Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – On Tuesday, November 2, Puerto Vallarta welcomed the long-awaited American Airlines flight from Austin, Texas, which will operate three times a week and offer more than 2,000 seats per month from the North American city.
With this new flight from Austin, there are 5 routes coming from Texas that operate to the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, making it the state with the highest number of frequencies in the United States to this sun and beach destination.
The Texas airports that connect to Puerto Vallarta are: DFW International Airport (Dallas – Fort Worth), George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P. Hobby Airport (both in Houston), McAllen International Airport (McAllen) and Austin Bergstrom International Airport (Austin).
The arrival of new air routes from international markets, in addition to the one recently inaugurated from Austin with American Airlines, confirm the high expectations that Puerto Vallarta has for the autumn-winter season in visitor arrivals.
“We are very happy to receive this new route in Puerto Vallarta from American Airlines, which adds to the wide range of flights we have from Texas, and the entire United States. Texans are a very important market for us since they are regular visitors to this beautiful tourist destination, and have verified that in addition to the great diversity of activities, gastronomy, among other amenities offered by the port, they feel safe in the Most Friendly City in the World,” assured Luis Villaseñor, director of the Trust of Tourist Promotion of Puerto Vallarta.
For his part, José María Giraldo, director of operations for American Airlines in Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Ecuador, commented that “The team in Mexico is extremely proud of our continued commitment to the country through new routes, higher frequencies and aircraft and new destinations. This year we will have a record growth in Mexico of 23% compared to 2019.”
It is important to mention that American Airlines has gradually and positively reactivated its flights to Puerto Vallarta, currently offering routes from Dallas, Charlotte, Chicago, Los Angeles, and most recently, Austin.
Travel experts have again announced that sun and beach destinations are the preference for the upcoming holidays, including Thanksgiving, which is why the tourist security platform Allianz Travel Insurance placed Puerto Vallarta in the top 3 of favorite destinations for North Americans to celebrate this special date.
It is not the first time that an expert platform in the tourism sector has placed Puerto Vallarta among the favorite destinations to enjoy Thanksgiving, as well as Christmas and New Years, since Expedia recently placed the city in its Top 10 destinations for Americans to spend the fall-winter holidays.
