How to book the cheapest flight to Puerto Vallarta?

Accepted Answer

Picking up cheap flights to Puerto Vallarta is as easy as booking with Orbitz. But if you'd love to make sure you're getting the best flight deals around, here are a few tips your budget will love:

Departing from or arriving at other airports can sometimes help you cut costs. Type in your preferred departure and arrival airports. Next, click on the 'Nearby airports' function below the form fields to compare your options.
Similarly, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link to bring up the airfares on days either side of your chosen departure. You may be able to find cheaper flight deals if your itinerary is flexible.
To fine tune your results, hit 'Show options.' You can search based on seating class, airlines, nonstop flights and refundable flights. You can also select your preferred flight times under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
Once you've sorted out your travel dates, get booking. Fares usually get dearer as the departure date nears.
Combine your hotels, flights and car rentals into a package deal and unlock great discounts. Save your hard-earned dollars for things you're really excited about, like discovering every corner of Puerto Vallarta.
Where possible, don't fly during the busy season. Airfares often hit their highest during summer, school breaks and other vacation periods like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
