Puerto Vallarta is poised for a bustling 2024-2025 winter season, anticipating a significant influx of international visitors thanks to an expanded network of flight routes. According to Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP), flights from the United States will account for 47% of all routes to the city, while Canadian routes will comprise 29%. Domestic flights will represent 22%, with the remaining 2% coming from European cities.
This means that nearly eight out of every ten flights arriving in Puerto Vallarta this winter will originate from international destinations. The U.S. market is leading the charge with 26 routes, including major cities such as Atlanta, Austin, Denver, Dallas-Fort Worth, Detroit, Newark, Houston (from two terminals), Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, Portland, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Salt Lake City, and Santa Ana.

This marks one more route than the previous winter season.
Domestically, there will be 13 routes connecting Puerto Vallarta to Aguascalientes, Ciudad Juarez, Durango, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Mexico City, Mexicali, Monterrey, Santa Lucia, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Tijuana, and Toluca. Notably, this is one fewer route compared to last year.
