 Crazy family! by jamiesno
It was a great deal I though, including transfers to and from the airport.
This tip may only be relevant if you are leaving from Canada. I know there are many other major carriers going into airport.
If you can wait until last minute I know there were some people that stayed an extra 7 days and paid only half what I did!!!! Leave a Comment

Depending where you live, a plane for me would be the best way to get to PVR.....for most people it would be.
As for getting around PV, I would say the city bus or Cabs. the Bus is very inexpensive. For Cabs, make sure before you get in the cab to ask how much it will be. ( ex: to go from the Marina to Downtown, it costs 40-45 pesos. ) dont pay any more than that ....or they are ripping you off. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

airplane is best, you can get tourist cards either from the airline steward(esse)s or at the airport; customs is random inspection and fairly cursory; i've driven into mexico only once (border towns are NOT representative) and don't remember encountering a hassle but have heard of people who have; because of the distances and mountains, it is hard to travel much except by plane unless time is not really a problem. local buses are incredibly cheap; i've traveled from city to city but had to rent a car.

We flew on Continental from Chicago to Houston then PV.
We highly recommend renting a car and driving yourself. But book the reservation in the
US and get the price in writeing before you go. We saved 50% this way. I would decline the extra insurance. Driving is not 'crazy' it is slow and simple to get around. Easier and safier than say Los Angles or Boston! One thing we noticed was the 'Big rigs' come out at night and on the 2 lane moutain road it is slow going. Making Left hand turns is different and they explain how it is done in PV. Once you know its a piece of cake! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Beware of Funjet charters such as ryan international airlines. These charters may be cheap but at what cost ??? I flew Ryan to Cancun last year and my friend flew Ryan to Puerto Vallarta a yr before. We both had bad experiences. I never had a seat , and neither did 6 other people on our flight to Cancun. We had to take the next plane out which was the following day. Funjet paid for our hotel but it was one wasted day of vacation. Also Ryan International has a very old/aging fleet of planes (727s) and an inexperienced staff of ticket agents/flight attendants who have limited training and information. I have only heard negative things about this airline! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Sun Trips contracts with Ryan International Airline for travel from Oakland, CA to Puerto Vallarta. The package deals for air transportation and hotel are about the lowest.
On the airplane, the rows of seats are as closely spaced as possible, so the flight is not comfortable. But it only lasts three hours, and after that you are in sunny Puerto Vallarta. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

On my second visit to Vallarta I decided to fly with Lineas Aereas Azteca which was a small airline but flew to several places, even USA. The service was pretty acceptable and the prices were some of the lowest available within Mexico; the punctuality was fair too (we had a 1-hour delay when departing from MEX City but the flight back from Vallarta took off exactly at the time they had advised).
Unfortunately this airline is out of business now. Other options to fly into Vallarta are: Magnicharters (a small local airline which flies into our main beach destinations, with good prices & service) and Aviacsa (good service and prices too, although they're higher than they used to be a few years ago but they often have discounts available). Aeromexico and Mexicana also have several flights to Vallarta but they're the most expensive. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
