuring every passenger enjoys a safe and memorable experience from takeoff to landing.
Whether you’re visiting Holbox for the first time or returning to one of your favorite places in Mexico, our mission remains simple: to provide the fastest, safest and most comfortable way to reach Holbox while delivering the personal service that has defined Flights Holbox for more than 17 years.
