At about 2,680 miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Cancun International Airport (CUN), a nonstop runs roughly 5h55, give or take with the winds. The nonstop award space in the data is split between Delta and Alaska Airlines. The Airbus A321, Airbus A321neo, and Boeing 737-900 all appear on those nonstop award segments. Only about 2% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
On a run like Seattle–Cancun, cash fares are real competition for points. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on Delta costs more. Taxes and fees on the cheapest economy seat run about $62, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. If the cash price is modest, buying the ticket is often the better trade. The exception is business class: at about double economy, it's the cabin where an award is most worth checking against the cash fare.
American AAdvantage wins economy at 10,000 points and business class at 20,000. Alaska Atmos Rewards lists first class from 35,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Of the other six, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Aeromexico Rewards are worth a look too. Even with American AAdvantage on top, a last cross-check before transferring is cheap insurance.
Seattle–Cancun draws nonstop award space from two alliances: Delta (SkyTeam) and Alaska Airlines (oneworld). Partner programs in both alliances can each book a nonstop. Connecting awards near the price floor run through Dallas/Fort Worth and Mexico City.
Check the departure code before moving points; Seattle awards can also start at Everett's Paine Field (PAE). Related award routes at last check: Dallas to Cancun from 7,500 points and Seattle to Anchorage from 12,500. For a longer redemption from Seattle, Amsterdam and Athens are tracked too.
