Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Alaska Airlines began nonstop service from Orange County, California, to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on October 9. The flights are year-round and will operate three times a week, on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday.

To celebrate the new service, Alaska is offering introductory one-way fares of $129* for tickets purchased by October 15, 2015 for travel through February 9, 2016.

"Alaska Airlines has long been the leading carrier from the LA Basin to popular resort areas in Western Mexico," said John Kirby, vice president of capacity planning for Alaska Airlines. "We are excited to offer new non-stop service from Orange County, California to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico."

Alaska Airlines began flying to Mexico more than 25 years ago. Today, the carrier operates 35 weekly peak-season flights to Puerto Vallarta - more than any other carrier from California. The airline also started service from Orange County to Los Cabos last week.

Alaska is operating the new flights with fuel-efficient, next generation Boeing 737 aircraft. Customers can enjoy free entertainment on their own devices and power at every seat, as well as Northwest-inspired food and beverages, such as Beecher's Flagship cheese, and exclusively blended Canoe Ridge wine.
