Flights from Puerto Vallarta (PVR) to Mexico City (MEX) from 49MXN

Here’s everything to consider before heading to the airport:

• Check-in: Be at Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) at least 2 hours before takeoff. Use Volaris online check-in to skip the lines.
• Documents: Bring valid ID. International travelers should carry passports and FMM forms.
• Luggage: Most fares include a personal item and carry-on. Add extra bags when booking to avoid fees.
• Mexico City weather: The capital is cooler and less humid than the coast. Bring layers, especially during rainy season.
• Things to do in Puerto Vallarta: Before leaving, squeeze in a final stroll down the Malecón or a breakfast of chilaquiles with a sea view.

Your flight lands at Benito Juárez International Airport (MEX), located just 10 km east of the city center. The airport is well-equipped with free Wi-Fi, restaurants, ATMs, metro access, and taxi/rideshare pickup zones.

For transport, take the Metro, Aerobús, or authorized taxi. Many travelers opt for private transfers to hotels, especially during peak hours.

If you’re hungry, head straight for tacos al pastor at a terminal taquería or sip a café de olla while planning your day. For a deeper dive into the capital, grab a Mexico City travel guide at one of the airport kiosks.
