Los Cabos is one of the most popular international escapes from North Texas, with resorts, golf and private villas at the tip of the Baja California peninsula. Dallas travelers usually leave from Love Field or Addison, whichever is closer to home, and arrive at Los Cabos International (SJD). The route is comfortably within midsize jet range. It is a common choice for long weekends, birthday trips and family holidays, especially in the cooler months.
