FAQs for booking flights from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta

  • How can I get from Puerto Vallarta airport to the city?

Government taxis wait outside the terminal building, and tickets to your destination can be bought in the taxi booth in the arrivals area (after the "shark pit"). The price for a ride into the city will be approximately 150-200 MXN (8-11 USD).

  • When you go from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta and want to fly nonstop, you can book with Delta. The airline also offers a lounge in Terminals 1, 2, and 3, where you can wait for your flight in style if you’re part of a Delta membership program.
  • Alleviate stress with the popular PUP Brigade parading Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

  • When arriving at Puerto Vallarta Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR), be prepared for the "shark pit" after the customs area. Here, salesmen may try to sell you timeshares or discounts on tours, but it is advised to steer clear of these offers and head to the exit. Some of them may also claim to be taxi drivers, but there is an official taxi line just outside the terminal, so simply walk there.
  • If you want to explore the surroundings of Puerto Vallarta in your own time, consider renting a car at Puerto Vallarta airport. Major companies like Alamo, Hertz, and Thrifty offer their services onsite in the arrivals hall, and cars can either be pre-booked or rented directly from one of the counters.
