Using Puerto Vallarta as a starting point for travel in Mexico is no longer as expensive as it used to be. Many discount airlines have begun operating over the last few years.
Four popular discount airlines are:
Interjet - Hub city: Toluca (just outside Mexico City)
Volaris - Hub city: Toluca (just outside Mexico City)
Viva Aerobus Hub city: Monterrey (Northern Mexico)
Alma
All of these airlines fantastic promotional fares. Over Spring Break this year, we flew roundtrip to Monterrey for $750 pesos per person. Check their websites often to see what they are offering. Viva Aerobus has the most aggresive promotions. If you book far enough in advance you can get a flight that costs $1 pesos plus applicable taxes which comes out to a little over $500 pesos.
To give you an idea of the airlines’ standard rates, I did a price check for a flight to Toluca leaving Thursday, April 17 and returning Thursday, April 24.
The results were:
Volaris - Puerto Vallarta to Toluca, $1690.30 pesos
Interjet - Puerto Vallarta to Toluca, $1790.30 pesos
A few years back it typically cost more than $4000 pesos to go roundtrip to Mexico City from Puerto Vallarta.
