Slim pickings for direct flights to MBJ from Saskatoon. Mexico flights are a dime a dozen unfortunately! Was going to use Sunwing for my Nov & Apr trips but then they were pulled for those months. I was considering waiting until closer to departure to get an affordable sale price. Regular price is well over $1000 pp. I signed up for alerts - Air Transit had a good sale ($550 pp) with great times in Jan/feb a while back, wish I could have taken advantage of it, but already overextending myself with my two planned trips.

It's rare to find a decent price from Saskatoon with WJ or AC for a flight with good times and only 1 stop each way. The good prices involve 2 or even 3 connections - that is just too much for me. Often you'll have a layover of only 9 hours, which means very little time in your hotel room (which of course adds to the expense unless you can use reward miles), then you have an early flight to Calgary and then you have a wait of several hours to get on your Saskatoon plane. Ugh, did that once where I spent well over 24 hrs of one weekend from setting out for the airport until finally arriving at YXE. Was exhausted and needed a holiday after my vacation.

I ended up booking AC in June for both my upcoming trips. One connection each way of course but good times allowing 14 hours for the one overnight and the return flight has us arriving home just after midnight. Used reward miles for the one night hotel each trip. Nov trip was $845 pp tax in and April was $743 pp tax in. Not stellar pricing but a good compromise between price and good flight times
