Options include United Airlines, Aeromexico, and Volaris if flying from Fresno.

When choosing flights, we recommend either flying from, or having a layover at, a major US airport such as LAX or SFO. If you have a connecting flight at some Mexican airports, such as Guadalajara, you may have to exit immigration and re-do security all over again; this can be cumbersome if it's not your final destination airport.

If choosing Volaris, be aware of significant extra

surcharge if adding checked luggage AFTER ticket purchase.

You will need to fill out a declaration form when you get to Mexico. Sometimes the declaration form is given to you when you get your ticket/check bag in or in the plane. It will also be available once you land. It is better if you complete it before landing.

*Bring a pen*

Once you get in the country, they will give you a receipt that you will need to keep in your possession. According to the paper, you will not be able to return to the country if you lose it or you might need to pay a fine. They do not always ask for it but just in case do not lose it.

While traveling in Mexico, not all flights will have a passenger jet bridge. There might be stairs and buses involved. Please keep that in mind.

At the airport you can only take taxi. We recommend getting the service from the booths right before the airport exit.

The Westin hotel is located in Zone 1A. For us, it was 320 pesos that equals around 17 dollars. You can expect something similar to that.

Blue copy is yours to keep and orange copy is given to the driver. A staff outside may assist you to a taxi when they see your ticket.

DO NOT get services from the corridor where people sell timeshares and car rentals (it's after baggage claim). Just smile and say "No, gracias".

Uber is available outside airport to get around in Puerto Vallarta. If you wish to take Uber after landing, you need to exit the airport and cross the street via an overpass.
